Learning About Letters (and being terrified of the letter “V”)

I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about this before, but we had this on VHS when I was a kid and it’s still in my head somewhere.

Comments:

  • The hair on that lilac Muppet at 1:51 always made me super happy. It looks like such a nice texture.
  • “‘C’ is for Cookie” is a banger.
  • The deadpan delivery of “Harry the Horse” at 9:05 is great.
  • In Bert’s defense, “linoleum” is a pretty awesome word.
  • That story for “V” (19:50) terrified me as a kid. I’d leave the room every time, haha.
  • That segment from 21:09-22:38 was always one of my favorite parts.

Woo!

[I had a different video of this linked originally, but it was taken down…it turns out that an official one was posted like a month later?]

We had this on VHS and I watched it so much as a kid.

“C” is the best.
“H” is great, too. Such a deadpan voice, hahaha.
“L” was one of my favorites, too. “LINOLEUM!!!!”

Holy crapples, the “V” story always scared the hell out of me.

Yay nostalgia.
