The Letter People - Meet Miss I

[Jennyrom14]

perhaps shes itchy because of her clothes

[joyjoy70301]

Mss I must have an INFECTION

[TuxedoAllure]

You know, the modern song is not half bad. It would have been better used for an update of the original show instead of a total overhaul. The new series is very, very different. I liked all the Vowels [except mr y] being female. I liked the simple names and stories; it was fun. This is a bit...er... un-fun

[letterpeopleland]

@TuxedoAllure I think you're a bit confused....See the comment I posted in response to your comment on the Miss O video.

[jccw227]

This song's making me itch.

[baritonebynight]

Sorry but the Incredible Inventor is the FAKE Miss I

[SpeedingHedgehog]

wow. not the best.

[gilgamess]

I think this was the episode with the obnoxious comic that said, "Where's your patience, in the waiting room? Nnneck-neck-neck!"

[letterpeopleland]

@gilgamess No that was Meet Mr. C

[gilgamess]

@gilgamess Thank you! I haven't seen that since it was first broadcast.  It was Corny Cornpone and I was only off by one "neck" in my quote.

[Dogma1Laboratories]

Weird -- I never saw that first itchy video! But I remember the second one from grade school.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

Let's watch this after recess again like we did back in 1990.

[spike354]

@incrediblehulkmovies actualy they had changed the letter people in 1990 to a revised version aka different version all

letter people that relied on junk food they had deleted and chnged same thing with mr x they thought they were making fun of handycapt people. some people were the same but just with different lyrics in their song the rest they changed because they thought they had bad influences on kids...

[incrediblehulkmovies]

@spike354 Really? I was in first grade in 1990. This is news to me.

[MsAmethystPrincess]

um..i don't remember the song being like this

[JayCharlesLander]

The original Ms. I was the prophet of her kIds' upcomIng lIves. It Involved constant Itching and going, known as hyperactIvIty, and rItalIn (which many would IncreasIngly be gIven). It also Involved an era of Innocence endIng with computers connectIng Information and the world faster and IndIscrImInately (and war beIng televIsed).

Another strange memory that mIss I brIngs: staples being scarce In school because of war.

[MrDerby2u]

you know, now that im older, these songs, like the "itching song" kinda makes you think...

[DLCOrganization]

If you thought that was something, check out her appearance in "Miss I & Indigo the Ink Keeper" in the related videos. That's a little bit more up your alley of innuendo.

[nickajackdam]

the part where she says, 'but my most incredible, best invention is......i invented ME' always made me pause in kindergarten on some existentialist, "how did she invent/create herself?" but she was still a favorite

[DLCOrganization]

Of all the Letter People songs, I always tend to gravitate toward Miss I. I always remember the rhythm from the record and the 8-track game.

The original Miss I vocalist sounds like the vocalist on the original Chiquita Banana commercial, just to let you know.

[LittleMissCooper]

They have ointments for that itch

[butterscotch500]

but then she wouldn't be Ms. Itch, she'd be Ms. Normal which doesn't start with I D:

[nofun74]

or valtrex

[mrmuddlefan]

i love miss i

[incrediblehulkmovies]

You should see a doctor about that iching. Could be contageous.

[chrisduran]

she was definitely a meth addict.

[guysmileyiv]

Miss I will be played by America Ferrera (aka Ugly Betty).

[blackonyx2002]

I imagined Miss I as Diahann Carroll or at least her Dynasty character Dominique Devereaux.

[Charterstone]

I see her more as Dionne Warwick or Eartha Kitt.

[guysmileyiv]

@Charterstone Eartha Kitt died a few years ago.

[teecayb]

@Charterstone I agree; she has an Eartha Kitt thing going on.

[sadiqqa]

But why was the piano moving?!?!? Hilarious!!

[Mahoganyrose]

LMAO that's a very good question.

[culpit]

I remember Miss I's Itchy Itch. It was a bunch of fingers with creepy eyes attached to the top. It was invisible to everyone, but Miss. I.

[FactoryGirl31780]

She looks so much like Eva Longoria, it's scary.

[maatspear]

EVA LONGORIA. LMAO!

[luengaga1978]

The announcer sounds like Ed Sullivan.

[Priss111]

Along with Miss O 'Obstinate', Miss I's Itchy Itch was also kept in my classroom and I'm an 80's child.

[Julietjeske]

I loved the original Miss I and Miss O, I could see why they changed them, BUT they had the best songs and characters. I guess the negative aspects of being stubborn and itchy were considered to much, but I liked the edge. I never saw the show in school but on local PBS in St. Louis. This show was my OBSESSION when I was child, I knew nothing about the kindergarten school program until I was an adult.

[chainsaw6996]

ST. LOUIS RULES!!!!!!!!!!

[spencell]

I was in St. Louis too!!! You mean Letter People was not on PBS all over the country?

[letterpeopleland]

The Letter People aired on multiple PBS stations.

[stillthechampionnn]

@spencell it was here in Georgia.

[AmericanCalabar]

@spencell Nope! I never saw it again when we moved to MN

[KNDAWG74]

So who was the male letter person who made Miss I itch all the time?!?!

[Priss111]

The little lower case i was name Itchy itch. He was sometimes invisable.

[headfonez]

@KNDAWG74 I'm thinking Mr. H and Mr. V had something to do with miss I's itch

[colleen4ever]

Miss I's speaking voice reminded me of Kathleen Turner.

I do NOT like that nevv song! :(

[pgriffi]

Good times!

[Jaydon79]

MS.I! was a FIERCE LETTER!!!!

[stevenrf69]

fierce?

[playboy03]

That's a funky beat in the instrumentals. I use to love listening to the record of this as a kid (shows my age if I remember the records of the letter people)

[Lycanthrope777]

I really need to show my mom this video; she would crack up at that Elton John puppet in the background! I wasn't a huge fan of Miss I as a kid... she just creeped me out for some reason. (Why does her speaking voice sound so familiar? My friend and I both swear we've heard it somewhere else...)

[raspberrymuffin]

Man what an ego. :P

[stevenrf69]

ego?

[KurtKokaine1]

I swear I remember Miss I having something to do with ice cream.

[letterpeopleland]

In the TV series Miss I owned "Miss I's Ice Cream Club."

[Mahoganyrose]

this was one of my favorite ones when i was in kindergarden. next to mr. m. brings back so many good memories :P

[Julietjeske]

I wonder why they changed her, I guess making a woman who was known for her "itch" was seen as political incorrect. I loved her this way she was so COOL BABY!!!!

[efil4own1]

Yeah...and her speaking voice was very seductive, too.

[stevenrf69]

what does th@ hafta do w/anything?

[efil4own1]

I liked Miss I the way she was. I just remember, as a kid, thinking that cuica in her original song sounded like a dog barking.
