Boy, oh boy, does Caroll hate Barney. I remember in his book and various interviews, he won't even mention him by name, just as, "a certain purple dinosaur."

I always just assumed that was for legal reasons, at least in his book anyway.

I definitely remember that Wormy Gras episode when I was younger.

This is probably one of my favorite episodes from season 31 - the Fairy Godperson (called the Jacket Fairy in this episode) makes Zoe's jacket come to life and play with her.

I don't remember the episode, but I definitely remember the jacket from EW's jacket episode.

It's the one where Telly's pet hampster Chuckie, originally thought to be male, gives birth and is subsequently renamed Chuckie Sue:


I definitely remember this episode. I think I saw it when it aired on Noggin about twelve years ago and it's really stuck out in my mind ever since.

I always found it interesting that some of the Muppets had real animals for pets, like Telly had a real hamster named Chuckie Sue, Elmo had a real goldfish named Dorothy, Ernie brought home a real puppy that he and Bert couldn't agree on a name for . . . then Baby Bear had a Muppet parrot for a pet named Ralphie (or "Walphie" as he said, lol).

Yeah, even when I was little it seemed a bit strange when they had that "Best Pet in the World" episode back in '03 and Baby Bear was the only one that didn't have a real animal as a pet.

The episode where Telly tries finding a quiet place to count, to no avail:


The "I'm An Aardvark" song interrupting Telly really takes the cake on this episode. I like how they made the film push Telly out of the way with his hand layered over it...was he grabbing a green screen being held off-camera?
