Biff and Sully appreciation thread

That's just assuming Joey's characters will have a reduced role now that he's gone.

Yeah Murray has been retired, Baby Bear hasn't been appearing as much so no Papa Bear at all, Stinky & The Elephant I don't know about, So yeah possibly no Joey characters anymore.

Maybe they can start bringing back some of the older minor characters like Biff, Sully, Herry and Frazzle to compensate for the loss of Joey Mazzarino. That's just assuming Joey's characters will have a reduced role now that he's gone.

What happened to Joey?

What happened to Joey?

He mostly left due to the new executive producer not having the heart of the show or something around those lines.

I'm glad, I was tired of his characters making my ears bleed.

Here's the bad news he was the head writer as well so, I hope the new head writer is good.

Yeah, weather you liked his characters or not, he was the head writer and thus, was one of the show's major creative forces. Sesame Workshop more or less drove him out, which is quite worrisome.

Vocally, Joey may have been a bit much, sure. But I won't say he wasn't a great writer with a fine comedic sense.

I wasn't aware he was head writer so please don't think I was insulting his writing capacity. Thank you for pointing it out

I guess you haven't watched the show much recently, correct?.

Stinky & The Elephant I don't know about, So yeah possibly no Joey characters anymore.

Yeah, Stinky hasn't appeared at all this season, which is unusual because he usually has that one street scene about him every season. Horatio appeared in one street story this year and that's it.

I am just thinking Horatio might just turn into a stock animal character like Joey & Davey Monkey & Billy Bunny.
