    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    Wow. That sounds pretty scary (the concept of the episode and the response it got). :o I think there could be an imaginary episode using the Wicked Witch street scenes, and the segments could be various scary Sesame Street segments, including Kermit's B-sound lecture with the Beautiful Day...

    What happened to good old Herry?

    That wasn't Herry's first appearance. His actual debut was in the skit where he and Cookie Monster sang about circles, and Jerry Nelson performed him in that one. The "Up and Down" song was originally recorded for an LP, with Jim Henson doing a generic monster. Then in the middle of Season 2...

    when was this orange anything muppet introduced?

    Also, it should be noted that the actual Ernie puppets have a red mouth with a built-in tongue. The Large Orange Live Hand Anything Muppet has a black mouth and can have a tongue added.

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    I know that Jerry Nelson usually performed Rodeo Rosie, but I heard that Richard Hunt also occasionally performed her (people on this thread remember seeing skits with her performed by Hunt). That would make her a pretty minor character if she has TWO Muppeteers. But I do remember seeing her in...

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    Um, Totally Spies Fan, the Monsterpiece Theater "Upstairs Downstairs" skit isn't from Season 8. It is actually from 1982, probably Season 13 or 14.

    Prairie Dawn

    Betty Lou usually appeared in early skits, performed by Frank Oz and Fran Brill. After that, she was mostly an extra in songs such as "I Want a Monster to Be My Friend," "Exercise" and "Listen to the Bells." She also appeared in many books. During the "Around the Corner" era, she was used as...

    Prairie Dawn

    It was a great idea to hire her. She sort of made history as the first female Muppeteer that Jim Henson hired (outside of Jane Henson, that is). Having a balance of male and female Muppeteers adds more to that whole womans' rights thing, and it also adds realism to it. And of course, in the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8afQWyYWmE Someone FINALLY re-uploaded another one of my all-time favorite Sesame Street News Flash segments! Note that it is in really high quality, and has NO Noggin logo on it! He must have gone deep down into the CTW archives or something! :D

    Some ways to improve Sesame Street

    That's right. They were in the test pilots. That's where the "Two Noses" skit comes from.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I actually made this clip myself. I meant it to be for my own personal enjoyment, but SOMEBODY snatched it from me and uploaded it to Youtube without MY permission! Needless to say, the old Viacom "V of Doom" logo plays as the Yakity Yakity Yak charges toward the screen...

    Main performers of silent characters

    It says on Muppet Wiki that David Rudman performed her.

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I take it you might have had some sort of fear of the Orange Gold Guy Smiley-type Anything Muppets due to your fears of the Spaceship Surprise Captain and Vincent Twice. You also mentioned that a lumberjack character mildly scared ya. I think that one was also an Orange Gold AM. Also, I think...

    Main performers of silent characters

    I think Velma Blank on "Squeal of Fortune" ("Sesame Street") was silent, but we know that David Rudman performed her.

    Hoots the Owl's eyes!

    Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

    Should the Around the corner set return for SS 40th birthday....

    Zoe debuted in 1992, the year they switched taping studios and the year they started using that crazy Calypso opening theme and the current closing credits. "Around the Corner" didn't come until a year later. Also, unlike other newer commonly-seen Muppets, Zoe is performed by one of the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Sawing14s uploaded the early 1970s Sesame Street News Flash about Kermit witnessing the Wolf chasing Red Riding Hood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1aAlg8_sTw I'm also surprised that Richard Hunt performed Red Riding Hood instead of Frank Oz. Normally in these News Flash segments Jerry...
