Loved the News Flashes where something would happen to the Newsman. When it didn't, was disappointed.
Also loved Grasshopper and Ant and when Statler and Waldorf laugh at the screw up, Sam yells at them.
In the Navy.

Rowlf singing Up, Up and Away and the candelabra takes off like a rocket.

In the John Denver Episode when the cast sings "Why Can't We Be Friends". The Song is not only catchy it's pretty clever.
