Sesame Street - U is a great letter

[MsPandaRosa]

"what's the catch, you got to order so many a month or something?"

well, with a U, you do generally get a Q to go with it

[adamssean6494]

It belongs to the letter U. Too funny.

I'm looking for an animated letter video similar to this. I don't recall what letter it features, but I've been trying to find the one with the line "Not something like--exactly like--you've got the mind of a flea." It's a line I quote all the time, but I just don't recall which letter clip it came from.

[pazzensutra]

These old cartoons are hilarious.

And if put in charge of the alphabet, an efficiency expert would abolish the letters C, X and Q because they can't do anything an S or a K can't do. Mark Twain suggested this a century ago.

[Tigerboy83]

Better to get rid of K rather than C. Otherwise, how do you make the 'ch' sound?

[flowertrue]

If somebody had invented the alphabet now, some corporation would patent them so nobody could use them. (Probably Microsoft)

I was just wondering - is the clip involving a purple alligator in a suit (animated) on YouTube yet? He keeps trying to keep a letter 'U' from rolling over, puts stops underneath it, proclaims 'Observe the Capital Letter U...Solid as a Rock!', and then the 'U' falls down, straddling him.

[d72jjpilc]

I might remember this, but I'm not too sure. One thing's for sure - the voices here are the same as 'Two Guys and the Letter J,' except that the tall guy in 'U' has the voice of the short guy in 'J,' and vice versa.

[Garrettk41]

The tall guy sounds like Bob Arbogast.

[loveutoto]

It sounded like a doorbell rang, just before the short guy told the tall guy to put the U down!

[PandaMishima]

Then I wasn't the only one to notice that.

[loveutoto]

I always wondered what that sound was all about!

[samsticka]

I remember another animated skit from "Sesame Street" where a man talks about the letter U. And at the end, he pretends it's a guitar.

[flairboys]

adverbs are free too,at lolly's!

I have great memories of Saturday mornings during the mid to late 70's. Schoolhouse rock cartoons, Shazam and Land of the lost were my favorites. And, of course, other Sid & Marty Kroft T.V. shows!

[HoustonRules]

I LOVE Schoolhouse Rock! I have the 30th anniversary collection on DVD. Didn't care for Land of the Lost or Shazam. I watched other stuff (BB/RR show--90 minute version), but I always switched to ABC at the end of each half-hour for Schoolhouse Rock!

[Tigerboy83]

LOL, what a neat way to tell kids that the letters of the alphabet are in the public domain.

[CarCrazy12804]

Any chance someone could post some classic clips of the dances they showed the children on the show doing? Thanks!

[Lectronimo]

Wait a second! You mean to tell me that letters are free?! Had I known that, I'd have been littering the comments sections of all these vintage Sesame Street clips with my inane remarks, instead of, what?, about 90% of them.

[culpit]

I had to buy some refrigerator magnet letters one time.
