Mysterious Theater

Mysterious Theater was a series of segments shown on Sesame Street, starting in Season 21 (1989). They were a parody of the PBS series Mystery! and were hosted by Vincent Twice (a takeoff of former Mystery! host Vincent Price). The skits featured Sherlock Hemlock and his faithful dog, Watson.
