There have also been at least 4 Elmos I can think of... c. 1979--small head, frizzy fur later '80s---slightly bigger head, smooth fur most of the '90s--differences too subtle to place, but it's definitely not the one before. now--I don't know if they keep adjusting the fur or if they've...

Wow, your husband's really in the dark on that subject! When you think of all the "cool" people who have dropped in over the years, usually unbilled and unannounced, it boggles the mind. I'm sure someone's already started a thread trying to name them all....(?) You could well be right about...

Mickey Moose: That was a three-part segment where Grover was trying to talk about how great the number 2 was, and no one was cooperating. Grover's favorite number was 2, but no one else was quite so enthusiastic. (Kermit: "Sorry....I kinda like 9.") If I remember right, Kermit does the...

Thought I'd start a thread about different character puppets that have been used through the years, at least the ones that I've noticed. This is an inexact science at best, but I'll try. Ernie, Bert, and Big Bird are the three most distinct ones that come to mind. With Ernie, there was: The...

I sometimes wonder if people like Bob McGrath and Loretta Long (Susan) missed working with characters like Kermit and Ernie, which they frequently did at the start.

Was that scene recent? Or was it a while ago? 'Cause I know they just recently brought Hoots back from oblivion, at least for that one song "A Cookie Is A Sometime Food." (they gave him these new, alert eyes, which I regret) About Kermit and him not having been there since the...

If they were marketing to to adults as well as kids, here's how I'd do it: Season box sets, with each set containg 10 episodes (roughly equal to one season set of a half-hour show), either two complete Mon-Fri sets from different parts of the year, or just 10 random ones. They could go...

Cookie was in at least two street scenes that are in "circulation" among this community---early in #276 and in the beginning of #796. That's all I happen to have seen; there might be more. I saw that recent episode about Bert's birthday party. It was cool to see him, though I don't think the...

That's funny. I get the opposite impression. To me it seems like Kermit has this contempt for Grover that he's not very good at concealing. ("How you doing, Froggy pal?" "Uh, I'm fine, Grover." "Oh, that is good." "At least I was until you came along." "Oh...") Kermit's a nice guy, but...

So Henson's characters rarely were on the Street because of his other committments? That makes sense. I'd always wondered about that. I guess that means the in-between segments were shot a different part of the year than the Street footage. But this wasn't true until the Muppet Show, you say...

Sunday comic Did anyone happen to see this? I don't remember the name of it, but some newspaper comic made a direct reference to the Barkely closing a couple months back. I forget its name---it's like a much milder "Far Side"; that kind of anything-goes weird humor with no continuing...

Hey monkeymissile: You'll be happy to know that that wacky "bells and horns" closing can be heard online at mythemes.tv (oddly enough, that's the entire URL) under "Sesame Street". It's the entire 1969-1992 Friday close complete with the 1972-1992 sponsers theme. It's apparantly taken from...
