Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to feth her poor dog a bone. But when she got there, the cupboard was bare. So the dog ordered chinese food by phone. Ha! Ha! :)

They were geniuses. Comedy geniuses. Who thinks like that? "OK, so 'phone' rhymes with 'bone', so she'll give him a phone. And then while he has the phone, he'll call up & order Chinese." Brilliant. They made childern's television that didn't FEEL like it was children's television. It's sad what has become of SS. Just another Barney, Dora, Blue's Clues that's unbearable for adults to endure with their children.
R.I.P. CTW. Thank you for giving a whole generation an amazing sense of humor.
@anteaterattack I'm with you- that dog is MADE of flashbacks, apparently. I didn't even think I remembered the sketch & then -wham!- I'm hit with a face full of childhood.
The people who came up with these skits were geniuses. They would take something that kids commonly knew about (like a nursery rhyme) and blend it with a lesson to teach (how words can rhyme) and present it in a funny and interesting way too keep their attention while teaching them something. Again, they were geniuses. Of course, now that I'm a big "kid", watching these old skits I saw as a kid are that much more meaningful.
I have watched about a dozen of Kermit's "reports" and it's just apalling how unprofessional he is. He is a reporter, and not supposed to interfere. Just another example of how the Muppet media is trying to control the news we see.
Oh my god! Thank you for posting this. I had completelty forgotten about it until I saw Lamont. Then I remembered him getting mad and irritated at Old Mother Hubbard lol. The way he howled when the cupboard was bare was hilarious. I hope they got her out of that hole. lol.
I love how she keeps pulling her Shawl and fixing it everytime Kermit comes over to talk to her..... like a good "old lady" would.... lol, lol, lol. Also love the Dog's accent ORDERING out Chinees....... lol, lol, lol...... PRICELESS VIDS..... Loved Sesame Street growing up..... :-)
The end is hilarious! I forgot about this great sketch!

Dog: Would you like to stay for lunch?
Kermit: Uh, how's their Moogoo Guy Pan?
Dog: Marvelous! - That part was funny!
It's was funny when Mother Hubbard "dropped out" of the picture at the end & the dog said, "That's one less." :)

I'm just glad they didn't include the last part of the nursery rhyme in this. You know, the part that goes like this:
"So she went to the store to buy him some bread;
But when she came back, the doggy was dead."
DanaAbel30 2 years ago
Actually, that was only the second part. I'm not sure how many parts there were altogether.
I'm not sure I saw this one as a kid, but there is something awfully familiar looking about that dog.

They'd never get a script this well written approved. It would need to be simplified because they feel little kids would never understand it.
