He was never shown on Unpaved. But the first episode that the Telly he was replaced with was. It was actually on the episode that aired last week. He was with some violinist, and he played his tuba while the man played his violin.
Okay, I did see that change, and it is very sad.
But this will help. The "Sesame Too" episode at 4 AM is from Season 25. But if you look at the schedule for next Monday at 4 AM, it does say Sesame Street Unpaved. This is exactly what I mean by "limited rotation." It's actually nice to know...
This episode also inclues that very old "Elevator 1-10" animation from Season 1 I just mentioned in another thread. That Season 31 episode was the first time it was used in 13 years.
I still think they should have the real Britney Spears! She would be great! And she has changed her image a little bit. I was told Aaron Carter is coming on, but I don't know when. But it will be this week, or next monday. We only have 6 shows left.
Telly actually got his name because when he first appeared in 1979, he was known as the "Television Monster", and "Telly" is short for television. I was told he had 2 antennas that stood up from his eyes, and his eyes used to whirl around when he watched television. The idea was that he was the...
The reason why Chris knows this is because he has spoken with the people at Sesame Workshop, and the people at Noggin, like Mary Parker, the woman who made the decision to do away with the old Sesame Street. He knows that Noggin doesn't like Sesame Street anymore, because they have to make room...
I remember there was another skit with his cousin, or sister, where Cookie offered his cousin every different kind of cookie that existed, and then it turns out that his cousin doesn't even like cookies! Interests and favorite foods don't always run in the family. Then Ernie came along with a...
Actually, as it says in the Unpaved book, Kermit the Frog was not named after Kermit Love, it's just a coincidence. Jim Henson named his puppet Kermit before he even knew Kermit Love, or anyone he worked with! Kermit got his name when Henson was in 8th grade.
I don't think those cows always had the same names, or even performed by the same puppeteers. I know that on the News Flash with the cow jumping over the moon, the black and white cow is named Natalie, and she is performed by Jerry Nelson in that skit. So it's kind of hard to tell with those...
Well, if you look at some of the very early Unpaved episodes, you will see that sometimes, they have the same sketches repeated IN the same show like 2 or 3 times.
And with Pledge Week, I have noticed they do that. It's usually the bigger PBS stations that do it. For example, I live outside...
Alice Snuffleupagus - still on occasionally
Benny Rabbit - 1998
Buster the Horse - 1994
Little Chrissy - 1993
Elizabeth - 2002
This is when they stopped being used regularly. Benny Rabbit made an appearance in Elmo's World about Teeth, and in B.B. King's Letter B Song in 2001. And Little...
I never thought of that. But once again, kids don't like those old characters anymore. They're too complicated, and outdated. And also, they don't really like to have all those minor characters, they like to stick with the main ones.
It was actually Christopher Cerf from Sesame Street who told me all those things. Because he used to work on the show, he was a major songwriter. He's the one who invented all those rock parodies, and he was Chris of Chris and the Alphabeats, and has sung many times on the show. But they never...
