    Favorite Big Bird Moments

    I think my favorite Big Bird moment was in Follow that Bird when he sees Ernie and Bert's airplane coming and says "Could that be.... Miss Finch?" Then that suspensful music plays and he runs and ducks and looks at the plane suspiciously. Poor bird must have thought Miss Finch got so fed up with...

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    Prarie Dawn first became a major charachter in the 1990-1991 Season. I remember being very surprized to see her appear in the street scenes. Before this, she only appeared in inserts. It must be Fran Brill started spending more time working on SS in the early 90's.

    Camille Bonora's First Performance

    I have to say, one Muppeteer from the old days I really miss a lot is Camile Bonora. If you ask me she did a really good job at performing a lot of the female charachters, and really brought Clementine to life. My favorite charachter of hers was Ruby. Who was around from 1988-1992. But what i'm...

    the scarcity of green grover

    There is another Season 1 sketch with the Green Grover where a boy demonstrates Forwards and backwards, and a whole group of AM's including Green Grover keep running forwards and backwards stampeding all over the poor boy. This one was probably the Green Grover sketch that lasted longer than all...

    Ma Gorg and the Fraggles in Season 1

    Did any of you noticed, Ma Gorg never really paid much attention to the Fraggles during Season 1? There's only one episode in that year where she interacts with them, and that's the 2nd episode "Wembley and the Gorgs" It wasn't really until Cheryl Wagner took over the role in Season 2, when we...

    episode 2887

    Your'e very welcome. Did you also notice another cool thing about this clip is Luis has a dog. A muppet dog. While it isn't uncommon for Human residents of SS, to own Muppet animals. Linda and Barkley, Uncle Wally and Wolfgang (although Uncle Wally left the show just a few years after Wolfgang's...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    This is by far, the very best Muppet project made after Jim's death. I loved it! Loved everything about it. It was great seeing Scooter with a speaking role, tho nothing will ever compare to Richard Hunt's Scooter. Still a pretty good match. The only thing that could have made it better, is if...

    Mr. Handford uses a pogostick

    Thought everyone would like to see this funny moment with Mr. Handford from 1992. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltFu9RNpKzM&fmt=34 This seems to be right before Telly gets his pogostick. I wonder if this episode is where they got the idea for that concept.

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    Another thing I noticed during these years is it seems to be when they did their first cutback of classic skits. Before this it was common to see a handful of old sketches from the 70's in the new episodes. But once 1993 came around, it got to a point where, you might get one really old skit...

    What year did you begin to loose interest in the show.

    I was just wondering, for those of you who stopped watching the show as much, not so much cause you felt like you were too old for it, but because things had changed so much it just wasn't the same street anymore? For me it was sometime between 1990 and 1992. When they started bringing new...

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    Another transitional change during these years, was the remodeling of Hooper's Store. In 1991 after 22 years of having the store having the same look inside with the red counter, the store was remodeled with a more modern look with a square shaped white counter, and gave it more of a new clean...

    Original Cookie Monster

    From what Iv'e seen in some old SS clips from Season 1. It seems like they were originally gonna have Beautiful Day Monster be the Cookie Monster. There was a few skits from that year where he actually eats cookies just like Cookie Monster does. I wonder what made them change their minds about...

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    None of Hunt's characters were in the opening credits. But after they changed the opening credits right after he died, and his characters stopped appearing on the show. It's funny how Richard's death and the absence of his characters coincided with the major changes of Sesame Street in the early...

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    I noticed that from 1991-1993 Sesame Street was going through somewhat of a transitional period. The old Harmonica music was still there, and so was the old worn down looking street set, but a lot was also being changed and revamped during those years. Like the opening and closing themes...

    The Official Barkley Fanclub :D!

    Actually, Barkley didn't become Linda's dog until 1987. Before that Barkley was just a dog on Sesame Street with no owner. The funny thing is, after Linda left the show 15 years later, Barkley's old status came back as a dog with no owner. :crazy:

    The reruns from 2 years prior. What were the limitations on what ones they could use?

    I don't think there were a whole lot of limitations on what episodes were reran. I remember seeing episodes reran with Olivia in them, even after she left the show. The same thing with Savion. They still aired reruns with him after he left the show in 1995. The funny thing is tho, they always...

    The Official Barkley Fanclub :D!

    If there's one thing I truly miss about Sesame Street is the closing they used to use, back in the 80's and early 90's with Barkley and the kids. I always thought it was unnecassary how they got rid of it.

    Old Inserts with Big Bird and Oscar

    Did any of you notice how years ago, I'd say before the Elmo's World days, they would often air sketches where the Muppets had a noticably outdated look to them? They often would do it with charachters like Ernie, Bert, Grover, and Cookie and the rest, since they were only seen in inserts back...

    Rumor: Abby gets own segment

    I hear what your'e saying Frogboy! Although there have always been minor changes on the show over the years. Like with the cast, the set, and charachters. For the show's first 29 years, they pretty much kept the same structure that worked for all those years. Once Season 30 came around it was...
