Interesting observations, Ziffel. I seem to remember Bert interacting with Farley in one skit, but I could be wrong. The only time they seemed like they tried to add a "third man" to the Ernie and Bert team was in the very early years, when Cookie Monster (or Beautiful Day Monster) would...

Farley goes back to some very early years, has been in some good skits, and has even been on some Sesame Street records. Yet, somehow, it seems like he never quite made it to the big times of Sesame Street muppets. Not sure why. I'm not certain of when his last appearance on the show was or...

The idea of baby versions of the Sesame Street muppets is not entirely new. There already has been a line of toys with baby versions of the characters (especially Elmo, Big Bird, and Ernie) for several years now, but this may be the first time that these baby characters actually performed in a...

A lot of people also mistakenly think that "Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood" is a song by Mister Rogers instead of Bob on Sesame Street.

I think the Count's castle is actually supposed to be on the street. When Big Bird and Snuffy had a race, they said that they were to go past the Count's castle. Also, the Count makes references to "Old Transylvania" when he's in his castle and he once said that when he lived in Transylvania...

In fact, I never really thought that Guy Smiley actually lived on the street. On his game shows, they'd always introduce familiar characters as "Cookie Monster from Sesame Street" or "Grover from Sesame Street", implying that Guy Smiley's game show (and probably Guy Smiley too) was in in a...

Cookie Monster seemed to know Santa's phone number. So, if he had gotten involved, all he would have had to do was give the number to Big Bird or the kids so they could call and ask the chimney question.

Kermit said that he was going to "round up some of the guys" to find out the answer. So, Grover was supposed to be one of them. As far as where Ernie and Bert were at the end, come to think of it, it's not that strange. They could have been visiting with Bob, either because it was Christmas...

I grew up in a family of smokers, but I've never smoked cigarettes. I do occasionally smoke cigars, but it's very rare and I think that whatever pleasure I've gotten out of them is starting to dwindle. Speaking of smoking, does anyone remember the catchy anti-smoking song that used to come on...

Is Muppet Central a no smoking forum? :zany:

I have to admit, I'm happy about that last statement. If I had my way, Daylight Saving Time would be all year round. But, alas, today is the day I, like everyone else, must fall back. :(

Yes. It's a very good album that really highlights Northern Calloway's singing talents. Although he introduces himself on the album as "David from Sesame Street" and makes some references to other characters from the show, it's really not a typical Sesame Street album. The songs he sings are...

Look at Big Bird. He was on the show the whole 35 years, but he's only six years old. LOL

In Follow That Bird, Oscar brought Maria to some kind of grouchy diner too.

Well, whenever I get to see pre-1990 episodes of Sesame Street, I still thoroughly enjoy them. So, I definitely didn't outgrow it across the board.

Look at the grouch calling the frog green. LOL

Well, I think the implausibility was part of the humor. But, yes, the storylines did seem to get more and more implausible as time went on. Running out of ideas to the old joke (as well as thinking that the joke was responsible for all the child abuse in the world) were their main reasons for...

That was another interesting thing. It wasn't just Big Bird who knew Snuffy was real, but all of the human kids on Sesame Street too. That should have tipped the adults off a little bit. It's one thing to think Big Bird has an imaginary friend, but all the kids on the street having the SAME...

Sorry. Technical difficulty. That message was not meant to be here.

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...
