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...

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

I think sometimes they just wanted to fill the windows with muppets and didn't always think about who lived where. It's actually been pretty vague where many of the other muppets, like Grover, Cookie Monster, Herry, etc., live on the street (assuming that everyone is supposed to literally be...

The funny thing is that I did feel a little embarrassed about watching Sesame Street when I was in my teens and 20's, but now that I'm in my late 30's, I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about it. LOL

I think that was just an inconsistency that they didn't think about. Now, on the Fisher Price Little People Sesame Street set, they had Gordon and Susan living on the bottom and Ernie and Bert above them.

I think Jim Henson really defined Kermit, maybe even more so than Ernie. Jim Henson performed Kermit before Sesame Street, he used Kermit to make the transition to the Muppet Show, Muppet movies, and appeared to be THE Kermit in so many ways. Kind of like Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy or...

I mustn't be too ashamed. I've got Sesame Street puppets hanging on the walls of my home for all the guests to see. LOL

Interesting. That would make sense. It turned Oscar into a sort of puppet/costume for live appearances. On a side note, Caroll Spinney once said in an interview that he really considered Big Bird to be a puppet and not a costume because he operated Big bird's head with his hand, and didn't...

That can't be it. David and Maria were never married and the show about divorce was originally planned to air around 1990, long after Maria and David had already "broken up."

That's true. It's been said that writing and producing was Matt Robinson's true career choice, and when he agreed to the role of Gordon on Sesame Street, he had no way of knowing how big Sesame Street was really going to be. After the third season, he may have realized that the show and the...

The explanation is accurate, bit it almost seems like the answer to whether Snuffy was "invisible" should be "no". I know it doesn't mean literally invisible, but I think a lot of people misunderstand and think that the adult humans couldn't see Snuffy. In fact, they simply never had the right...

I'm not so sure about that, Ilikemuppets; it might be against the rules to use degrading comments towards others or their ideas. I believe similar issues were addressed by moderators in the past. This is a private board and the people who run it don't have to allow people to say anything that...

There were two park skits where Bert was in an odd combination. One time it was Bert and Elmo. I don't remember the details, but I think it had something to do with Elmo making too much noise while Bert was feeding the pigeons. Then another time they had Bert and Simon Soundman in a park skit...

I think that was how it ended. They kept doing that as the scene faded out with some kind of parody line from "As Time Goes By."

"How To Be A Grouch" from 1976 is a delightful book. Caroll Spinney's artwork and writing is great and I've recognized the style in many other illustrated Sesame Street books. Caroll Spinney actually drew the picture of Mr. Hooper in the episode about Mr. Hooper's death. Other notable...

One reason Sesame Street may never end is because it has the luxury of just changing the cast as it needs to. Another show that seems to have an eternal life span because it has this same ability (as different as it may be from Sesame Street) is Saturday Night Live. Sitcoms or dramas (with the...

Oh yes, I remember that one. I always thought the trick photography at the end was cool.

Was it? I never saw her sold in the stores with Ernie and Bert. Mind you, I'm not talking about any Knickerbocker Sesame Street dolls (I know they made plenty Knickerbocker toys with different characters), but rather this particular style with a completely two dimensional face, having a narrow...

I remember the Ernie and Bert dolls I had as a child; they seem to be rather obscure. They were made by the company called Knickerbocker. They were basically rag dolls that could not stand and their facial features were just drawn on them, except for their ears. They also had removable...
