You know, my friend lent me TMS Season 1 DVD and we noticed that there was a pouch on the left side. But what was it for? It looks like a place where a booklet should be, but none was included. I don't think this was unique to his set; I wonder what the deal with that is. :confused:

I've noticed that the couple of times Ernie and Bert were on the Muppet Show, Bert was usually the one to get center stage. In the Muppet Pilot, "Sex and Violence", Bert and Kermit were the only official Sesame Street muppets shown and "Ernie" is just a female version for a gag. Then on the...

I've read that on early episodes of The Muppet Show, Fozzie's character was not very interesting and it was only in the second season that his personality was really developed. Funny though, I would have never thought that myself. I thought he was great from the very start. In the very early...

I've seen it mentioned on here and the Muppet DVD that the short lived "tradition" of brining a muppet-likeness of the human guest star at the end of the show was only done in the first two produced episodes. However, I don't recall reading an explanation as to why they stopped doing it. Some...

I was really surprised when I first saw that a modern Sesame Street character had a pet rock. The Pet Rock was really all the rage for a brief time in the 70's, but then quickly went out of style and is viewed as something really weird today. As much as Sesame Workshop worries about staying up...

Here's a scenario I created with an old Ernie and Bert Colorform set. Just click the link below to see it. (There's also a "blooper" in my picture. Can you identify it?) http://www.angelfire.com/ab2/ablpph/sparepage.html

My main focus on this board is Sesame Street because it played such a special part in my childhood, but as a child, I watched and enjoyed The Muppet Show too. Now that my friend has lent me the First Season DVD set of The Muppet Show, I'm remembering how good it was and how much I loved it. I...

This may be pushing the definition of "puppetry" a bit, but I do think this could be considered a puppet of sorts. It's a trick I used to do in school. (Note: Some of this involves sharp stuff, so it should only be done by an adult old enough to know what they're doing). First, you take a...

Here are some descriptions, from the CTW's Promotion and Publicity Resource Guide. of some of the more popular muppet characters who were around in 1994: "Bert" Bert is the long suffering, serious and often eccentric sidekick to Ernie. The straight man of the team, he seems the older of...

In 1994, I wrote to the Children's Elision Workshop (that's what it was called back then), asking if there was a way that I could view old episodes. Naturally, I got the stock answers of why they couldn't do that, what was already available and blah, blah, blah. However, they also sent me an...

You know, through the years on Sesame Street various "one-time" muppets have popped up, but they all seemed to have the classic Anything Muppet look and seem like they could have appeared other times in different forms. However, in the very early skit, "A is for Adorable" where an unknown...

This web page has great pictures of vintage Sesame Street puppets that were made in the 70's: http://thedarkmask.com/sesame/sesame_street.htm

One old episode of Sesame Street almost seemed to imply that there was a potential romance between Bob and Molly the Mail Lady (remember her?). In this episode, Molly gives Bob a letter and coyly tells him that it's an invitation from a friend. At first, Bob is angry because he thinks Molly...

For those of you who have access to a clip or picture of the old skit where Kermit tries to get brown Grover to go into a box inhabited by a larger monster, take a good look. Examine the flower shaped designs on the pink box in the skit. Now, take a look at the very beginning of one of those...

This was a great book from 1974 with illustrated Sesame Street stories for every letter of the alphabet. Some stories were longer than others. Some of these illustrated stories may have been reprinted in the Sesame Street Treasury, mentioned in another thread. I don't know if any of the...

Professor Hastings was an early muppet that I knew well as a child and I remember noticing when he stopped appearing on the show. Yet, I can only recall two skits that he was in, the one where he was a contestant on "What's My Part" and a musical segment with the song "Spinning Wheel." I don't...

Does anyone remember the animated version of Jack In The Beanstalk from 1975? It was a Japanese movie, but an English version was released in America. It was also a musical with magical songs such as "No One's Happier Than I". Although the movie is based on the classic fairy tale, there are...

Today I was lucky enough to have a friend give me a "Follow That Bird" record album. The album cover is pretty cool in itself with a lot of pictures and drawings from the movie, and even a Sesame Street game. Curiously, no pictures or illustrations of the Sesame Street human cast are on the...

Have you ever found it interesting that the early Sesame Street albums, like Sesame Street 1 and Sesame Street 2, advertised their records as having the "Original Cast" when at that time, they were the ONLY cast? Of course, the distinction that they were making then was that it wasn't different...

I'm not even sure if I'm spelling it right, but King Marty Moot Mope was more concerned about rhyming than spelling anyway. I was wondering if anyone remembered the ORIGINAL lyrics to the skit with Marty Moot Mope and Same Sound Brown from the early 70's. The reason I specifiy, "original" is...
