    Jim Henson's performances in later years

    Showing my work for the amount of insert segments Jim Henson did for seasons 14-16: Season 14 - at least 21. 14 as Ernie - search for Dr. Livingston, I Wish I Had a Friend to Play with Me, Ernie and Bert go camping, Honker Duckie Dinger Jambouree, E&B Snowman, But I Like You, Ernie watches...

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    Last night I was watching The Leslie Mostly Show: Kermit (actually, a fan-made English dub from a foreign copy), then I watched My Pollywog Ways, and while Kermit is dressed differently in both segments, I think those were shot on the same day (there are known instances of days when they shot...

    Jim Henson's performances in later years

    I've ended up being a bit busy this week, but now I can show some of my work. For season 10, he performed in at least 20 segments. That includes 11 as Ernie - Bert teaches pigeon checkers, Apple Walnut Raisen Cookies, Ernie Meets Cousin Monster, Sharing a Newspaper , Ernie’s M/N Gadget...

    Jim Henson's performances in later years

    Recently, I decided to search the wiki for as many segments as I could think of that Jim Henson performed in, to see how often he performed on the show in later years (of course, taping dates are limited, so I'm mainly going by how many seasons he did). I decided to start with season ten...

    Fran Brill

    Yeah, the wiki has a sandbox page for uncredited performers, for many seasons it only lists Brill for doing one or a handful of characters (sometimes saying she just did Prairie Dawn for one insert that season). To put it in perspective, in Street Gang and Jim Henson: The Biography, Jim...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    An episode that coincided with the first Earth Day. Those Plezuzmi boxes look neat. And it's an episode Caroll Spinney talked about in his book where they wanted black smoke but ended up with white smoke (I can't remember if I saw this guide before, when all the editors had to go by was the...

    Fran Brill

    Fran Brill was not credited for a long time. She was credited in season two, then she wasn't credited on the show until, I think, halfway through season 21. While one of the main Muppet performers (or have I underestimated her "main" status all these years?), it seems like she performed on...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    So for a few years, we've had access to a season 16 episode with the original Rubber Duckie, which follows a street scene with various sounds, and the beginning cut. And now I know they had that street scene and Rubber Duckie edit again in another episode...

    Little things we've noticed

    I saw one season 11 credits sequence online that credited Brian Muehl as performing Barkley in the cast, as opposed to the "Jim Henson's Muppets" credit. I wonder if Michael Earl eventually got credited that season, would he have been grouped in the cast (maybe saying he performed...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    That stood out to me as well. Two kids who I feel were in two of the more famous Muppet/children interactions with Kermit. I'm pretty sure that would be the characters second appearance. Whenever that is (he was used as a generic monster between episode 1257 and the "Fix-It Shop gets...

    The Leslie Mostly Show with Guy Smiley

    The sketch description at Muppet Wiki mentions Herry being there, which isn't clear. But from those photos, it looks like there's some blue fur between Harvey and Maurice, with some kids in front, I guess those kids are blocking Herry from those stills.

    Sketches that are only available in a foreign dub

    With Scott wanting a definitive list of what hasn't surfaced in English, does that exclude what the wiki has but otherwise isn't in English anywhere for the fans to see? It is a little difficult to really determine that. Of course I don't know what Scott wants such a list for, I assume some...

    Sketches that are only available in a foreign dub

    But I am sure that the Leslie Mostly interviews with Cookie Monster and Kermit have only surfaced in other languages. Here's the wiki page, pictures show they exist and have surfaced somehow: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Leslie_Mostly Do you also require links to at least one foreign dub...

    Sketches that are only available in a foreign dub

    I just now noticed that the first post asked to provide an image, link, wiki page, or something as proof that it exists, though I also see that it says "edited to add". I don't know when that was added, if it was there close to when this thread started then I must have missed that. Lately...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've just seen a screenshot of the end credits for episode 1320, showing the "Jim Henson's Muppets" credit, which only lists Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and Richard Hunt, as it had for most of the 1970s seasons. I would have thought Michael Earl and Brian Meehl would be credited. Makes me wonder if...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I thought that was an unlisted upload, meaning you had to have the link to find it. And maybe it has gone offline as well.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    The wiki now has an image from the season two version of "Before and After". All this time, I thought they just replaced the scenes with Buddy, but it turns out the whole segment was re-shot.

    The "You know what?" thread

    The tagline on the poster and home video cover for The Water Boy is "you can mess with him, but don't mess with his water". But the movie doesn't really have many scenes where people insult water to the title character. And he gets his "tackling fuel" by imagining people being mean to him like...
