The Letter People - Mr. D & Dolly the Dragon

From episode 21 of "The Letter People" - Meet Mr. D: Delicious Doughnuts

Duke and Duchess Doodlebug are in a dither...their dancing dragon, Dolly (who sounds a lot like Carol Channing), has disappeared, and she's supposed to dance at their party. Enter Mr. D, who lures Dolly back to her owners with various items that begin with the same sound that start Delicious Doughnuts. Later, Dolly plays the Catching Game at the Doodlebugs' party. Numerous "Hello, Dolly!" gags appear in this episode.

I bet Mr. M would love to munch on some of Mr. D's delicious doughnuts. :)

Yes, "but doughnuts doesn't have the same starting sound as munching mouth," so I'm not sure he would.

Thank heaven for Youtubers who post clips like these--the gender-balanced, multi-cultural and health-conscious Letter People that schools use to teach reading today just don't feel right.

He probably would. I remember in another episode, Mr. M wanted some good green grapes for a picnic and Mr. G offered Mr. M a stick of his gooey gum.

I always loved the numerous "Hello, Dolly!" references in this episode. I wonder how many other people who watched the show (then or now) caught them.

Thank you for all of the videos that you put up. The Letter People have always been a favorite of mine and hearing/seeing them all over again makes me so happy. This episode in particular with all the "D" word play. It's so cool the hear this now as I am older.
