    Purple Hipster

    It looks like it was in the same vein as the "Visual Thinking" bit that was shown on the Muppets on Ed Sullivan DVD between Kermit and Grump.

    The Baker Falling Down the Stairs Series

    See, that's the guy I think is Kermit Love. Without his beard, of course.

    It can't be ... is it ... BOB??

    Totally off track, but he kinda looks like Jack Benny. :) Fingers crossed.

    Sesame Street Bloopers/Technical Difficulties

    I have a feeling that the puppeteers for that but was good ol' Jim, Frank, Jerry and Richard. Each operating two women AMs. I can't say for sure, but wouldn't that be fun to watch a behind the scenes of? I'm sure I can envision Frank's style with two of them - probably the astronaut and the...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I may be wrong, but I think there wasn't an H one per se, just someone punning about Lefty dealing "H", if you know what I mean. In the same vein, I wonder if Lefty ever tried to sell "E" or "X"? :) Bad Splurge. Bad, bad Splurge.

    Think of the Muppeteers...

    Here's some food for thought, and let's face it, it's different. I remember when my favorite Warner Bros. cartoon came on - I liked it enough to tune in (again), but it was getting tedious. One way to make it fun was to close my eyes/turn my head and pay attention to the background music. With...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I like to envision Jerry and Richard (who puppeteered those boys) mocking fighting during that scene. I like to imagine what it could have looked like if the camera pulled back and we saw the Muppeteers performing in that particular scene... just as was done during "Sex and Violence". What a...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    That was Cecille the Ball. And I should say that I didn't mean to suggest I didn't like the Orange Singing Carmen - I did, even though(possibly because?) it was creepy. Perhaps I would have not have thought it was weird if it was 2 dimensional cell animation, I just thought of that. I wonder...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    The Orange Singing Carmen was kinda creepy, particularly when she couldn't hit the right note on L'amour.... and that last sour note before her face came apart, albeit briefly and temporarily. :)

    Getting to know the Sesame Street Animators

    One of the animations I can recognize as Hubley is the polar bear who brandished the "EXIT" sign. Another is the "SToP" animation, where a bouncing "o" kept being told to stop.

    The Count, The Amazing Mumford, and the wedding

    I think in the early days of Sesame Street, there was usually just one different blank head for an Anything Muppet, one Fat Blue, Tall Orange, Pointy Headed Green, one base head for a Guy Smiley and so on. But over the years things change, and they must have found in their budget to make...

    You have this one easy... just call it "Slimey Lands On the Moon" or words to that effect.

    Sesame Street Character Questions Thread 2004

    I'm going out on a limb, but I'm going to say that was done using a split-screen technique, so Jerry, in effect was both of them.

    In Search Of: Orange singing Carmen

    I've often wondered if Jim Henson was behind that clip. It looks similar to the other stop-motion skits that Jim Henson produced, like "The King of 8", "The Queen of 6" and I believe, 12 rocks in the desert. Apart from anything else, it's funny, yet weird and kinda spooky. Very spooky, but in...

    What TV characters remind you of Muppets?

    I must be the only one I know who could think this. Here's one for Sopranos: Harvey Kneeslapper - Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano)
