    Which Unpaved was last week?

    Assuming that "Sesame Street" is still being shown on Noggin, whether every week or every two weeks, what was the episode that aired last week... The morning after Mother's Day? I wonder if they chose an episode with a Mother's Day flavor to it.

    Best and Worst Sesame Guest stars

    Caroll didn't mention the rapper by name. He did mention that the rapper was never invited back. Come to think of it, I wonder if they even completed or aired the skit.

    Songs of Joe Raposo

    Didn't he do one called, "What Do You Do When You're a Kangaroo"? Joe had a voice in "I Am A Fine Musician" song - the trombone verse. It's also been stated in Muppet Central that he also was the voice of the unnamed Cookie Monster in "Everyone Likes Ice Cream". (It sounds plausible enough.)

    SSE: Sesame Street Songs

    Yes, this is true. I found it kind of cute that his spoken voice was Jim Henson, sounding like Rowlf, but his singing voice (prerecorded of course) became Jerry's. I want to be able to do that, to have my singing voice become Jerry's --- because he can really sing, and I can't. :)

    Sesame Street Unpaved Episodes

    You can hear the English version on the CD-ROM Sesame Street Numbers. It's part of the "radio show" users hear when they choose to listen to the radio.

    The Don Music Appreciation Thread

    I don't know which Muppeteer could have successfully replaced Don Music. The voice? That could be done. But the voice and the personality? Harder act to follow. Richard threw himself into that role.

    Whatever happened to Roosevelt Franklin?

    I find it interesting that Matt did come back at some point to record with Roscoe Orman (the current Gordon) as Hard Head Henry. Which brings me to something I've often pondered: there was a Roosevelt Franklin School scene in the Stevie Wonder episode, during the time Hal Miller would have...

    The Don Music Appreciation Thread

    The great thing about Don Music is that you can apply his bit to almost any song, even in popular culture. Here's one: "You're so vain.... you think this song is about..... you think this song is about..... er..er.. this song is about.... Oh, I'll never get it! What is this song...

    Fat Blue? His most favorite song? If we're talking about Fat Blue who was the victim of Grover, I'd be amused if he had any song. :)

    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    That's a good question, I've often wondered that. Especially since Jim used a lot of his monsters used in the first year of SS: Beautiful Day, Green Grover, an unnamed Cookie Monster, that dragon/dinosaur thing "in the box", ..... Splurge. :D I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, like...

    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    Awww..... well I can understand his being scared of the 1969 Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. That's a pretty freaky, crude looking thing with an eerie voice. At least the one on the Muppet Show is cute..... well, cuter.

    Sesame Street Encyclopedia Update

    Re: Re: Guys, One more thing I should mention if this description doesn't suffice: the monster in question also appears in the background in Cookie Monster's "Me Gotta Be Blue", found on the "I'm Glad I'm Me".

    Sesame Street Encyclopedia Update

    Re: Guys, Mona, Inrid, et. al. are designed on what looks like the Fat Blue Anything Muppet, only it is more sky blue rather than the usual navy blue.

    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    Just a speculation, but probably just an Anything Muppet who didn't have a name. If he did have a name, he was probably just called "Mahna Mahna". He's kind of scary - but a cool kind of scary.

    Remember THESE Herry Monster appearances?

    I believe in the TV version, the monster in the story was Beautiful Day Monster, but I'm not sure. In the storybook version, of course, the monster was Herry.
