    The many looks of Beautiful Day Monster

    I've noticed, as many of you probably, the different types of looks for one of my favorite monster muppets. Seems like in the 'frogs don't have hair' skit on youtube, he has more of a beek-like mouth, 'Pick Your Pet' game show skit, it was the B-Day muppet used on the Ed Sullivan show, and on...

    Betty Lou muppet

    On some occasions she was called Lucy Dawn,etc, but did Frank Oz always do the voice for her? I could have sworn others such as Fran Brill did the voice as well. What skits was she even called 'Betty Lou' in because I don't remember.

    The hand animation skits

    I always loved this! Showed an Indian man against a screen making all sorts of animals and other stuff with his hands: dog, bird, a laughing old man, car, horse, and you hear the Indian music in the background. After I would see this, I always would do that at night on the wall near my bed.

    Evolution of Cookie Monster-my view

    Here's how I see it: Kind of cute, but we saw a precursor to the charatcer on the Ed Sullivan Show tape 'Muppets Magic' a great buy for anyone interested in Pre-SS muppet acts. Yes, as mentioned, he was a green color, with very sharp teeth, and Henson did the voice for him, not Frank Oz. This...

    Claymation skits

    As a kid, I always loved claymation,and being that I always enjoyed crafts in grade school, working with clay, at times I would try to copy what I saw on TV. I'm sure many of you remember these skits with Sammy the Snake and Quincy on the letts 'S' and 'Q'

    Paul Simon on the 'Street'

    I remember Paul Simon doing a wonderful ballad, and I don't know the name of it, it goes something like this (pardon me if the lyrics are screwed up, but it's been ages): 'I'd rather be a shadow than a snail Yes I would, if I could I surely would, Hmm Hmm Hmmm This truly was a great...

    Bert's Bottlecap collection skit

    Early 70s, I always loved this one! Bert shows Ernie, who is already bored with nothing to do, his bottlecap collection. Ernie could care less, and Bert goes on about how he has been trying to find one cap he is missing, the figgy fizz. Ernie later shows Bert what he found on the sidewalk, and...

    Judy Collins on SS

    My mom is a huge fan of hers, and I like her music as well, one of the best. She appeared on the Street around the time I was kind of out growing the show, you can say. Anyone have any favorite skits they remember she was in?

    Muppets as part of TV Land awards

    I originally posted this on Classic SS, but figured this may be a better spot for it. I enjoyed the TV Land awards as always, but can't understand why Jim Henson's stuff wasn't given any credit, such shows like The Muppet Show and Sesame Street are every bit as much an important part of TV...

    Jim Henson shows at TV Land Awards

    The Muppet Show was every bit a part of classic television, it was for kids AND for adults. It had a good run, and Jim Henson was a huge part in the development of television throughout the years. There was a lot of history there, and I think the TV Land Awards, though always great to watch...
