Some of Big Bird and Snuffy's comments are quite amusing. Look, this new character actually makes *us* look smart by comparison!

This was performed live on a popular prime time network variety show, three days after the debut of the Sesame Street version. This is fairly similar to the one they did seven years later on The Muppet Show, but this version has live audience reactions instead of a laugh track.

Sesame Street - Breakfast Time Sesame Street - Breakfast Time
Posted by: NantoVision

Video duration: 264 seconds

From 1977, one of my all-time favorite songs by Jeff Moss. Ernie has invited Cookie Monster over for breakfast, but the two of them have very different ideas about what to eat.
For years I couldn't remember all of the words to this song, but I'd find myself singing Ernie's first line when pouring a bowl of cereal.

The debut of groovy DJ Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman), introducing a song by the first lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Iris (Irene Cara), Kathy (Melanie Henderson), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Buddy (Stephen Gustafson).

Sesame Street - Zero Cookies Sesame Street - Zero Cookies
Posted by: NantoVision

Video duration: 238 seconds

From 1990, the final appearance of my favorite Sesame Street comedy duo, Ernie (Jim Henson) and Cookie Monster (Frank Oz).
Of course I like Ernie & Bert, Kermit & Grover, and all of Jim & Frank's other great double acts, but there's something about seeing Ernie & Cookie together that I always enjoyed the most when I was growing up.

Sesame Street - Healthy Food Sesame Street - Healthy Food

Cookie kicks it old school, from 1987. This song was written by Chris Cerf, and I actually like the original version, made before the show's recent nutrition obsession. 15 years later the song was remade with a guest vocal by Wyclef Jean of the Fugees, but I can't stand the new version.
