Sesame Street News: The Old Woman who lived in a shoe

[foxxyloxx]

Wardrobe Street! So cute!

The way the old woman says Sonny- "That's right, sunneh." has cracked me up since I was a kid.

3:39 "Can I tawk with the mic-wo-phone? Is that a mic-wo-phone? I know it's a mic-wo-phone!"

I got the Jim Henson's kids refrence; if I had any lingering doubts that I was a Muppet freak, they're officially gone now!

Kermit the babysitter! It's not like babysitting his nephew Robin.

The Encyclopedia joke seems very dated.  It is my understanding that, because of how readily available the Internet is, very few people buy them these days.

Is it just me, or did Frank Oz do a LOT of female characters? (he voiced the Old Woman who Lives in a Shoe)

[Madhatter1903]

After watching this I wonder, should I live in a hat or a shoe? What do you guys think?

[blatinaselena]

@Madhatter1903 try a glove lol

[sathyaprabh00]

The man in the glove is grumpy because his house is dark. The woman in the hat was helpful.

I've often wondered why the kids were attacking Kermit at the end.

[muppetfan33]

I thought the young woman who lived in a hat was kind of crazy.

From what I heard: Heather, John, Brian, Lisa, and Cheryl are all the names of Jim Henson's children. Polly and Kate are the names of Jon Stone's (one of the co-creator's) children.

Thank you for helping out.

[classicssmfan]

Actually from what I read on Muppet Wiki, Polly is a reference to Polly Smith, and Kate is a reference to Kathy Mullen.

@classicssmfan

Muppet WIki says that Polly and Kate are Jon Stone's kids. That sounds right to me.

@classicssmfan

Muppet WIki says that Polly and Kate are named after Jon Stone's kids. According to his Times obituary, those are indeed their names.

[antsamthompson9]

The inside jokes are Heather, John, Brian, Lisa, Cheryl, and Paul Henson. Jim Henson's kids and brother. I don't know about Kate though.
