Many times I would think of this cartoon and the letter D both voiced by Gary Owens with the dog and the dinosaur! " If you dig a dinosaur drop your duck for a dime!' It is only later that I knew Gary Owens was both the voice of Space Ghost and was the announcer of Rowan and Martin's Laugh In! Thanks for the memories!
Oh, wow...I only saw this one once back in 1983, and never again. I remember taping just the last few seconds of it on a cassette, but never caught it again to get the fist half. Always wanted to see it again ever since then. Lots of people here on YT are still looking for this one. Thanks for posting it!
The heckler getting what he deserved would never happen on Sesame Street today; no wonder some parents on YouTube tell me "I'm showing my 4-year-old the classic stuff". The two-lessons-in-one approach, the humor appealing to adults AND kids...I miss the days when children's shows were done that well.
@SnowbirdFlock: Probably a hard-to-read script, from the days when people had to use the same typewriter key for small L and the number 1. Two different actors making different guesses?
Thanks for posting Nanto! Hadn't seen this one in forever! Hilarious! "You've got the mind of a flea!" LOL. Whoever that smartass was he sure was asking for it! Hope he learned his lesson.
You're darn right, Nanto. And something else I thought about today. Compare the cartoons on Sesame Street to those on today's shows. Nowadays, the voices are always ones you'd use to talk to a little kid in person. In other words, always excited sounding, eager to learn, and rather (if not extremely) bland. Back when you and I were growing up, on the other hand, voices in kids cartoons actually had bite. Jim Thurman, for instance, had a voice that would crack up adults as well as kids.
Nice to see this one again.

I just noticed and really like the 0:25 mark where he says "Impolite", and then looks over at the heckler, giving him an obvious hint.

@ShadesBelow03 The first time I saw this, I thought the man was going to drag the heckler onscreen so as to give us a visual aid for impolite.

@hoopersghost I always wondered why the rude loudmouth said it looked like an L, then the seen guy agrees that it looks like a 1. must be a blooper!

Lots to be learned here; letter i pronunciation & perhaps more importantly, what happens to mouthy people who don't know when to shut up
