i love how they have a msg in the stories, just for kids.

[TonyDuMont]

I liked the term "Royal Sycophant." How very appropriate, but I'm not sure most young kids know what a sycophant is.

[assilembrandywine]

Well, they can learn!

I vivdly remember this episode!

[OofusTwillip]

This reminds me of a story in a 1940s Disney storybook. In it, a tyrannical ruler has a square head (this was during WW2, when Germans were sometimes called "squareheads"), so he decrees that all people in his land must have square heads. The non-square-head people submit to head-reshaping devices, and soon, they're all squareheads. Then the ruler extends the law to all babies being born. When he sees newborns with round or triangle heads, he goes mad & throws himself off the castle tower.

After the episode where Oscar appeared on the Sally Messy Yuckyael show

[MuppetDude]

Obsessive, eh? :D

I love the cast in this one. Frank Oz (starring as a character that's not one of his regulars!), Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Fran Brill, David Rudman...It's an all-star cast!

And take back that obsessive comment at once! At once! At ONCE!

[sawing14s]

Look at the description again: "I keed, I keed!"

[mygirlfriendisback]

Hail to the purple King

[rgcolors]

[Garrettk41]

It's not very often that Sesame Street characters (human ones, anyway) admit to being certain colors.

Is Dave Goelz the voice of the lavender page?

[MuppetDude]

Yep. I was surprised to see a new Dave Goelz sketch; I thought I've seen all of them! I also like that he's performing with his fellow Muppet Show puppeteers as well.
