Number 113 is going to be the last outline I post for a while. I am finishing up school, and need to focus on my studies for the next three to four months. But I shall try to return in the summer with more outlines. Enjoy this one, where the cast tries to cheer up an angry Herry Monster...

Anyone else realize that Jerry Nelson has performed both Statler AND Waldorf? Jerry played Statler in the Muppets' Sex and Violence special, and again from 1993-2002. He also performed Waldorf (known then as P. Fenton Cosgrove) in a Muppet Meeting film from 1975.

Funny that LittleJerry92 just posted a Thomas-themed vid. Here's something that I found funny.

Honestly, I still am confused about which Muppet is Chrissy and which one is Richard. I have always thought that Rockin' Richard is the Lavender Muppet, and Chrissy is the Pumpkin Muppet. In "Telephone Rock," it sounds like Richard Hunt is performing the Lavender Muppet, and Chris Cerf voices...

Outline 112 features Biff and Sully, and Big Bird and Snuffy. Plus, Martha presents the letter M, the Anything Muppets sing the "Fat Cat" rhyming song, and David and Maria attempt to play ping-pong! Sesame Street Old School Outline 112 Season 8: Biff and Sully try to fix the bulb in the...

A double-header post! Here is outline 111, with a good twist ending (in my opinion, anyway). This one features Cookie Monster in a central role, and also features classic bits including "Mumford's Pillar Trick," "I Want to Hold Your Ear," and "Ernie Gets Bert to Warm Up." Sesame Street Old...

I first read about that one in the SS Unpaved book, which was a birthday present for me when I was five. I read it cover to cover and wore out the binding, so my parents bought another copy for me the following year. Years later, I was scrolling through the SS episode listings on Muppet Wiki...

If I'm right, this might have happened in two bits for the letters N and O. In the first one, Super Grover intervenes, but is too exhausted to do much good. Cookie Monster says, "Maybe you need a nap!" So Super Grover asks Cookie to hold the cookie while he lies down, with predictable...

These days, it isn't rare for Oscar and Big Bird to be in the same scene. But in the 1970s, it seemed pretty rare. I think that it started happening more frequently in the 1990s. According to Caroll Spinney in the SS Unpaved book, he talked about using dual-channel stereo technology to record...

I've noticed that many SS characters have rarely mentioned other characters with whom they share a performer. It's obvious that these characters don't share scenes together very often, but still...back in the day, it was rare to see pairings like Big Bird/Oscar or Biff/Herry Monster in the same...

Here's a milestone outline. What makes this one so special? Not only is this number 110, but it is also a Season 2 episode outline! Featuring Matt Robinson as Gordon, and appearances by rare characters including the pedantic Herbert Birdsfoot, the monotonous Professor Hastings, and the...

Here's how I break it down: Gordon: the original fatherly figure and voice of reason, an integral character that has been part of the show since day one. Nowadays, Alan seems to have taken that role, after 20 years on SS. Susan: the original mother figure, especially for Big Bird in the first...

Right now, I'm doing ONLY outlines from Seasons 3-10, which would all take place in the 1970s. Perhaps I might do outlines from the 1980s or 1990s in the future, but it's unlikely. If anyone would like to see some of my additional Sesame Street-themed work, check my "Jesse's Girl" thread and...

To clarify for people who are new to SSOSOs (Sesame Street Old School Outlines), I started writing these nearly four years ago after watching the episodes from the Sesame Street Classics series on iTunes. Being an avid fan of 1970s Sesame Street, I wrote a couple and decided to keep plowing...

Number 109 details the final day of the New Mexico visit! Plus, Bert asks Ernie about string, Madeline Kahn duets with Grover, and lots of classic Sesame Street cartoons: Billy Jo Jive, Pinball Number Count, Typewriter Guy, and Wee Willie Wimple! Sesame Street Old School Outline 109 Season...

Floyd: Hey Dudley, is it okay if me and my friend come in? Dudley: Yeah, sure! (notices Animal panting heavily) If this is your friend, I'd hate to meet your enemies. ----The Muppet Show, Episode 407

Number 108 details the fourth day in New Mexico! Plus, Grover pitches a weather machine to Kermit, Judy Collins sings about fishermen, and old-school Muppet legends Simon Soundman and Roosevelt Franklin are featured. Sesame Street Old School Outline 108 Season 10: New Mexico, 2.0 Day 4...

A brief collection of Statler and Waldorf quotes over the years... Statler: Every week this show looks better to me! Waldorf: Every week, your eyesight is getting worse! Waldorf: Well, this was a show to remember! Statler: Why is that? Waldorf: Uh, I forget! Statler: Are you ready for the end...

My favorites are Learning About Letters, Play-Along Games and Songs, Monster Hits, Sing Yourself Silly, and Rock and Roll. Some brief tidbits about each one: Letters was probably the first SS VHS I saw. The standout segments were Lena Horne's alphabet song, Monster Meal, Kermit draws an M...

Billy Joel: This next song was written in 1975, when I was still living here in Los Angeles. [crowd roars] I like doing this song...because it reminds me of what an ***-hole I used to be! [everyone laughs] This is called "The Entertainer!"
