Does anyone know who was doing the voices of most of the girl/woman AM's during SS's first year? Fran Brill hadn't been hired yet, so it had to be Henson, Oz, and Nelson doing them. We know how well Frank does certain female voices :mad: , but others really do sound like women to me---like the...

Bob is a granite Atlas statue, Telly is the Mona Lisa, Elmo is inside a suit of armor, and Susan and Gordon are faces on an Egyptian hieroglyphics wall (not sure if it's supposed to be a famous one or just a generic). Can't speak for anyone else, but if I was at a museum, and an Atlas statue...

Here's how I would do it; Start on a Monday with #1, and continue until #5 on that Friday. Then the following Monday, show the first week of the second season, #131-#135. Keep going with every year's first week until whenever you decide the cutoff year is. (I think by now it could go a little...

I couldn't even start to name favorites, so I won't. About "Somebody Come and Play". I'm thinking of the one where you see those mountain lions (at least I think they were mountain lions---haven't seen the durn thing in almost a decade) tumbling around in the snow. Does anyone know who that...

You guys have totally made my day. That little sequence has stuck with me my whole life and I waited years to see it again. I finally did recently when I got an '88 episode off of someone. Two things about this always jumped out at me; the boy, in silhouette, rising up out of bed, and of course...

I would be very interested. Very interested indeed. I don't know if I have anything to trade for it that you'd want, but I do have 27 episodes spanning 1969 to 1992. Some are Noggin episodes that probably everyone else on here already has, but some are rarer. I have one from '88, 3 from '91...

I'm curious to know what were all the "real" cartoon characters that popped up in SS skits over the years, as opposed to incidental characters designed for just the skit, or even recurring ones like Teeny Little Super Guy and Christopher Clumsy. Here are all the ones I know about: Jughead...

I can't imagine any little kids wanting to imitate Don Music's head-banging. When I was a kid I thought it was the most painful-looking thing I'd ever seen and I'd cringe whenever he did it. Well, everybody's different. :p You guys can't be serious about some of these edits. Bert fainting...

I don't seem to remember Susan being around very much when I was a little kid (late '80s). I do remember at least two plots she was important in, though.

I like to imagine where that wall might be. I always figured Sesame Street was close to Central Park, so I placed it somewhere there. (Oh, and in this show, you can have, blue, pink, purple, red, or puke-gray skies;) )

Really? I like those Rocko episodes. Slow burns are always fun to watch, and it's great to see Elmo get mad for once. Since he's usually so cheerful all the time, seeing him go nuts is a novelty. "Rocko is a rock!! A ROCK!!! Aaaahhhhh!!!" And those withering looks he gives to the audience...

Dunno about that, but two weeks ago I was at a conference where one of the speakers was Jerry Lieberman, the animation producer whose studio provided the "body parts" animation for that skit. He ran a reel showing some of his studio's work over the years. (people laughed out loud at Herry's...

I miss Henson's Kermit too, of course, but I like Steve's Kermit a lot more than his Ernie. Now Ernie I really miss. (What can I say? I love the guy:p ) Whitmire even said in an interview (wish I remembered where I saw this) that, since he worked side by side with Henson for years while...

I think this was first one, from the first show. It's a two-parter where Kermit is trying to talk about the letter W, and a certain blue monster (who hadn't yet evolved into Cookie Monster) keeps eating parts of it, first turning it into an N, then a V, then an I. The second part has...

I was too young to know Mr. Hooper (he died when I was one). But from the few episodes I've seen him in (about 8) I feel like I've always known him. To me that says something about the character's presence. I can't think of a single human character I've known over the years that I didn't...

I remember Julitette showing up a lot when I was 6 or 7. I remembered the character well and was surprised when the same puppet showed up a little later as Ingrid. I always liked Juliette. Maybe she was dropped because they thought it wasn't such a good idea for Telly's neuorses to have...

After starting out as orange and turning green, Oscar took a detour of sorts in early 1974. (I base this on #573, which is not a Noggin show but one that was apparantly smuggled out by some PBS or CTW employee, and which by my estimate would have aired sometime in January '74.) The Oscar...

Born in '82, so my memories of SS would start around '85 or '86. Honestly, though, my memories don't get specific until '89 or so---I seem to remember quite a few stories from that period. I was actively seeing it all the time up through '92 or so, and so was around to see the theme song...

jeffkjoe: what jumps out at me about the earliest Cookie is his very skinny head. He basically has the same face, but the back of his head is pretty much not there. It filled out a little with the next model. I didn't notice the lip---although I would say that the whole mouth in general seemed a...

minor muppetz: I think Grover asks him "Is the number 2 not your most favorite number?" or something like that. Sully pauses, than shakes his head no. I remember that "Teeth" segment. I haven't seen it in yearsI love it when Kermit says through the teeth "Uh, Grover. Bananas are not...
