Remember when T-Swift used to put out country music? That was 2008. Things changed considerably since then. There was a complete artistic and emotional 180-degree turn (the switch to pop music, the beef with John Mayer, break-ups) that resulted in her reaching out to a wider audience. I'm not...

This is a REALLY old thread, and I'm glad it's been resurrected. When I was younger (2-5), I loved Oscar, Ernie, Bert, and Elmo the most. Maybe it was because I had plush doll likenesses that I dragged around the house all the time. I was a fan of Elmo's World and all the E&B segments, and...

If I could work with any living Muppeteer, it would be Caroll Spinney because not only is he a genuinely gifted performer, but he also seems like a really nice person in general. He'd be easy to get along with and would tell great stories spanning his five decade career. If I could work with...

Let's keep this going... Uncle Deadly: “Just because I have a terrifying name and an evil English accent does not preclude the fact that, in my heart, I am a Muppet, not a Moopet!”

Any '90s kids out there? Here's a classic from No Doubt, an excellent pop-ska-punk band that I am now really into. I'm loving Gwen Stefani's passionate vocals, Tom Dumont's solid guitar work, and the powerfully tight rhythm section of Adrian Young (drums) & Tony Kanal (bass).

55! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 7: SAM the Robot tries to clean the street/Herry Monster and Oscar start a destruction company Sponsors: A, V, 7 Insert/Song: The cast performs “What’s the Name of That Song?” (Featuring David, Bob, Susan, Gordon, Maria, Bert, Herry Monster...

Interesting theory. Perhaps the factory was shut down in later years and was converted to a boarding-house for the Muppet letters and numbers. Notice how they kept popping up all over the street especially in the 1990s.

I was actually eating a burger as I read this! What a coincidence. Classic Sesame Street quote: Madeline: What do you have so far, Cedric? Cedric: Well he's big and yellow, sleeps in a giant nest, is eight feet tall, can't fly, and makes its own breakfast! Maria: Oh Big Bird! Somebody wants to...

So guess what...it wasn't too bad this winter, except for one day in February when it was basically zero degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 70 degrees, and it's still technically winter.

54! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 9: Oscar asks David and Luis to move things/Fred the Wonder Horse visits Sponsors: K, L, 3 Scene 1: Oscar asks Luis and David to help him move some things into his can. Luis and David are surprised that Oscar is asking them for help, and are...

Our very own Hooperfan has the street segments on his Youtube channel. Louise Gold plays Roxanne, and Jerry Nelson plays Cyranose (brilliantly, as he always did).

Not to mention, in the I am Big Bird film, there's footage of Jim at a party saying that Sesame Street's success was largely as a result of Caroll's performances as Big Bird and Oscar. So the respect was most certainly mutual.

53! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 6: Oscar wants to become an astronaut Sponsors: M, S, 6 Scene 1: At night, David closes up Hooper’s Store. He notes that people do a lot of things at night. He hears Bob practicing the piano (Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”), and he sees Maria...

52! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 10: Big Bird's lectures/Oscar loses his memory Sponsors: N, Y, 10 Scene 1: Big Bird tries to give a lecture on quiet, but various distractions prevent him from doing so. Luis hammers nails, Maria and David play basketball with the kids, Biff...

Ten of Oscar's Most Frequent Insults: Skinny (Maria) Mr. Badwrench (Luis) Curly (Gordon) Tenor Face (Bob) Smiley (David) The Overgrown Canary/Feather Brains (Big Bird) Worry Puss/Fur Face (Telly Monster) Mount Rushmore (Snuffy) The Little Red Menace (Elmo) Little Miss Fairy Wings (Abby Cadabby)

Harold Abrahams: And now in one hour's time I will be out there again. I will raise my eyes and look down that corridor, four feet wide, with ten lonely seconds to justify my existence. Chariots of Fire (1981)

Exactly. You can pinpoint sometime in the mid-1990s when Frank Oz returned to perform Cookie Monster, Grover, and Bert on a regular basis. Most of these skits have him performing either with Jerry Nelson (the Count, Mr. Johnson, Herry Monster) or Steve Whitmire (Ernie). Additionally, Sesame...

Oscar: Now we're gonna get ready to give the President an 11-gun salute. Maria: The President is supposed to get a 21-gun salute. Oscar: Not from me! Maria: Why not? Oscar: Because he only got 53 percent of the vote! He's lucky to get eleven. Why, even the Grand High Grouch only gets eighteen...

Remember Jack Be Nimble from the SS News Flash skit? He made a brief comeback appearance with Ruthie in Finder Keeper's...can you dig it? Plus Snuffy, Alice, Celina, Biff and Sully! Looks like season 25.

Apparently he only made a handful of appearances on the show. First one, he worked in Linda's library and later went on a picnic with Gina. Then came the appearance that I posted. So yeah...he was a REALLY short-lived character.
