If Gladys was still an active character on the street, I wonder if the writers would have done a bit about mad cow disease. Y'know, linking it with the curriculum topic of "angry". :D

When Richard performed a cow on the Muppet Show he would always give her the Gladys voice, like in the Beverly Sills episode. ("Madame Buttermilk". My heavens.....) Other than that, the Gladys puppet itself wasn't on the Muppet Show. Like with Don Music, I don't see any of the Muppeteers...

Here's an interesting fact, Normy..... The original Grover appeared in an Ed Sullivan Christmas sketch. He was part of a bunch of monsters who were "thugs, crooks and burglars". He was called Gleep and although he was played by Frank Oz, his voice sounded like Lefty's.

We know what the Unpaved book said about Don Music's head-banging on the piano, but it should also be noted that Don was performed by Richard Hunt. He, of course, passed away in 1992. It wasn't too long before then that I think I do remember seeing Don as a "street Muppet". (Eesh, that phrase...

It's probably old news, but hasn't been mentioned here. You can buy the "Shalom Sesame Sing Around the Seasons" commercial video, which has Guy Smiley singing the song in question. It switches between English and Hebrew, using a dubbed voice of Guy Smiley in Hebrew. The video even has...

This question is rather off-topic, but I'm confident I'll get a satisfactory answer here. Can DVD's purchased in Europe be played on a US DVD player? I understand that there will be or already is a Red Dwarf DVD and wonder if I'll be able to order it and play it here in the US. OK, a bit off...

I think Jerry once based his voice loosely on Jiminy Cricket. So, I guess a Ned Flanders voice with a hint of Jiminy Cricket squeak is a good description.

If it helps any, on the Muppet Central homepage, sometimes you can see a pic of what he looks like as appears before one of the options, "forum", "news", etc. I'm guessing if you press the Refresh button enough times you'll see his pic. Look for a lavender AM with a brown suit and Dexter...

I kinda liked the letter stories. You know, when a human cast member, like Bob, would read a story based on a certain letter and it would be acted out by the Anything Muppets. I have memories of one being about the letter Y.

Personally, I have a special place in my heart for skits that were made in the 1969 season. -The "A"/('Ey!') bit with Henson's early Muppet monsters, including an unnamed Cookie Monster, Beautiful Day and Green Grover. -Kermit's lecture on "W" from Show #1. Both parts with Cookie Monster...

Mobity Mosely I know I don't know what Mobity Mosely looks like either. I only know of him from the Roosevelt Franklin record, in which he is voiced by Matt Robinson. I could be wrong, I'm inclined to say that he never was on the TV show, just the album. I can only imagine what he could...

Jerry N. once posted that he modelled the character after Jiminy Cricket, more or less. Jim and Frank ultimately didn't think Herbert was working out very well, although Jerry might have thought differently. I hope I got that right. I can't relocate that original post.

I presume you mean the girl who said this quote at the start of one the Noggin episodes from 1972, since it's bunched with "U is for Ursula" & "X for Xavier". Ingrid in this case, was a human girl, not a Muppet.

This is more recent, but the Simon Soundman skit with a wild elephant stomping through the china store is one that, although I like it, I still find scary on a certain level. But then, I'm sure that was the idea. Jim Henson would have been mighty proud of that skit. I like the skit even more...

You're right, they were in the "At Sea" sketch. But in the campfire sketch Jerry Nelson was Barry and Frank was Larry. Richard was the bear. Those are the only two sketches I know of. Who Mary was in this bit is a mystery to me, it almost sounds like a John Lovelady voice - a higher voice...

I'm sure Jerry was, and also Fran and many others. He must have had many different people being his right hand over the years. I'd just be interested to know if Caroll was one of them.

With me, it's a tie between Henson's falling chef number films and the psychadelic racecar/spies cartoons with Jefferson Airplane & Grace Slick.

Re: Question 18 Actually, Elmo has been a guest on The Frugal Gourmet, about 10 years ago or so. Quite a few times, I believe. Kevin Clash did a lot of ad-libbing and was quite funny.

This is something I've been thinking of, no sources or rumors or anything like that. It stands to reason. In the first season of Sesame Street (1969-1970), Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Caroll Spinney were the only Muppeteers - at least the only Muppeteers who provided their own voices, there...

How about Benny? "I gotta get downtown!"
