I agree. The whole thing makes me want to leave. ;)

That's a good point. Those early books may have been the most complete presentation of the show in book form. Muppets, cartoons, human cast members, and incidental humans in films were all basically given equal time. If someone had seen these books before watching the show, they might have...

I checked out your site, Anthony. Great artwork! Wish I had that kind of talent! Cool!

Hi, Anthony If you're talking about the web site I posted the link to, I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. It was just a site I discovered while web surfing. However, I do have a site dedicated to my own toy collection. Some Sesame Street toys are featured and even a couple...

I love those books. I have "The Sesame Street Book of People and Things (I love the illustration of the street on the cover) and "The Sesame Street Book of Puzzles". They were lost books from childhood that I rediscovered in a thrift store.

If it ever did go off the air though, I would hope that they'd replace the time slots with reruns from first to last.

The skit was from the second episode and actually comes with five "acts". It starts out with Ernie trying to write the letter X and getting it wrong, but as he crosses out his mistakes, he unknowingly makes X's. Bert comes in and points this out to him and Ernie enthusiastically goes off to...

It's strange; I tend to remember that skit with Beautiful Day Monster, but that could just be my memory playing tricks on me.

Some might consider it a "street skit", but that wasn't really important for the point I was making.

I'm a Fantastic Four fan and the Thing has always been my favorite member, so it's kind of cool to see it being related to one of my favorite shows. As for Herry, I think he really always was sensitive, but he was often misunderstood by other muppets because of his gruff manner. I can...

Cookie Monster's original box came with some cookies to be cut out and put in his mouth. Oscar's original box was shaped like part of a garbage can. All of the original boxes had a TV set drawn on the back where you could cut out the screen and put the puppet inside. Ernie and Bert also came...

Oh yes, Roosevelt Franklin was created around the same time that those early ones were, but a little later came the Count and don't forget the Anything Muppet, which I would love to have. A Herry Monster puppet was created too. Somewhere along the line, Guy Smiley, Sherlock Hemlock, and Prof...

They did have an adult human character who could not read or write on at least one episode. The Two-Headed Monster was an interesting character. I always kind of felt empathy for them because their plight appeared kind of sad, maybe it's because there are a very small number of people in the...

Yeah, that cartoon kind of surprised me for its time. It seemed to border on scatological humor. LOL

Just to clear up a few minor errors: It was Ernie who called Cookie Monster a "filthy beast" and it was Ernie who got his cuppy-cakes stolen, not Kermit. I can see where memory could confuse Ernie and Kermit because their Henson voices were practically identical (and their personalities, when...

Oh, yes. I loved them. One reason Ernie might look different is because they made several different versions of them throughout the 70's and even somewhat during the 80's. The ones pictured are some of the earliest (possibly the earliest) that were made . I can tell because Cookie Monster and...

It is worth noting that in the first episode, Ernie called Bert a "grouch." "I'm NOT a GROUCH!" Bert replied. LOL

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

I never heard five monsters on the LP nor have I seen it on TV, but I do have a book from the 70's called "Five People In My Family" that has "Five Monsters In My Family" in the second half of it. It recites the poem/song. Were these the lyrics on the LP? "Well, I've got 5 monsters in my...
