    Cookie Monster after season 1

    Okay, this thread has sort of morphed into changes in all the puppets, not just Cookie Monster, so I'll post this here... Does anyone else remember "Bucket-Mouth Oscar"? It was a rebuild of Oscar where he could move his eyes back and forth, along with his moving eyebrows. But we called him...

    Muppets on The Tonight Show

    I remember seeing that at least once. He may have been on more than once. :p

    Cookie Monster after season 1

    Bert's nose also originally hung down over his mouth. This isn't the major rebuild I was talking about around Season 3. I think what you're talking about here was basically taking the same head and changing the features. :p

    Cookie Monster after season 1

    Yes, I've seen most of the Sam and Friends characters in person, including one of the earliest Kermits. They were all in "The Art of the Muppets" traveling museum exhibit. I saw that show twice, once in San Diego and about a year later when they brought it to L.A. I don't remember how many...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Okay, here's the annotated picture. I'm the one in the center of the circle, not the guy in the front with the moustache. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1186/4105878/8554372/115827957.jpg I also pointed out a few other highlights. I didn't mark Jim and Frank... you guys can find them...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, MuppetDude!!! What great pictures! Brought back some wonderful memories for me. I certainly had never seen them before. I'm going to try and annotate them and show everyone where I am in the 3rd picture. Even the people who know me now won't be able to...

    Cookie Monster after season 1

    I would say Cookie Monster was first rebuilt around Season 3 or 4. It was a dramatic change. The original monster had a flexible mouth with his eyes clearly on Frank's knuckles, at the top of the head. The new Cookie had a wider, flat mouth, and his head no longer came to a point with the...

    Piggy Construction Question

    They're not seamless at all. You can very clearly see the neck seam on Piggy. :p

    What Kind of Project Are You Working on Right Now?

    He played the Onion Role. :p

    This guy did: http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/puppets/replicas.html I don't know him... have nothing to do with him... I just stole this link from another thread. :p

    Old Sesame Street Muppet Puppets

    I have some of those. I made a foam body for Ernie so his shirt didn't hang down limp like that. :p

    What Kind of Project Are You Working on Right Now?

    Talking about M*A*S*H... They were all there at one or the other of the times I went. When I first walked onto the soundstage, Alan Alda was sitting on top of The Swamp tent. It wasn't even for a shot, he was just up there waiting. I actually was on an episode of AfterM*A*S*H. I was in...

    Sesame Street Store

    I had written a little story about Sesame Place here, then found there's already another thread about it that has more information than what I posted... so I deleted this post. :p

    Kukla Fran & Ollie fans?

    Wow! That's great to know. Thanks for the info! :p

    99 Twice... What are the odds??

    That's a good question. As soon as I get my time machine perfected, I'll go back and check. Either that, or we can wait until next year when they'll both be 100!! :p
