Ahem. This should help end your quest.

This should be a satisfactory explanation of the fate of these two. Ought to be, anyway. http://home.earthlink.net/~karenprell/id1.html

And lest we forget... "Joe", maybe this was a reference to Joe Raposo?

If my understanding is right, Frank Oz and Jim Henson are responsible for those.

The same! :)

Danny Seagran did a lot of silent full-bodied Muppets, usually on TMS, and in the background. He may have also been a gorilla in a skit about Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's Gorilla Detector, but I don't know for sure. Caroll Spinney also was Bruno. :)

Oh, yes, I remember that one well. That was one of those street insert skits so it was repeated a lot. The last two lines I think I remember: DON: I'm calling it "Buster's Song". BUSTER: (unimpressed) Thanks, I think. He also appeared in the 20th anniversary special in 1989, first pushing a...

I remember that one. It was cute. To this day, though, I still don't get the punchline. After the narrator asks "why are you knittin' a kerchief, a kite, ;) and a polka dot mitten?" the kitten replies, "Because it's Thursday." If anyone knows the reference or joke, if any, behind that...

This one I know is on the Getting Ready to Read video. I've also read that "Air" is on Sing-Along Earth Songs, but having never seen the video, I don't know if it's Bip's song, or Guy Smiley's. (My sup-er intuition tells me it should be Bip, because it is closer to the environmental...

Since no one mentioned this, I'll throw out this scary skit big-bigger-biggest skit. The one where the small pink monster grows from being the smallest monster on the scene to the biggest, and his loud yell scares the other two monsters away. It didn't scare me as a kid, but I found it...

On the "Sesame Road" cassette/CD, her song is "Grouch Girls Don't Want to Have Fun." Oscar sings in the background - off key, of course. Which reminds me.... Both Oscar and Grungetta have something called "The Off-Key Song", as entitled on Shalom Sesame, though most people who've heard it...

I think you'll find the answer you're looking for in the Caroll Spinney book, particularly in the section about Oscar's appearance on the Flip Wilson show. Other than that I can offer this totally bogus, fake, untrue explanation that I made up, which will probably be interpreted to some in...

Now, black hair, that's a different story. I remember that guy. "No rest for the weary! Har har har har!"

That's on my top two as well. That and the Falling Baker Films, starring Jim and Brian Henson. "Racing Cars Counting" is an okay name to give those cartoons. A lot of folks like to call them "Jazzy Spies", but there's really no one name to give them. Here are other favorites of mine: -"5...

"Just because"? :) Well, sometimes that's the only reason you can get.

Here's what I think it means: in some buildings, water pipes make clanky sounds when water passes thru, so when someone turned the faucet on in 123 Sesame Street Bert heard it. And whereas most people would be annoyed by the sound (it seems to happen most when you're trying to sleep), it was an...

Okay, I'll be the spolier. It was "R". But the end of the skit illustrates another example of how I would have loved to see the camera pull back so we could actually see Jim, Frank, Jerry and Richard performing this scene. I have a feeling it would look similar to "Sex and Violence"...

Ernie and Bert did a similar skit. (Was this among the last ones aired where Jim played Ernie?) Ernie carried the light things like a feather and cotton candy, and Bert got talked into carrying heavy things like a barbell, a rock and the piano. The last proved too heavy for Bert. *CRASH!* Ernie...

Captain Breakfast: Think of the Don Music/Guy Smiley puppet. Give him an upper row of teeth. Similar hair to Guy except brown. He might have had blue eyes, but I might be wrong. He wore a cape and a shirt with a picture of a cereal bowl. And he was played by Brian Meehl. As far as I know...

To this day, I still find something a little creepy about the cow "jumping" in the skit where Kermit reports on the "Hey Diddle Diddle" rhyme. Maybe it's the sound, or the very visible marionette strings. Or a combination of the two. :-)
