    I have been wondering lately. As I've constantly looked at episode pages on Muppet Wiki, I have noticed that it seems like Noggin didn't really show very many episodes that feature Sesame Street's most famous songs of all-time, including Rubber Duckie, I Love Trash, C is for Cookie, ABC-DEF-GHI...

    when did it start becomming common to remake songs?

    At what point did it start becomming really common for Sesame Street songs to be remade? It seems to me like it's been really common since at least 1998. Of course, during the early years there were songs that got remade, but not as often as now. During the early years it seems like there...

    Lew Zeland's Fish Resturaunt

    It was a typical day at the Distinctive Fish Resturaunt. By "typical", I mean slow, boring, and not a fun place to work at. The resturaunt only got an average of 10 customers per day, usually because they couldn't afford anything else. The resturaunt owner, Frank St. Knarf, was looking at...

    I know that Richard Hunt eventually stopped performing Sweetums, sticking to just the voice, but does anybody know when he stopped performing from inside the suit? It seems like Sweetums wasn't used much during the 1980s. I only know of two Muppet Show episodes from the last season that...
