There has been much discussion about this topic. This thread here you might find helpful. The short answer to the Snowths is that they are Muppet Show Muppets, or at least not Sesame Muppets, because in the SS bit the background singers were two AM girls.

For more details and pictures of what I'm talking about, read what Phil wrote in this review of the upcoming DVD.

I do remember that. But it sounds more like the little bird doing the repeating was a parrot called Poco Loco (which is Spanish for "a little crazy".)

I noticed something recently. In a Friday episode shown in 1981, (I think) this being the episode where Fred Rogers pays a visit to the street, in the credits "Northern Calloway" as "David" was noticeably missing. Later on, of course, he would be back. I wonder if that was a season in which he...

Cookie Monster and Beautiful Day Monster were on the scene at the same time. In fact, there are some sketches where the two are even in the same shot. Both of them, however, originated before Sesame Street. Beautiful Day appeared in an Ed Sullivan sketch in which he does what he can do ruin...

In the song with Cookie Monster's that Parodies "Shaft" (I think it's called "Cookie Disco") who are the ladies who supplied the voices for the background singers? You know, He's shaggy, he's blue and he knows how to chew. COOKIE! I can pose a similar question to a song called...

I love most, if not all, of the scenes between Grover and Kermit. Usually any scene that starts with Grover's "Hey Froggie Babeeeeee!" *smack! on back* Among those, my favorite is Grover the Fireman, because both characters flipped out and played so well off each other. *Oh, Froggie is so...

I like the bit while Ernie tries to wait for Bert to finish reading his newspaper in order to ask him a very important question. He tries to be quiet and think about Bert's feelings, but he is very noisy doing other things like singing and talking to Rubber Duckie. Eventually Bert gives in and...

Are you sure he didn't put them on as a way to keep him warm? That's what I remember.

Another favorite is Kermit hosting a lecture on "clues". It ends with Beautiful Day Monster with an umbrella and a suitcase. He's not going on a trip and it isn't raining, the monster plans to eat the umbrella for lunch. Then what's in the suitcase? Ketchup.

One of my favorite skits is where Ernie successfully meets the challenge to clean up the apartment in 15 sec.

Tough call. I don't know what my #1 favorite Kermit skit is, but I have a soft spot for the skits from the first season. I'll be willing to say that "Kermit's What-Happens-Next Machine" is up there. My favorite song is "Bein' Green"... my fave being the scene originally done in 1969 in the...

That green Grover even existed before Sesame Street as one of the scary monsters. In an Ed Sullivan skit he was called "Gleep", and even though he was voiced by Frank Oz, he sounded more like Fozzie. In another instance, he was done by Henson.

If I really wanted to be pedantic and silly on the subject... :D Unless I miss my guess, that little pink monster might have started out as the smallest, but in one skit he grew to be the biggest...... although he was "matted" at the time. Likewise Cookie Monster did shrink to become the...

The Guy Smiley shaped Muppet also appeared in a skit on Ed Sullivan. I call the skit: "The Story of Amanda", though others call it "An Ugly Romance." Anyway, the Muppet was called a heartthrob called Conrad Love, who had Guy Smiley's face, nose, chin, but with different eyes and hair and he wore...

Arlene Frantic, that was. She and Bennett Snerf were represented as Anything Monsters in one skit and then as Anything Muppets in the other.

Hmmm.... Cowboy X is an animated character from one of the early Sesame "commercials"... isn't he? Anyway, I'd personally want to bend the rules and place him under "X", just so that poor letter would have something. Just my $0.01 (times are tough, you know). I never saw Charlie on...

It was a parody of "Get a Job", right?

Who played Elmo, or rather the Elmo-looking background monster in Monsterpiece Theater's "Me, Claudius"? It couldn't have been Richard, he was doing someone else. Could that have been Brian M?

I think Beautiful Day Monster was about as big as Herry. (That is, the big version, not the tiny finger-puppet version. :) ) Then probably Cookie Monster as the next biggest after those two.
