I don't know, but he might have been too nerdy than he was supposed to be. To me, he came off like Carlton Banks on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. In fact, I made fun of him once in 1997 (when they had preiviews of upcoming episodes) when he did the chicken dance (A B C D EEEEE F G, H I J KAAAAAYYY L M) and called him Carlton Schmarlton the Ninth Nerd.

Honestly, I like the character. I really do!

Maybe Kevin was preoccupied with elmo. You never see much of his other characters on the show as much, except baby Natasha and THe Grand High Triangle Lover.

I don't know if it might have been just because he was black. That was why they got rid of Roosevelt Franklin. But Kingston was never in a rowdy classroom, or said anything negative.

Well . . .I always judge whether a character has 'staying power' or was just a 'flavour of the moment' creation. I always thought Kingston had great potential; a Rosevelt Franklin for the nineties and beyond. Then . . .zilch! As for Clash getting caught up with one character; both Jim and Frank had major characters to operate, but they still had time to do minor characters, too.

I think the purple Muppet kid you're thinking of is Marty, who sings "Has Anybody Seen My Dog?" with Grover.

I don't know what Same-Sound Brown looked like, but he was voiced by the late Northern Calloway (who also played David).
