See if you can detect a game show reference in this sketch.

Thank you for linking to that. I remember that from when it first aired. The reference was a nice throwaway line that came out of nowhere.
Doug -- and the countdown to 2100 continues

I don't see the GS reference, but it's still one of the better sketches in Sesame Street history.

Here's a small hint - when that green guy comes along and Ernie and CM are trying to identify him - listen to one of the suggestions that CM makes.

OK.....At the 2:55 mark, listen very closely to what Cookie Monster says - he utters a well-known (presumably at the time) game show host's name.

I had to play that part back about four times this morning but I finally figured out what Cookie Monster said. It's someone I never confused for Sherlock Hemlock, that's for sure.

Maybe it's because I specifically listened for it, but I got it immediately.

Yeah, I *really* had to pay attention the first time through and listen as closely as possible to see if I got it.
Matt, GREAT find!

Okay, for someone who doesn't want to sit through a three-minute clip, will someone just TELL US what the reference is?
-
Still took me two times..but I got it now. :)
Maybe I shoulda grown up watching Square One instead.
Not really related, but does anyone know where I could find a clip of the "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12" bit they did, that ended with that cool looking swirling machine?

Yup. :)
At that 2:55 mark, in trying to figure out who the green-colored guy is, Cookie says "maybe Allen Ludden".

YouTube, I believe, has that too. (That and those awesome "baker" skits with the numbers flying toward the screen.)

Thanks a bunch! I had forgotten that they highlighted an individual number...and how funky that bed of music was.
I didn't know that "pinball" would be the keyword.
Does Noggin still show old Sesame Streets?

[/quote]
If "old" is from a couple of years back, then yes.
But I'm sure you meant the classic ones, which unfortunately disappeared from the network once Sesame Workshop pulled out.

Technically, what Noggin's running is the "Play With Me Sesame" repackages, which contain some original Muppet scenes with four characters (only one of which--Fran Brill's Prairie Dawn--is performed by the Muppeteer who originated the character, and boy does it show). They don't have the rights to anything else--and PBS Kids Sprout is unsurprisingly rerunning recent episodes and not the oldies.

Ah, yes - my mistake. Thank you, Mark. It's Sprout, not Noggin, that shows the recent entire episodes. I miss the old Noggin, instead of "The N" crap that's running now.*
* With the occasional exception of Degrassi

Noggin is somewhat still around, if you count the mornings... at nighttime, teens are only allowed to watch. The original N used to have reruns of old "teen-oritented" Nick shows like Clarissa and Pete And Pete... Now it's Degrassi and Degrassi wannabes.
Classic Sesame Street I believe is also coming on DVD sometime this fall, which is some great news to hear!
