It was some time in the mid seventies. Actually, prior to the 80's, there were several street skits that involved Cookie Monster. Here are a couple of other mid 70 street skits with Cookie Monster: Cookie falls down, hits his head, and gets amnesia. Everyone thinks that cookies will...

There's also an old street skit where Big Bird wants to watch Mr. Rogers, but his television set is broken. Cookie Monster comes along and tries to fix it, but all he does is make a big cookie appear on every channel.

I think Mr. Rogers and Carol Spinny (and/or Jim Henson) just had different styles that they had to discuss before getting together. I think it would have been a big mistake for Carol Spinny to take off his Big Bird costume on television, at the same time, I'm not sure it would have really...

True. Even though I consider the eighties to be the last of the "real Sesame Street" era, one flaw was that there was almost total segregation of "street muppets" and "skit muppets". I think that was a big mistake since part of Sesame Street's magic was the feeling of "connectedness" among all...

Ah, yes! Those hand puppets were so cool! The original ones were made by Educational Toys, Inc. which was part of Topper Corp. The original Oscar came in a box that was shaped like half a garbage can. Cookie Monster's box had pictures of cookies that could be cut out and fed into a hole in...

They probably will sooner or later.

David and Alice definitely were. In a skit from the late 80's (after Snuffy had become known), David is serving Alice spaghetti. Alice keeps saying "less", but when David takes some away she cries. He then discovers that Alice really wanted "more", but she gets "more and "less" mixed up. He...

You must have really hated The Waltons.

One is the loneliest number.

Elmo himself was not a bad idea. It's what the producers have done with Elmo in the post-Henson era that has been over the top. I doubt if Henson's people said, "Let's create a new Muppet to take over the show." Many times actors or performers, who are not officially involved with the...

No, this was in the 70's. David worked for Mr. Hooper and often ran the store for him in the 70's. That's why David inherited the store after Mr. Hooper's death.

I could shock some of those Sesame Street producers. My digital camera broke last year and I got it fixed for less than the cost of a new one. If they had to replace the Fix-It-Shop, you'd think they would have replaced it with something related such as an electronic shop or something. I...

The irony is that in 1989, right after the 20th season, Bob McGrath was on a talk show, commenting on how much more advanced Sesame Street had become since its inception. He said that they've realized that children can understand more than the producers had originally believed. That was why...

Hi, Daffyfan2003. I worded it wrong. I meant that Orman had a goatee on his first season on Sesame Street. He got rid of it right afterwards. Here are the Sesame Street pages of the website (Some may take a while to download): http://www.angelfire.com/ab2/ablpph/17thpage.html...

It's curious that the "10 Little Indian" segment made the cut on Noggin. Noggin had edited a few other skits for content that could be considered controversial. The most notable was the deletion of the line "You sissy" from "Everyone Loves Ice Cream."

Ah, you've just mentioned one of my all time favorite Ernie and Bert skits that hasn't been shown for years. Actually, it's Ernie's turn to go to the store to get the newspaper; naturally he doesn't want to do it, but Bert insists. Ernie starts getting out things that he would never need. He...

I also believe that those Muppets of "Five People In My Family" were the exact same Anything Muppets used in the very first episode where Gordon creates a family. I think they were just changed around. The father became the mother, the uncle became the father, the mother became one of the...

Speaking of brick walls, remember the good old days when muppets skits were done behind a high brick wall? I wish they'd show more of those oldies but goodies.

It seems like the one who is "whining" the most around here is you, Drtooth. The rest of us are just stating our opinions. First of all, let's give the other characters FAIR competition with Elmo and then we can really see. Right now Elmo gets so much air time, it's like a one Muppet race...
