    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Kinda interesting to compare Frank Oz's season 25-43 screentime with Steve Whitmire's: https://muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/steve-whitmire-appearances-on-sesame-street.67219/ Looks like Frank Oz was more involved in the Around the Corner era than Steve Whitmire (kinda surprising considering...

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    I think I found that street scenes in episode 3895 was also Frank Oz as Cookie Monster (albeit only doing voicework with puppeteering being someone else) and Cookie Monster again in Pigeons and Cookies and Trash (since Rudman's earliest year was 2001 in season 32)

    Steve Whitmire appearances on Sesame Street

    Since posts have been made for Jim Henson and Frank Oz, thought it'd be interesting to see how often Steve Whitmire was on the show and years where he was less involved than others. Gonna do the shorter 26-episode seasons first and do the pre-2003 ones later. Season 34: 15 Ernie: Street...

    Why was Dave Goelz not very involved on Sesame Street?

    I notice how among the performers from The Muppet Show (Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz, and Steve Whitmire), Dave Goelz is the only one of the main 5 who didn't get that much involvement on Sesame Street. His only Sesame Street performances were as the Humungous...

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    I posted my work for how I counted Frank's work in seasons 1-9 and minor muppetz posted their proof of the segments Frank did in seasons 10-43, and yes we both included the street scenes.

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Gonna try to add on to the post by trying to figure out how many segments Frank Oz was in for the first season. I'll do each season by different posts. Season 1 - 149 (not counting the CTW sign holding since no one speaks and could be some other performer doing it) - Bert: 58 (all 55 apartment...
