made sense to make this bit,many kids see shadows of objects when the lights go out...for me it was clothes that were hung and they used to form a face on the wall.it was just to say that you shouldn't be afraid of the shadows because thats all that they were :)
I watched this the other day on a Sesame Street tape I have (I probably haven't seen this segment in at least 15 years!) and I realized the irony in it. His parents tell him it's his imagination, but yet at the end they ask what's that singing, ("It's just your imagination!) So if they heard the singing it wasn't imagined? Sparky sang?
Your'g going to get on the floor looking for an alligator? If you had done that and there were one he would have bitten you. I done se any alliga........CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!
Every kid in my classroom knew "Imagine me an alligator" but I was the only kid who knew the line "I'm afraid of gettin' thinner, won't you please become my dinner".
@learlessfeader I tuned In recently to see what S.S was up to nowadays, & I was highly disappointed. Whats with the CGI? So I changed it cause CGI annoys me. It was cool back in 1995 when it was a new technology being used for Toy Story, but now its everywhere so its not cool anymore.
I remember watching this as a kid in the early 80s--I loved the line, "Go to sleep, Gerald, it's just your imagination." I'm almost 33 now but I still remember this clip fondly...thanks for posting!
If there was an alligator mom what in the world are you getting on the floor looikng fo it for? A lligators are big enough where you don't need to do that.
Imagine me an alligatah!! (Alligator)... ...a neat potatah. (Alligator). I was lookin'... ...and you came by foe me tah munch on!! (Oooh) I'm afraid of getting thinnah, won't you please become my dinnah?!
Just remembered this one. Don't remember if it scared me in the day, but Sparky pretending to be an alligator with his song cracked me up this time around.
I was kinda scared of this when I was really little. It took me a couple of years before I actually started to like it. It's great, thanx for posting!
We have been trying to find this for over a year. Awesome!!!! I don't know what is better the dog scaring the kid or; the kid looking like he is 25 years old all scared. Thanks dude.. Good post
