Actually, you can see a little bit of info on Fran, as well as her pictures, in the books SESAME STREET UNPAVED and JIM HENSON: THE WORKS. You can also see what she looks like on the film MIDNIGHT RUN. She's at the beginning where she plays Charles Grodin' wife. Her real-life voice sounds...

I just bought and finished the new CARROLL SPINNEY autobiography, and I must say that it is an invaluable source of Sesame Street trivia and little-kown facts. A must for any SS fan. For instance, if you read this, (and you can in one night, it's only 160 pages), you'll find out...

Anyone know the stats of Fran Brill and Carmen Osbahr? Are they married and/or do they have children? I think they're very talented Muppeteers and very little is written about them. All I know about Frannie is that she's a vet since 1970 and Carmen came from Plaza Sesamo, but that's...

What's Jazzy #2 and Jazzy #4? Are those the spies / racecars cartoons from 1969? You know, the psychedelic cartoons with vocals by Grace Slick, where she counts 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. and at the very end, you see a lineup of 10 spies in treachcoats revealing the numbers 1 through 10?

I'm thinking that he wasn't named Cookie Monster even in the SECOND season. The first time Monster is addressed as "Cookie Monster" in the Sesame Street Unpaved shows is the season premiere of 1971, when Luis holds up an "M" and asks Cookie Monster (who looks different than how he did the...

It's hard to pinpoint what her last appearance in 1988 was (probably as a background Muppet on the street), but her first appearance in 1970 was either: 1) with blue-nosed Herry Monster and talking about imagaination or 2) with early version Cookie Monster talking about hot and cold...

I had no idea that he's gonna be in town!! What's he going to be doing in Berkeley? Signing his book?

I remember this very poignant episode, Thanksgiving Day 1983. Will Lee had died in late 1982, but the producers resisted revealing his character's death for quite some time. Norman Stiles, longtime head writer of Sesame Street, wrote a beautiful script which explained this issue without...

Hey guys: I'm surprised no one has posted this (if they have, forgive me), but there's a new book called: THE WISDOM OF BIG BIRD by Carroll Spinney that hits bookstores on April 28th. If you want to read more about it, read the current issue of Entertainment Weekly with the naked Dixie...

Well, considering that FRAN BRILL was the voice/hand behind Little Bird, I would assume that Little was a she. But alas! Little Bird is no more! First appearance: 1970, last appearance: 1988.

This character (was he supposed to be a hippie?) also performed "Mahna Mahna" in the 1969-1970 season of SESAME. However, he did it with two Anything Muppet girls and not cows. He also wore a striped purple shirt, and no shades.

Well, Another SS cast member has left the show. LINDA BOVE (1970 - 2002) Her name is no longer in the end credits.

Just thought of this: Did you know that there was an even EARILER pilot episode of Sesame Street broadcast in July 1969 (and not the famous one from November 1969 that is shown on Noggin and at the Museum of TV and Radio)? CTW did 5 shows, broadcast them on a UHF station in Pennsylvania...

Re: Re: Reply Yes, Ernie and Bert. Their first appearance was actually not even nationally aired. It was on the ORIGINAL Sesame Street pilot episode that was shown in July of 1969 (not the famous November 1969 pilot shown on Noggin), and only shown to 100 families who were paid by...

Re: Re: Reply As far as Grover's first appearance, (not counting "brown Grover" or Fuzzy-Face, as he was called in 1969), his first appearance on a Street segment was in the 1970 season premiere, where he participated in "One of These Things" with Bob and Susan. He was perched...
