If they couldn't get Jim Carrey, would they have gotten somebody who can sound like him, like Matt Frewer, or would they have gotten a different-sounding voice actor? Did Horton have to have a Jim Carrey-like voice?

Yes, and if it was because they didn't achieve the fame they hoped for, then they must have had some really high standards for Hoots. He's likely a lot more popular to casual fans than Chicago or Merry. After starting out on the show around 1985, he continued to be heavily used until sometime...

I was surprised to find that Muppet Wiki did not have a guide for episode 846, as I previously thought that the wiki had some kind of guide for every single season 7 episode, but in looking at the wiki since, I've found that quite a few episodes are missing guides there. Wonder why I thought the...

The dead wall started with Hoots? Wow, that must mean it started around the early 2000s (and he came back shortly after that). I would have expected the "founding father" of the dead Muppet wall to be Professor Hastings.

His controversy may have kept him off the show for good (aside from some non-speaking background appearances, at least one of which ended up being cut), but Sesame Workshop doesn't avoid acknowledging him. Episodes featuring him didn't cut him out on Noggin, DVD, or iTunes (and I admit, I...

Sesame Workshop used to have a "Dead Muppet Wall" (I think it was said in an episode of Below the Frame that they no longer have that wall) with pictures of characters who were no longer being used, and I wonder if Leslie Mostly was included on the wall. It would make sense, but it was also said...

I don't think he fully explained what a "dead Muppet" is, I kinda assumed one who was taken off the show because they didn't exactly work out and who the performers don't like talking about (though many performers have talked about a lot of their old characters in interviews), if that's the...

I should have worded it better, but I meant I didn't know what the educational topic of the Cookie Monster sketch was, I did know it was about him making a house out of cookies and eating his own home (I did briefly wonder if creative thinking was the educational topic). But thanks. I don't...

He may have forgotten back then, but today I saw on Muppet Wiki that Oz confirmed in a Facebook Live session today that the statue was performed by Jerry Nelson. I guess he suddenly remembered since then. It's great to finally know!

There's a season 12 press release which mentions several characters who debuted in season 12, but I'm starting to wonder if any of them actually did debut that season. Most of them seem to have debuted before. Assuming 40 Years of Sunny Days is accurate, Dr. Nobel Price appeared at least once...

Well, sesamestreet.org used to have a characters page with a special box listing various character names that you could click on that lead to search results for that character, and Leslie Mostly was among them despite not appearing in any clips on the site. That section also included the...

And to be clear, the guide for the week of shows 846-850 didn't look like it was torn/missing a page (a page that could have covered highlights from shows 846 and 847), right?

I keep thinking up more things that I wish I had thought to say in the post. Like, I wish I'd said that Sesame Workshop would allow fans to pick episodes or full street stories to post on YouTube during the celebration, considering the recent trend of them posting full hour episodes. I'm sure...

Program guides for seasons 11 and 12 recently surfaced online, and I saw in a guide for one season 11 episode (can't remember the number off-hand, but it's the Friday show from the week where the Fix-It Shop gets renovated) which lists "Song: Leslie Mostly". I wonder if that was actually a song...

Looking at the program guides for seasons 11 and 12 from the CTW Archives that recently surfaced online, it seems like Buffy and her family would make visits to Sesame Street over the course of a few episodes. Which makes sense, since they were living in Hawaii in season 9, something I thought...

No, I checked the wiki after reading about it not being listed. I started pages for episodes 1317-1321, first time I created wiki pages sourced from the program guides. It was an interesting experience. Some fans (like Oscarfan) seem to be better at listing the eka's and copying segment...

I thought about putting in info about there being a vote on toys but forgot about it. I think I would have said that fans could vote for either stuffed animals, action figures, or PVCs, and probably would have said that fans could vote for nominated characters and nominate some characters...

If info on episodes 846 and 847 are missing info in the scrip highlights, then I'd like to see a scan of script highlights for the week of shows 846-850 to see how it looked. Did it just list three episodes, or were different episode details listed in their place?

I didn't realize that episode 846 was missing a guide at Muppet Wiki, I mistakenly assumed the wiki had some kind of guide for every episode of season 7. It's a weird coincidence that two episodes in a row would need to be taken out of script highlights (or a rerun cycle). But just because...

I wonder why the monitors wouldn't have worked on-location in those productions. Though he didn't need special neckware for Follow That Bird.
