    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    For five figures let’s say that’s about 24 dollars each. Kind of hefty, but the Palisades Zoot is over a hundred dollars.

    Did SesameStreet.org remove all classic clips from their site?

    I doubt Sesame Workshop really cares about their website, they are more focus on their YouTube.

    Could Between the Lions ever come back?

    You know what character was a fun, Arty SmartyPants. He's so weird, but funny.

    Didn't that video include C is for Cookie?

    What are you seriously talking about? Are you high as a kite!

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    Though that was the core character group for a while Elmo, Ernie, and Cookie Monster in everything. Plus you mentioning the Arby's ESC toys, Ernie got one and he didn't have any spoken lines.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    That is true, though it’s a huge responsibility and honor that performers like Steve, Eric, and Peter were able to take on the characters and make them stick for years.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    It's no surprise why Frank said Bert can't work as well for a solo character as much as Ernie.

    Didn’t Bert mention Ernie to help him?

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    I remember seeing a segment where Elmo scared the pigeons that Bert were feeding, it was okay. He wasn’t that mad compared to if Ernie did it.

    The first clip at least attempted to make the puppeteer match Frank’s vocals. The puppetry in the second one looks very mediocre.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    Even Frank Oz said that Ernie can work as a solo character, while on the other hand Bert can’t.

    I think I remember somewhere that Grover was the favorite of the writers like Joey. I could understand why they got a lot more leeway out of him say someone like Bert or even Cookie.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    The only other character you could use to eat the keys other than Cookie would be Herry. You mentioning Grover getting more mileage than Cookie reminds me of in CinderElmo, how Cookie after his post-monster scene, he was written out.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    I’m getting this information from how the audio quality and my sharp eye with puppetry skills to notice that wasn’t Frank doing his characters. There is a huge difference with recording and live

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    I don’t know what went down with Elmo in Grouchland or who puppeteer Cookie there. I know it wasn’t Frank, he only did voices and Bert’s scenes except the first one from what has been rumored.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    No, Rick Lyon only did Grover when he was a background player in the special. The Muppet wiki has the correct information on the Grover page which reveals that Steve and Kevin did him as well.

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    Frank wasn't available for CinderElmo, most of the time Steve and Kevin did the puppetry work of Frank's characters and Frank just did dubbing.

    Jim Lewis and Steve Whitmire start interactive Youtube/Discord channel CAVE-IN

    Billy been said Steve is one of the greatest puppeteers with hand puppets. So I don’t think they have any tension between one another
