i haven't watched sesame street in years. as soon as i started watching this i started laughing like a kid again. that's why this show is one of the best shows of all time! lol lol. i love sesame street and i will show my kids this show to.
When my little brother and I were little we had this on a sesame street videocassette... And we would watch it all of the time and laugh!!! I'm in high school now and have not stopped laughing!!! I love Grover!!! <3
También era mi favorito. En España lo llamábamos Coco. Quizá por influencia del temido "¡que viene el coco!" que nos contaban cuando eramos pequeños para que nos portásemos bien.
No sé si en México también usaban al coco para meteros miedo.
Grover was great! He isn't on as much anymore as he used to be, Elmo hogs the spotlight too much recently. I like Elmo, but grover and cookie are the best...
My two year old loves this damn video! He smiles so big and comes running when he hears "HELLO THERE EVERYBODY!". Thanks for posting! I'm glad kids today can experience these great Old School Sesame Street skits.
I imitate Grover's panting sound on 0:37 while demonstrating "Near" after going "Far" for the first time as of getting a big sence of exhaustion (like Grover had gotten) which is a sound I make at work and pretty much everywhere I go quite often. And therefore, my friends and I get cracked up with that sound he makes.
I notice you say "was", good choice of words. Because since Jim Henson's death it has been slowly going downhill and right now they are about to hit bottom.
NantoVision has a spoken verson 'near and far' of this and made the comment - "This is one of those segments that people always seem to remember clearly, regardless of how many years ago they last saw it." And it is so true! I remember singing this for so long after I saw it as a child and cracking up (making everyone else crack up to see me do it aswell!). Now I've finally found it again so thank you! They don't make kids shows like they used to. Now is just dumbed-down patronising rubbish!
we had swinging saloon doors to our kitchen when i was a kid, so i imagine my poor mom has mixed feelings about this episode. to this day i still catch myself singing this song at random moments. god bless pbs!!
GROVER is my favorite and THIS is my favorite song with him. I am proud to share it with my nieces...now 5 and 7...they giggle and laugh and love it, too! love you, grover. xo
Grover is 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (and so on forever) times better than elmo.
Oh my goodness! I'm crying from happiness! This is my favorite thing ever! I had a sesame tape and would listen to this song over and over! Thanks so much for posting this!
I love this song. Whenever I hear the word 'around' it mentally brings up this song.
