Sesame Street - Colambo: The Case of the Missing Pig

[jpeavler1975]

The ending was so funny!

[jpeavler1975]

Anyone know who played the farmer?

[cellokid]

Would you happen to have ''The Lost Slipper Caper?''

[pokemon5621]

where did that cow came from

[muppetfan33]

Those clothes make the piper's son look turkish.

[muppetfan33]

Did that guy see stupid written on Colambo's and the farmer's backs? They could see those animals were a pig, a cow, and a chicken, and not a dog, a cat, or a hamster.

At the beginning, Dave gives the man a voice kind of like that of Uncle Traveling Matt, but later on he sounds more like Gonzo.

[MuppetPro]

Wow, Dave Golez on Sesame?

He was only on there breifly durring the early 1990s.

I wonder why he desided to work on Sesame. Usually he only works for The Muppets (Muppet Show Muppets).

[thekingof8]

He was there in the early 90's after Jim Henson and Richard Hunt passed away, to bring morale back to the staff.

I have-but I don't know the entire rhyme. They spoofed it once on Bullwinkle's corner on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

[MarshalGrover]

That's a very obscure nursery rhyme, considering I've never heard of it before.

[jonnytbirdzback]

You know what, I've never heard of that nursery rhyme neither.

[moatguy]

Nor did I.

[muppetfan33]

What I want to know is what was that guy doing with that pig in the first place?

[grecomic]

In the original nursery rhyme, the pig was stolen for food: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away did run; The pig was eat And Tom was beat, And Tom went crying down the street.

Theft and violent retribution does not make for a very PC nursery rhyme. That's why if you were born in the 1970's or later, you may have not heard it.

[muppetfan33]

I've kind of heard it. I've heard of it.
