Well, I heard that the rabbit in "Has Anybody Seen My Dog" was "Howie" whose voice appeared on a record. BTW, your mention of the talking balls brought to mind an old obscure skit with talking balls on a black background. They are trying to figure out if they have enough people to play...

Yes, I believe that is the actual year.

Oscar's appearance would be even easier to explain as it could simply be said that his fur was dyed orange at that time. As for Big Bird, I'm not sure the differences were dramatic enough to warrant a real explanation. True, he was thinner and dopier, but the essence was the same. Remember...

Where there's a will, there's a way. One possibility: They could only show scenes from 1969-1976 that did not have Gordon in them. Another possibility: They could show the different Gordons with the explanation that he was hanging around with the Amazing Mumford who kept changing...

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if they had the cartoons interacting with humans on the street like the Muppets did. They already had the technology to do that when the show started. I got this idea from a book about Sesame Street that had a picture of a street scene with the...

All I know is that Farley goes back to some VERY early Sesame Street years. I remember him in some vintage skits where Herry Monster still had a blue and furry nose. Farley's character was never really developed like some of the others, but he did become a familiar face in many Muppet skits...

There was an old cartoon about counting to 20 where an animated Cookie Monster appeared and ate the number 17.

The song parodies are cool, but I actually preferred the way they used to have the Muppets sing regular songs. In the early seasons, there were no changes in the lyrics, but they would invent crazy scenarios to go with then popular songs like, "Yellow Submarine", "Spinning Wheel", "Beautiful...

They should really make a second edition of the "Sesame Street Unpaved" book. For one thing, there are some new developments and characters on the show that need to be mentioned. Most importantly, however, they need to correct their mistakes. The new edition should mention Herbert Birdsfoot...

You must mean "Mr. HANDFORD and Gina". I don't remember this skit, but I do remember a similar one in the late eighties (Sadly, you can tell what era it's from because Northern Calloway does not look healthy) Don Music has his piano in Hooper's store. David tells him that this is not...

Pawns: Anything Muppets Castles: Oscar's Trash Cans Horses: Forgetful Jones and Buster Bishops: Bert Queen: Prairie Dawn King: Ernie

Bert was in Oscar's Trash Can at least two times. Once when he moved out from the apartment with Ernie and another time when he was trying to surprise Big Bird. :( :grouchy:

There were at least two Colorform sets that included some humans. One was a very old set from the early 70's that had Susan and the original Gordon on the canvas and you'd place colorform letters in their hands. Another Colorforms set was made later that featured the current Gordon as a...

I have to disagree about the Fisher Price Kermit the Frog. I think it's very well made and I bought one last year at the Fisher Price Toyfest. He has Velcro on his hands for a lot of poses. I also liked a Kermit stuffed toy by Fisher Price that had Velcro on his hands and feet. I haven't...

Does anyone else remember The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-And-Record Album? It's a big sing-a-long comic book to go with album. It's all the way from 1970. I had it new as a kid and now I have it old as an adult. It's really cool, although it's rather disjointed. The book begins and...

Actually, many people would not agree that a comedy sketch of a man falling down is "inappropriate" for anyone. The Lefty skits were actually very moralistic because he usually got the worst of it, proving that crime doesn't pay. I thought Don Music was pretty funny too and it's strange, but I...

Okay, everyone knows that for years, until the mid eighties, Big Bird and the human children knew that Snuffy was real and the human grown-ups didn't. But, what about the other muppets? Did they know about Snuffy? The history of Sesame Street actually has some contradictory information on...

Well, he didn't actually eat him, but he was trying to. Cookie kept trying to remember what he wanted in the bakery that rhymed with sky. He ate the baker's tie, the letter I, and then tried to munch on Guy, but he ignored the obvious, the pie. That is the only time I recall Cookie Monster...

Herry would accidentally break everything that Biff builds. Forgetful Jones would try to help Don Music think up lyrics, but he'd keep forgetting what they were, only to further frustrate Don. The Count and Amazing would battle for thunder. Ernie would drive Kermit crazy by playing...

Well, in a Sesame Street storybook, there was at least one illustrated story about the Count and the Amazing Mumford. In this story, someone has stolen the Count's thunder. After some investigating, it turns out to be the Amazing Mumford. According to this tale, the castles of the Count and...
