    Charachters who were phased out rather than written out

    I think Linda was starting to be phased out in the 30th season, and I think she only appeared once in the last season that she was a regular in. Since the eartly 2000s, Herry Monster has been phased out.

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    For the last two weeks, every time I have gone to this message board, my internet connection has suddenly disconnected for some reason (I don't know why... this hasn't happened to other sites I've visited), so I am just now reading this. This is good news, especially since Sesame Workshop has...

    First appearances?

    I wonder which appearance came first. I've seen sources that list The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence as her first appearance, and sources that list the Herb Albert special as her first appearance (and some sources have listed both specials as being from the same year). I believe that the Muppet...

    I have read that the mirrors face belongs to Jerry Nelson, who was the Pigs in Space announcer.

    Uncredited Performers

    The first two episodes were reworked after regular production of the first season had began. Many scenes were cut and new sceens were cut. Ain't Misbehavin' was filmed then, when Jerry Nelson was able to perform. Other scenes that were filmed later include Miss Piggy karate chopping kermit after...

    The Grouchkateer's originated as "The Grouch Club"

    Even when Jim Henson planned on selling the entire company to Disney in 1990 (years after the Birdkateers and Grouchkateers were introduced), the rights to the Sesame Street characters were the only thing that Disney was not going to get. In 2004, when Disney finally did get the rights to the...

    Old 1980's Sesame Street episodes

    I don't know if you know about this site, but there is a website called Muppet Wiki, which anybody can edit. If you are not a member, you should join, and add pages for any of those episodes that the Wiki does not currently have information on (or if you do not want to join, maybe people who get...

    Jim Henson' Last Performance.

    Speaking of I Wonder About the World Above Up There, in the booklet for the album Jim Henson: A Sesame Street Celebration, the song is listed with a 1988 copyright, but then I was glancing at the book "it's Not easy Being Green" at a store, and saw some copyright credits for various quotes, and...

    Did a Guest Star ever refuse to go on TMS

    I think that was mentioned in the Muppet Central interview with Jerry Juhl. I can't remember if it was mentioned that any of them didn't want to be on there, but I think there were both budjet problems of having four guests and also because Paul McCarthy had a contract with Wings at the time and...

    S.S Home Videos Improvement

    Actually, the skit you are thinking about is Mystery Letter, where the mystery letter is X, and the contestants were Don Music, Sherlock Hemlock, and Cookie Monster. The letter in What's my letter was E, and the contestant was Prairie Dawn. Unless, of course, there were multiple What's My...

    The Grouchkateer's originated as "The Grouch Club"

    Disney has never owned the rights to Sesame Street. There weren't very many other "kateers"-type clubs. I've read about an epsiode where Telly started the Bob-kateers because he liked Bob so much, and there was an episode in season 30 where the Count formed the Count-kateers.

    Questions for Kevin Donoghue - Video Co-Ordinator for Follow That Bird.

    I thought you said that he told you there really was a blue Big Bird. I would have thought that a stunt double would have been on the motorcycle when he was driving it. Was Jim Henson really involved with this project as much as he was with some of his other Muppet projects? KD: Jim...

    Your Thoughts: Dinosaurs Sesasons 1-2 DVD

    So, have there been any reviews on any websites? I look at The Internet Movie Database, but there were no external reviews listed (not even for the series itself). I am surprised that this hasn't been reviewed at Muppet Central, considering Muppet Central has reviewed a lot of recent DVDs before...

    Did a Guest Star ever refuse to go on TMS

    That was only in the context of the episode, not his real feelings. To answer the first question, many guest stars refused to appear on the show during the first season, and most of the first season guests were personal friends of people who worked on the show. There was a thread that says...

    Digit

    Digit should be owned by Disney. Disney owns the MuppeTelevision portions of The Jim Henson Hour, and Digit was a big part of that, and he didn't appear in anything that The Jim Henson Company still owns the rights to (I am assuming that Disney owns the InnerTube pilot).

    Digit

    I really like Digit. He is the only new character from The Jim henson Hour that i remember from my childhood (before Nickeldoeon aired The Secrets of the Muppets). He is a much better character than Bean Bunny and Clifford, and I don't see why he wasn't used more after that. Dave Goelz never...

    What about Bean?

    In The Muppets Wizard of oz, Bean can be seen carrying a suitcase onto the tour bus as the Muppets are about to leave kansas. Oh, and he was in Muppet Treasure Island. he could be seen leaving the bar at the beginning. In Muppet Party Cruise, he was one of the few non-playable characters who...

    Your Thoughts: Dinosaurs Sesasons 1-2 DVD

    One thing that would make a good feature on the season 3 set (assuming that season 3 get's released) would be the promo that advertised the fact that the show moved to friday nights on TGIF. That promo had the Sinclairs inside some kind fo tornado (similar to The Jim Henson Hour opening). When I...

    Those were good introductions. Maybe I could make mock-introductions for episodes that I have not seen.
