    Who played Cookie in "Fuzzy & Blue"?

    Sometimes I find it fun to try and guess who is performing a Muppet when their normal performer is working someone else. In the case of "Fuzzy and Blue", since Frank was operating Grover, I wonder who was operating Cookie Monster during that same scene. Come to think of it, I wonder who...

    Could someone identify this sketch for me?

    I know what you mean, it was a rehearsal for a Prairie Dawn pageant on emotions. Bert was dressed as Cupid, although he thought the costume was silly. He couldn't get into the song that was written for him, so instead he sang "That's Love". Prairie played the music, which Bert happened to leave...

    What musician was on the first Sesame Street episode?

    I don't think there was a musician on the first episode, at least not as a guest star. The only guest was Carol Burnett - if you blinked, you missed her. :) You don't mean, who were the musicians who wrote the songs and background music for the show, do you?

    Rhyming Song

    Which roughly translates into, some red haired guy chickened out on his wedding day. :)

    Sesame Street Unpaved: There's a Hole in the Bucket

    This may sound crazy, but didn't the woman (Dear Liza) sound like Rita Moreno? You know, when you're watching Electric Company during the days when you first see this skit, you can't help but wonder whether that was her. If it wasn't, maybe it was Marilyn Sokol? It's been quite some time since I...

    Was there a Barbara Walters parody?

    That's right, I think it was Baa Baa Walters interviewing Meryl Sheep.

    Sketches wanted--looking for traders

    I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that "The Letter N" isn't a parody of a direct song or video, just a general parody of the way MTV videos and bands of the time. The direct parody, as you correctly pointed out was MTV itself. I don't know if it was intentional, but I always thought...

    The Sesame Movie Battle

    I have to admit I liked FTB better, even though I saw it once and that was over 15 years ago.

    A unique idea for a Sesame Street parody band!

    I don't think the world needs anymore songs based on letter "U"/you puns. But I don't think I've ever known a letter Y song. How about: The Beetles singing "Tell Me, Y".

    Sesame Street under attack for airing McDonald's commercials

    Here's a question to ask, one that I have no idea of the answer. I live in a city where there is plenty of alternatives to McDonald's in walking distance, among fast-food joints alone. But I do wonder if there are many places in America where McDonald's is the only cheap place to eat and get...

    Sesame Street History

    Sinister Sam.

    If Jim Henson was still alive, what would you ask him?

    Not related to Muppets or puppets? Does that leave out asking, "Who's your tailor? I love that outfit!" I guess I'd ask him if he would ever produce animation again.

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    Sounds a lot better than calling it a "horn", I guess. In hindsight it looked like a toy.

    Terminator in!

    Speaking of which, weren't there some women in the porn industry who not only ran, but were elected to the Parliament in Italy?
  15. Splurge

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    I remember that well. What I remember that the part with Northern playing the horn again cross-fades into an image like an oriental rug, or something like that. Only the "matted" number 12 stayed on the screen, growing bigger into the center of the screen. Maybe it wasn't exactly a rug...

    Terminator in!

    Unless I'm mistaken, he can't run for president because he wasn't born in this country, even though he is currently a citizen.

    Original child on Sesame Street

    So, she was on the set with Mr. Hooper. Years later in her career, she would star in "Hanging With Mr. Cooper". Coincidence? :)

    That puppet then went on to become Guy Smiley, did he not? As well as Prince Charming.

    Ed Sullivan DVD: Early Sesame characters

    Maybe he was searching for computer cookies. :D (ducks for cover)

    Rare animated films (not shown on Noggin)

    Interestingly enough. I saw that air on Plaza Sesamo months ago.
