Getting Schooled: Ed Grimley visits Sesame Street (1985)

Mixed in with some repeat segments in a 1985 episode of Sesame Street is a short skit in which Ed Grimley (Martin Short) and his friend, Henry (Billy Crystal, doing a homage to Stan Laurel), attempt to create a clothesline for Ed's shirt, which Henry has washed.



Three years later, Short reached a deal with Hanna-Barbera and NBC to do an animated series built around the Grimley character. Unfortunately, it lasted one season.
