    Does anyone here know the animation company responsible for that rain story?

    Oscar's Softer side

    Big Bird once said Oscar had a "heart of stone". This was on Hollywood Squares. :)

    Character pairs with no chemistry

    I can think of a few Telly and Kermit scenarios, but they were mostly Brian Meehl's Telly. There was Telly trying to sell a headwarmer to Kermit, and another skit where Telly helped Kermit with a lecture by trying to find things that were the same about them. A "News Flash" scene involved Kermit...

    Sesame Street Week

    Maybe it can be. Only if at the restaurant you go to has a singing baker who slips and falls while trying to hold up 10 chocolate layer cakes. :)

    The Mr. and Mrs. Game

    It's been ages since I've seen that, but for those who remember it more clearly, is this correct? The Green Monster who played Beautiful Day's wife was the same Monster who was in the Monster's "A/'Ey!" skit - the one on the far right - without a wig. It was also in the Muppets Magic DVD in the...

    The Mr. and Mrs. Game

    I do remember that sketch vaguely, but had no idea what the game show was called.

    This thread is brought to you by the letter U!

    It was the first season, but not the first episode. The claymation there was for "S". But it was on one of the Unpaveds. Interestingly enough, there's a New York Times magazine article from 1970 (found on microfilm at a library near you) about the success of Sesame Street. There are...

    Anyone remember this old Mumford skit?

    Yeah, in that moment, the platform and Grover were done in chromakey, or blue screen/green screen, matted, whatever it was called then. And during that time it was usually painfully obvious when something was matted on screen.

    The Count needs help!: Part IV

    If my fuzzy memory serves me correctly, there really isn't much detail to describe. The AMs were Fat Blue, Tall Orange and Dark Purple. If you recall the A&E special where Bob sings "People in Your Neighborhood", the Fat Blue and Orange, apart from eyes and nose, they had no other facial...

    Beautiful Day Monster

    Looking back, I wonder whether Herry Monster was developed as a relatively more acceptable version of Beautiful Day Monster. I consider this because the illustrated Sesame Street Story Book - in "The Boy, the Girl and the Jellybeans", Herry was the scary monster who appeared and ate the...

    Hey, I guess Herbie is a fun name to use. :)

    1969 backdrops

    My basic theory of why that background was probably a way to save on $$$. And as Jim himself said, they initially figured the show would last a few seasons, at most.

    MR.Lucky

    Well, Richard was operating Herry and another monster at the same time, so they were both laughing at the same time - with a single voice. Anyway, Herry does in fact belong to Jerry, but in this case, he was already operating "Mr. Lucky" and Herry was just a face in a crowd of scary, destructive...

    MR.Lucky

    Yeah, Frank was two and Richard Hunt did the other two. One of the ones Richard did, interestingly enough, was Herry, but only laughing.

    The Frazzle Song question

    The horned monster was Richard Hunt and the light-blue monster was Jerry Nelson. Kind of fun that Jerry voiced both back-up singer and Frazzle for the same song.
