MRN Trivia

I've got a good one: can anyone think of a post-75 episode that shares the same episode number as a famous early episode of Sesame Street?

I'll give you a hint: the (MRN) episode is from the 1986-1987 season.

Is it 1575?

Is it 1575?

Yes, you got it. Guess it wasn't as good as i thought. I remember SS 1575, i believe that was the episode where Mr. Rogers visited. MRN's 1575 was Friday of the Dance week.

I have one. Betty Aberlin has danced a few times on Mister Rogers. Name the different types of dances she has done.

I wasn't aware of any named dances that she does.

I meant the different types of dances she does in the show. What were they?

Obviously nobody knows the answer, and it seems that to know every dance she has ever performed, you would need to have watched every episode, which probably nobody (not even Tim, yet) has done.  Can you give us a hint?  Or tell us the answer and we can move on to the next question.

Well the only one I know of was tap and ballet. But here is a new question, what job was Lady Aberlin given on episode 1626?

Here is the next question:

What popular singer released, in 2013, all of the following:

1. A song that includes (in the actual song, not the title) the title of one of Fred's songs.
2. A lyric video that includes an animal that is of the same species as an MRN puppet.
3. A music video that includes an animal that is of the same species as an MRN puppet.
4. Another music video that includes a different animal that is also of the same species as an MRN puppet.

Note that #2, 3, and 4 are all referring to different animals, and that none of them are referring to the song in #1 (although #2 and #3 can be from the same song, #4 obviously is not).

Ok, I'll give some hints:

Fred's song mentioned in #1 was used in a frequently discussed episode that had its last airing during the summer of 1990 (that was not the only time that song was used, nor the only time).  And when that episode first aired, Betty was the same age that the singer I'm referring to currently is. (that should help limit it, even if you don't know the exact episode I'm talking about).

The puppets mentioned in #2, #3, and #4 all reprised their roles, as adults, on DTN, and have a child or other relative who has a prominent role on DTN.

Anyone want to guess, or should I just give the answer if everyone has given up?

Another hint: the song referred to in #1 (the song by the answer to the question, not Fred's song) has the same last word as one of Fred's songs that was not used after the 1968 season.  The song in #2 and #3 has a title that was mentioned by the puppet referred to as #3, but he (another hint) rarely used that word.

I'm just guessing, One Direction?

Sorry, that is not correct.
