Best. Sketch. Ever. Even my dad still talks about this 30 years later. Click here to watch it on YouTube.The Count hires Ernie to answer his phone so that he won't be bothered with calls while he is counting. However, when the phone rings, the Count wants to count the rings, and won't let Ernie pick up the phone until it's too late. "I told you it wasn't going to be easy," the Count explains.
That was pretty funny. I noticed at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago that they are now selling a DVD collecion of classic Sesame Street from the early '70s.
ReplyDeleteI have that DVD set! It doesn't have this sketch on it (this was from February 24, 1975), but it's got some good ones on it.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. I love Sesame Street.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I especially loved Bert & Ernie.
