Doodlebugs! I haven't thought of them in probably decades, and their little voices are filling my head now. Nice.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The bit that most stuck with me was the "For What It's Worth" woodland animals being hunted segment.
I can comment intelligently on Sesame around the world. Apart from Canada (and that one is an, "I think". To my knowledge, it's the same, but with French instead of Spanish), the local Sesame is produced in that country, in partnership with Sesame Workshop. Each country has its own cast of muppets, themes, etc, suitable to the lives of the kids in that country (c.f. muppet with AIDS in South Africa). They get some of the inserts (apparently, the Germans love Bert and Ernie), but not the central cast. China got Big Bird (basically) , but that was A Thing, and not normally done. (on the upside, this means they don't have Elmo)

I was going to mention that one, but couldn't remember the name of the song! Very memorable.
I always liked the "Veterinarians' Hospital" bits, because of all the really bad puns. "The continuing stoooory of a quack who has gone to the dogs..."

I think of that whenever I hear that song.

Wrod.
And the Robin Hood one, where they're cavorting in the woods ("Cavort, cavort, cavort"), and Fozzie says, "Wait until you see a full-scale frolic!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're a big enough market. I'm not sure who we got in Jamaica, but it wasn't just for us. Then again, we only just got colour TV in the 80s.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats, Cashmere!
I think I need to put the Muppets box set(s) on my wish list...

And I can testify that as a young child going back and forth between home in NY and grandparents in Canada, this was the coolest thing EVAH!11

I don't think replacing an earworm with a worse one counts.
