Not exactly a human, but there was a very old Ernie and Bert skit where Big Bird came into their living room. Big Bird stood up straight and put his head right through the ceiling. I don't remember the details of the sketch, but it had something to with Ernie bringing Big Bird in as part of a...

That's right. How could I forget? She was in there more than once.

Some characters like Grover, Ernie, and even Bert seem to vary from being children or adults.

If you count the 70's Sing Along in Ernie and Bert's bathroom, almost every human from that era was in the apartment. But, as far as appearing behind the "wall" in their traditional living room setting, Mr. Hooper is the only human who I recall doing that in "Christmas Eve On Sesame Street."

Has the Count ever been involved with a rendition of "Count Me In" by Gary Lewis and The Playboys? Every time I hear that song, I think of the Count, but I don't know if Sesame Street ever made a connection with it.

Refresh my memory. Was anyone actually working behind the counter at the store. It was after Mr. Hooper died and David wasn't in the movie. I seem to remember Grover there and looking like he was watching the counter, but I could be wrong. Yes, Follow That Bird was truly Sesame Street at...

There have been a lot of good Sesame Street toys and products throughout the years. I've already spoken about the cool Muppet puppets by Topper and the awesome Fisher Price Sesame Street sets. There was also a lot of great Colorform sets made by Sesame Street. My favorite is a very old one...

I LOVED that one! :)

No, I think you have the monsters exactly right. They sang a song about heavy and light while they were carrying the objects. There was also an older skit where Grover tries to demonstrate heavy and light by lifting a barbell and then lifting a feather. Unfortunately, the feather was heavy...

You know, I love the song "Clink, Clank" sung by Bert, but there's one line that I don't understand. The song is about Bert playing music with a can, spoon, whistle, pan, and marbles. So why does he say "It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on, But it lightened up my life like...

Everyone knows that underneath all of his grouchiness, Oscar has a heart of gold, but did you ever think there was a time when he took his grouchiness too far? One time I think he went too far was when Miles was first adopted and he slammed the door to make him cry and laughed about it. That...

Did you ever notice that in the famous skit where Bert has to wait outside while Ernie prepares a surprise party for him, there was no mention of a "birthday" or any other occasion. It kind of looked like a birthday party, but all Ernie said was a "surprise party." Maybe it was just for...

As a Mr. Potato Head collector, I now have a whole new fondness for that cartoon. :)

The very end of that skit is sometimes edited (presumably for time reasons). In the unedited version, after Ernie says that he was only kidding, Sharla mimics the laughs of Ernie and Bert.

They played an old skit with John John and Herry from the past and then a reunion skit with them in the present. Both John John and Herry looked pretty different today. But, while I understand that John John would naturally be a grown man after all those years, they never explained why Herry...

Even though street scenes on Sesame are usually considered to be sacred and unable to be aired after one or two runs, I have actually seen some street segments that were occasionally repeated several seasons down the line. One of them is a street scene where David gets Big Bird and the kids...

I don't think Linda is on the show anymore either.

On a slightly off topic subject, there was an old educational children's show in the 70's called "The Metric System" (When they thought America was going to convert to metric measures) that had a little puppet called "Inchworm." Inchworm was a villain on this show since he opposed the metric...

Just curious, why did you think it wasn't on Sesame Street?

Yeah, I don't think Kermit was counted as one of the Sesame Muppets to be excluded from Disney's purchase.
