The genius of Jim Henson #3

For most people in Britain, Sesame Street is that programme with Big Bird and that animation with the marble travelling along a path while counting to twelve.

It also featured some great Muppet stuff, and here's a clip. This is apparently from a PBS pledge drive, hence the All-Star cast.

Some wonderfully weird cameos in there. John Candy! Danny De Vito! Pee-Wee Herman! Gordon Jackson and Jean Marsh off of Upstairs Downstairs! Ladysmith Black Mambazo! Err...some baseball players! A woman with an outlandish hat!
