Thanks. I know Disney owns the Muppets, but you never know... ;)

When Nickelodeon aired "Muppet Babies," they never showed the original ending tags. They always used the same stock ending tag after the credits (which were usually the 1986-1989 credit sequences). Here is what happened in this tag: The Muppet Babies except for Animal were at a table in a fancy...

Cookie Monster is what they call a Live-Hand Muppet. Ernie and Rowlf and Fozzie and Dr. Teeth and Herry Monster are also Live-Hand Muppets. Also, any character made out of the Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet or was originally made out of that Muppet pattern (Count Von Count, The...

Yeah. Herry Monster is still around. He was in last year's Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade. So I'm sure Jerry Nelson could still perform him (along with the Count). This would be impossible, but I'd also like to see new Monsterpiece Theater segments! Frank Oz or Eric Jacobson could perform...

A-whoops, duplicate post. :o

Actually, Lord Chatterly, the host of Alphabet Chat, was performed by Jerry Nelson, like many Large Lavender Live-Hand Anything Muppet characters (The Count, The Amazing Mumford, Biff the Construction Worker, etc.) A long-time Muppet fan soon gets to recognize most of the Muppeteer voices. In...

That's funny! I think for the part with the big count and flying numbers, it should go like... "1... 2... skip a few... 99..." then the "100" will start that infinity-zoom thing. A "3" "5" and "8" will fly past during the "Skip a few" part. Then for counting the 100 things, it will also go...

There's an old 1960s cartoon by Rankin-Bass (the people that made "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and all those Christmas specials you see on ABC Family) called "Tales of the Wizard of Oz." Socrates the Strawman reminds me of Ernie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjyv_i0tBSk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbZEqOTRtm8 The Elves and the Shoemaker... another special report covered by Kermit the Frog. The user who put this up says it's from 1976. Actually I'm pretty sure it's from 1979, according to Muppet Wiki. That's when Marylin Sokol did more performing on the...

A slight parody of the old Sesame Street episode where Elmo wants to be like the Count, but with a funnier character choice! ELMO WANTS TO BE LIKE DON MUSIC The setting is on the Street. Don Music is playing a piano and trying to write a song as Maria and Gordon watch. Elmo is watching...

How about a song about the new-style crosswalk signals without words? They've put them up everywhere in New York City (I went there last month, and no I didn't do anything Muppet related :( ). They could have a song about "The Hand and the Man" or a lecture about them by one of the characters...

Here's my contribution to the Harvey Kneeslapper trend here. This was really fun to write! :D HARVEY KNEESLAPPER: GHOST COSTUME We see Harvey Kneeslapper giggling hysterically behind the famous brick wall setting. He is holding a white sheet. Harvey: Hee-hee-hee-hee… oh, hi! Harvey...

I was wondering, which is your favorite male Muppeteer in doing female characters? Almost every male Muppet performer has done at least one female character, I noticed. Well, I like Frank Oz's female Muppet voice best. Usually it's heard on Miss Piggy, but it's also heard whenever Frank...

I once saw that skit with the opening titles and announcer. They must have tacked it on in later years or something. Also, I believe the skit was made around 1989 or early 1990 before Henson's death.

Yes he did. This was the last time the 1971 Sesame Street News Flash theme (written by Joe Raposo) was used in a new segment, despite having a different title card (it wasn't the cloud/lightning one we all know). All other new Sesame Street News segments started with Kermit in front of a desk as...

I hate to say this, but several of the dates are actually wrong for the skits. Here are correct dates for some to my knowledge... Sesame Street News: Rapunzel (1971) Sesame Street News: The Pig's Straw House (1971) Sesame Street News: Christopher Columbus (1971-1972) Sesame Street News...

Another News Flash made during the waning days of the skits was "The Princess and the C."

Oh thank you! That really helps a lot! :D

Hey, this has been bugging me for some time, and I'd like some help. I couldn't find a pic of this character or any info on Muppet Wiki, so here is how I will describe her... She was a female Muppet (a female Fat Blue Anything Muppet, for that matter), and she had on a hard-hat and did...

This seems to be a popular thread. Let's see if I could contribute... When I was really wee, I used to find the Sesame Street News Flash title card a little unnerving, maybe cause of the black background and high-contrast colors and Jerry Nelson's announcer voice. (Since I was born in the...
