When they said it's going to be the last season taped on that set, that might mean that after this season they will probably switch studio facilities. A similar thing happened in 1992. That's why they added that crazy calypso theme.

I'm sure many of you heard of a really scary "Sesame Street" episode from 1976 (episode 847) that had the Wicked Witch of the West in it (played by Margaret Hamilton). It was SO scary, CTW had to ban it after its initial airing! I wonder if they showed any of the scary "monster" skits or...

Again, I still hope that the opening theme isn't going to be a drastic change as that "Calypso" theme was. :attitude: But I'm glad they are going to do a new closing sequence. And I think Season 39 might actually just be switching studios, like in 1992. That's why we got that crazy new...

Thanks, everybody! :D

I didn't know they had a SPANISH News Flash logo! :D

That's because the Muppet Babies walk-around costumes for that show were designed by the Jim Henson Company! The others resemble how they appeared in "I'm Gonna Always Love You" in "The Muppets Take Manhattan," as well as on "A Muppet Family Christmas."

Also, starting with Season 30 (1998) when they began re-making the classic Sesame Street theme and introduced "Elmo's World," the full closing credits would also appear on the season premiere episode. This was done until 2003. I also hope they stop using that 1992 calypso-style music that is...

All the Muppet Babies Video Storybooks featured live puppet footage with Kermit (appropriately performed by Jim Henson) reading and narrating the stories, which were illustrations taken from the books with some partial computer FX added. The stories were also scored with actual Muppet Babies...

I agree that the 1992 credits theme is now somewhat outdated. And I know that when they changed the opening sequence and theme music in 1998 (they did a classic-style intro with Big Bird and the kids playing in Central Park) and added "Elmo's World", they kept using the same 1992 closing, but it...

I hope this new theme will be slightly similar to the old themes, like the 1998 and 2002 openings, and not a total drastic change like the 1992 "Calypso" theme. :concern:

I finally get to hear Ernie's old voice!

Wow. That sounds pretty scary (the concept of the episode and the response it got). :o I think there could be an imaginary episode using the Wicked Witch street scenes, and the segments could be various scary Sesame Street segments, including Kermit's B-sound lecture with the Beautiful Day...

That wasn't Herry's first appearance. His actual debut was in the skit where he and Cookie Monster sang about circles, and Jerry Nelson performed him in that one. The "Up and Down" song was originally recorded for an LP, with Jim Henson doing a generic monster. Then in the middle of Season 2...

Also, it should be noted that the actual Ernie puppets have a red mouth with a built-in tongue. The Large Orange Live Hand Anything Muppet has a black mouth and can have a tongue added.

I know that Jerry Nelson usually performed Rodeo Rosie, but I heard that Richard Hunt also occasionally performed her (people on this thread remember seeing skits with her performed by Hunt). That would make her a pretty minor character if she has TWO Muppeteers. But I do remember seeing her in...

Um, Totally Spies Fan, the Monsterpiece Theater "Upstairs Downstairs" skit isn't from Season 8. It is actually from 1982, probably Season 13 or 14.

In my book, it's... Jim Henson Frank Oz Jerry Nelson Fran Brill Caroll Spinney

Betty Lou usually appeared in early skits, performed by Frank Oz and Fran Brill. After that, she was mostly an extra in songs such as "I Want a Monster to Be My Friend," "Exercise" and "Listen to the Bells." She also appeared in many books. During the "Around the Corner" era, she was used as...

It was a great idea to hire her. She sort of made history as the first female Muppeteer that Jim Henson hired (outside of Jane Henson, that is). Having a balance of male and female Muppeteers adds more to that whole womans' rights thing, and it also adds realism to it. And of course, in the...

Prairie Dawn first appeared in 1970, when Fran Brill joined the cast.
