Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
The executives liked her enough to add her to Pinky and the Brain (and it seems they considered a different spin-off before that).
I always liked her, though I tend to feel sorry for the other characters when she wins (even ones without much personality, like the jungle animals in How I Spent...

An interesting sequence where they use a computer to learn about other "upaguses" besides Snuffleupaguses.
Geez, it's not long after the adults finally see that Snuffy was real, and they're suddenly learning that there are other kinds of upaguses...
An improvement over most of the recent Sesame Street Records releases has been announced: There will be a CD release of A Swinging Sesame Street Celebration, with only "It's a Circle" and "Mahna Mahna" absent. I guess "Mahna Mahna" is due to music rights, I wonder what's up with "It's a Circle"...
Good thing he decided to do his taxi business after everybody saw he was real, otherwise customers (besides Big Bird and the kids) would never see him and give him business.
Don't know how likely people would know the answer, but did the puppet designers actually design Anything Muppet characters who were intended to only appear in one sketch or street story? Seems like they wouldn't need the design much, just take the puppet base and put on clothing and facial...
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0220
Episode 220 features the first appearance of the song "What Makes Music", and also features a rarely-seen girl named Frannie, who was known to have appeared in a couple of the lost episodes, so it's good to see what she looks like (and to know that...
This sounds like an awesome episode, Forgetful Jones loses his numbers and thinks everybody stole them, and the episode ends with Gladys and Buster hosting the Sesame Street Nightly News, recapping the episodes events. This could have made a good (recurring) alternative to Sesame Street News. I...
I dreamt that I was at a movie theater watching The Great Muppet Caper, but there's more between the hot air balloon sequence and Hey a Movie (well, I woke up by the time of Hey a Movie), with the balloon landing safely to the ground, then Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo get in a car and go on some...
And yet another Follow That Bird dream, I dreamt that I saw an alternate scene from Follow That Bird, where instead of Big Bird asking the rescue kids to call Sesame Street and the gang shows up in the morning to rescue Big Bird, Big Bird looked out a window while locked in his cage performing...
Was episode 199 provided from the same source as many of these episodes? It's pictures are all in black and white.

Now to show my work for known Jim Henson segments from seasons 17-21....
Season 17: 18
Ernie segments: 4 - Imagine That, Miami Mice: Ernie, One Fine Face, and When Bert's Not Here.
Kermit segments: 8- Miami Mice: Kermit, Happy and sad with Elmo, Z/N lecture, Caribbean Amphibian, sight word...
It seems like the kids are often mean to Charlie Brown, but after thinking about it a bit yesterday, it seems like it's really the girls who are regularly mean to Charlie Brown, with the boys usually being on better terms. I almost want to say that the boy who is the meanest is Shermy, the one...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
