Favorite episode...


Hey guys... Just curious to find out what everyone's favorite Elephant Show episode was... Mine was the one where Elephant was walking on the ceiling and Sharon, Lois & Bram did everything backwards for the day...

I liked the one were they go to Pioneer Village and made brooms.Eric was left picking apples in an orchard and when he took a snack break,everything the kids served him was an apple product. One boy went to learn how an old printing press worked.

I also liked the one where they went around town learning about hobbies.Bram's hobby was learning the root of words...like when a girl was showing Sharon an aquarium full of fish,Bram noted:"Aquarium comes from the latin word 'aqua',which means water. It's also the root of the spanish word 'agua' and the french word 'eau'."
Lois:"oh...."
Lois liked cooking,so when she was making bread,she sang the "shortin' bread".
A side note:for those of you who know the 'shortin bread song'...it's parodied on Garrison Kealor's radio show "Prairie Home Companion".They sing:"momma's little baby love's rhubbarb pie..."

My favourite episode has always been "Museum", probably because I visited that particular museum about once a month throughout my childhood. It was really cool to see people on TV hang out in these settings that were really familiar to me.

I don't remember a lot of the episodes, per se. I remember a lot of the songs though. "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight?" in particular is one of my favorites. Also, one where some woman guest starred, and sang some song about feeding pets... "Fish goes bubble-up, bubble-up. Cat says 'open that can!" I love those songs!!! I wish this was out on DVD :(

Oh yes, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor" has always been a great favorite of mine too. Eric sang it in the episode "Sleep Over" accompanying himself on the banjo. I play some banjo myself, but I'm nowhere near as good as Eric.

One of my favorites was when Eric Nagler is telling the kids about how Sharon, Lois, and Bram got started on their tv show. Each of them imagined what kind of show they'd want- Sharon wants a gameshow, Lois wants a soap opera, and Bram wants a drama- then Bram has the Casablanca scene where he's impersonating Humphrey Bogart and Elephant is playing the piano, and he says "You played it for her, and now you can play it for me." I LOVED that scene!

I also loved the episode where they all go to the farm, and Jan Rubes is there. Lois sings the MaresEatOats song, and Sharon sings that really sad song about growing up. It used to make me cry.

The first episode you speak of was the series finale. It was a favorite of mine as well. In Lois' soap opera "All My Doctors" (a takeoff of "All My Children"), two of the doctors were played by kids. This was about a year before Doogie Howser, meaning that Neil Patrick Harris was not the first to play a kid doctor on TV. Classic stuff. I wish they'd kept it on the air.

definately the Ice Skating episode

nothing beats an ice-skating elephant


NOTHING

Yeah... that was with special guest star Toller Cranston.. loved that episode too.. partly because it had some of the best songs on it like SHIMMY COKE A POP, ONE FINGER ONE THUMB and UN ELEFANTE!!! Love that one.. :)

reply

The final episode was the one I remember best (the one when they all reminisce in how the group was formed); it filled me with such a sense of melancholy every time I watched it because it reminded me there was never going to be another episode. I also liked the mystery one where the "Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar" was featured, probably because I have fond memories of my brothers and I singing that song and accusing each other as a game when we were kids!
