There was a story in a Sesame Street magazine (I don't know if it was ever acted out on the show) where Susan tells Cookie Monster not to get near the pie she just baked. Cookie asks what "near: means and she says "close." Of course, Cookie Monster goes close to the pie, eats it, and Susan is...

Thanks filling in the blanks, Xerus. I really loved that one.

Similar problem with Hopper's store; all of these disasters seem to leave permanent results these days. Funny, though, in the 70's, Cookie Monster ate Hooper's Store all the way down to its bare interior, yet on the next episode, the store was back in tact as if nothing had ever happened...

Season one. :)

There seemed to be a period of time when Bert collected both paperclips and bottle caps. In the skit where Ernie paints Bert with a beard and mustache, Bert screams that Ernie ruined his whole day because he could have been out collecting his paperclips, his bottle caps... Also, Bert has had...

That's a rare and classic E & B skit. It's also one of the few skits where Bert comes out ahead.

Unfortunately, that's one that I never had, but I do know of the one you're talking about. I'm guessing that they used Velcro.

There is a very early version of Herry Monster in which he had a furry blue nose (when he faced the camera, it looked like he had no nose at all). I'm not certain that he goes back to the first season though. Herry Monster is in "The Together Book" that was originally published in 1971. These...

Well, Barkley was Linda's pet, so if she's not on the show anymore, I guess he would not be on either.

That's not popular opinion. It's just a point of view held by some, but to quote Dilbert, "When did ignorance become a point of view?"

Oscar and several other "Muppet puppets" were relapsed in 1971 by Educational Toys, Inc. which was part of Topper Corp. I believe that these were the very first Sesame Street puppets that were distributed on the market. Cookie Monster was sold in a box with cookies printed on the side that...

LOL! I don't remember if he was supposed to be making a delivery for Mr. Hooper, but that is a very funny thought. :) And yes, many songs had to be modified for records because of visual gags. Then again, even songs that could have remained the same were often altered from television...

For that matter, where are Grover, Herry, Cookie, Telly, Prarie, and other muppets supposed to be living?

Well, in the Sesame Street set there was only two stories to that building. Maria and Luis had not gotten together yet when it was made, nor were there any Little People versions of them that were created, although they did have a picture of Luis in his Fix-It-Shop on the side. All of the...

Yes, David walked along the street with a pizza and kept losing pieces as he carelessly held it by his side. This was in the mid seventies.

Although most people know Sonny Friendly as the smiling purplish muppet of the 80's, the name originally belonged to the muppet called Guy Smiley. In very early Sesame Street skits, the same muppet used for Guy Smiley would also be introduced as Sonny Friendly. I had almost given up talking...

To make matters even more confusing, the Fisher Price Play Family Sesame Street set put Ernie and Bert's apartment on the top and Susan and Gordon's on the bottom.

Actually Roosevelt Franklin was the TEACHER at his school. It was never clear how he got to be the teacher (or for that matter got a school named after him) since he seemed to be around the same age as his students. I always figured that he was so smart, he probably got to advance all the way...

I love that early skit. Many things are interesting and unique about it, including the way they give words to some letters of the alphabet, but just skip through several other letters without using words for them. I've also wondered where the male Anything Muppet came from and what happened to...

It should also be noted that there were several Harvey Kneeslapper skits in which his practical jokes backfired. Harvey was actually in a street scene with Molly The Mail Lady. He put confetti in her mail hat, but Molly (innocently) put that hat on Harvey's head. An angry Harvey goes away...
