I can think of a few Telly and Kermit scenarios, but they were mostly Brian Meehl's Telly. There was Telly trying to sell a headwarmer to Kermit, and another skit where Telly helped Kermit with a lecture by trying to find things that were the same about them. A "News Flash" scene involved Kermit...
It's been ages since I've seen that, but for those who remember it more clearly, is this correct? The Green Monster who played Beautiful Day's wife was the same Monster who was in the Monster's "A/'Ey!" skit - the one on the far right - without a wig. It was also in the Muppets Magic DVD in the...
It was the first season, but not the first episode. The claymation there was for "S". But it was on one of the Unpaveds.
Interestingly enough, there's a New York Times magazine article from 1970 (found on microfilm at a library near you) about the success of Sesame Street. There are...

The train to Spain was

Agents made a chase

If my fuzzy memory serves me correctly, there really isn't much detail to describe. The AMs were Fat Blue, Tall Orange and Dark Purple.
If you recall the A&E special where Bob sings "People in Your Neighborhood", the Fat Blue and Orange, apart from eyes and nose, they had no other facial...
Looking back, I wonder whether Herry Monster was developed as a relatively more acceptable version of Beautiful Day Monster. I consider this because the illustrated Sesame Street Story Book - in "The Boy, the Girl and the Jellybeans", Herry was the scary monster who appeared and ate the...
My basic theory of why that background was probably a way to save on $$$. And as Jim himself said, they initially figured the show would last a few seasons, at most.
Well, Richard was operating Herry and another monster at the same time, so they were both laughing at the same time - with a single voice. Anyway, Herry does in fact belong to Jerry, but in this case, he was already operating "Mr. Lucky" and Herry was just a face in a crowd of scary, destructive...
The horned monster was Richard Hunt and the light-blue monster was Jerry Nelson. Kind of fun that Jerry voiced both back-up singer and Frazzle for the same song.
