I definently recall a late 90's episode where Gina read this to Zoe and Elmo and one of them even commented that the frog in the book looked like Kermit, and an edited version of this skit played.

You know what? I do recall that too.

Frankly my dear, Cookie Monster don't give a damn.

[Puppyizzy]

i know! It doesn't talk down to kids like tellitubbies and other shows do now. It assumes the kids are intelligent and creative enough to enjoy it, and it provides great entertainment for the parents too! I used to love this stuff as a kid!

I forgot how wonderful Sesame Street was and is. I just LOVE the effects of the wind as if the wind is just so merciless which adds to the comical effect. Especially the moment when the wind invades Cookie Monster's home as Cookie Monster just sits there with little reaction (save for that sweet moment when he hugs a lamb without devouring it).

And Kermit, I forgot that he was there sometimes in Sesame Street. I love you Jim Henson.

Wow now that I'm older I can truly appreciate the stuff that went over my head as a kid.

They must have really, really loved that wind-blowing practical effect because they used it over and over and over - remember when Guy Smiley did a musical number about how "air, air, air - it'll blow you right away?"

Sesame street got me believing that pigs sounds like horses and horses like cows and there are some strong ass winds in Georgia. Put your hand up in the air, catch a lamb and you got yourself a shawarma

I love this! "it is about...the wind." oh Cookie Monster. Lol!

Hey Jon, did you get the new Sesame Street Spoofs DVD set? It includes this segment, and surprisingly it uses the ORIGINAL 1980s Union Jack opening version! I guess SesameWorkshop really wanted to wow the fans who were used to seeing their official uploaded version being the edited 1990s version.

lol, after I saw Gone with the Wind for the first time my friend kept calling Rhett, "red"... and then I saw this and his name being "green" was just so much funnier... along with "frankly my dear" and "I'll think about it tomorrow" just reminded me about how children's television used to be incredibly intelligent... it not only appealed to children but it had humor for the parents watching it as well, brilliantly written... classic muppets = love <3

Holy crap, Cookie Monster smoked a pipe! You don't see that in the show nowadays!

[FetaCheese222]

@muppetfan33 Yes, partially.

I remember seeing Gone With The Wind, the movie, in High School. It's about the civil war, right?
