Why was Oscar orange and then green?

Yeah, Oscar just didn't look right in orange. Was Grover really brown? Does anyone have a picture?

Actually, at the Hicklebee's book signing in SJ, Caroll answered that question differently: he said that after the first season was done taping, Oscar took a vacation to Swamp Mushy Muddy. When he came back, he was green, and he's been that way ever since. :big_grin:

I wonder what color he'll be when he comes back from his next vacation. :grouchy:

<--- maybe a nice sky blue...

Or vomit pink?

I think he'll always be green, as long as the show stays on.

Fozzie Bear · May 21, 2003

Yeah, he'll always be green. We were only joking above.

At least "I" was... :embarrassed:

His design was purple ...... :grouchy:

Super Scooter · May 21, 2003

Yes, purple was the original idea...

Right before Jim Henson and Don Sahlin slashed him to pieces, right? :wink:

I laughed soooooo hard when I'd read that!

Foz, I have it from the highest source. Oscar will be sky-blue next season... :wink:

It is the 35th after all... :stick_out_tongue:
