    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    I wonder if that's why Seymour hasn't been used at all since Muppets Tonight. He seemed to have a simialr personality and effect. Then again, it seems like most dumb fictional characters are like that, though the original dumb Big Bird wasn't (at least based on what I've seen of Big Bird during...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    That's a shame. It's been reported that Jim Henson didn't keep many secrets. I wonder if he would have made this an exception.

    What happened to good old Herry?

    Jerry Nelson also performed another monster, Frazzle. And of course he used to perform half of the Two-Headed Monster.

    What happened to good old Herry?

    I don't really think that Herry's voice would be that hurtful (though I was the first one here to openly speculate that as the reason). If anything I would expect it to be easier to do than Cookie Monster or Guy Smiley's voices.

    What happened to good old Herry?

    That song was sung during the first season, though I don't know who sang it in the first season.

    1-2-3-4-5..6-7-8-9-10..11-12!

    I never thought of skits where characters just count to 20 (or 10, or 40) to be the number equivelent of reciting thw alphabet. Of course people don't recite the alphabet and stop at any certain letters (it would have been cool if Sesame Street had a recurring letter series with an opening where...

    Fraggle Rocks nod to Peanuts

    That would be a reference to "The Increditble Shrinking Woman".

    Racism on Sesame Street?

    I wonder if it would have been a good idea to have shown the racist person. Surely it couldn't have been Oscar...

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    Those are some pretty good choices, though I think that if non-season premier episodes are to be included, then Olivia's first appearance needs to be included. I also think that the sixth season episode where Big Bird runs for president would also be a good episode (it's the second episode from...

    Yes.. Err, maybe... uh, I guess... Oh, what the heck, yes I am joking.

    how about a SS compilation TV series?

    How would you feel if there was a half-hour Sesame Street compilations eries, with only old footage from Sesame Street? I would call it "The Best of Sesame Street" (although it would have some rare footage that might not neccessarily be thought of as "best"). This would be the content for...

    Kermit's 1 lecture

    (Kermit is sitting on a brick wall. There is also a number 1 on the wall) Kermit: Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here, and today I am going to talk to you about the number 1. Now, this is a 1. It is just one line, and should not be confused with an I or a lower-case l. And I only have one 1 with me...

    1-2-3-4-5..6-7-8-9-10..11-12!

    And I was thinking of that line when I tried to think of some joke answers (and it was Kermit who gave the "bad triangle" line).

    The forgotten Muppets.

    I'm sure that there are hundreds of forgotten muppets (I would say millions, but Muppet Wiki just recently got up to 2,000 character articles). But there's Boppity, Beautiful Day Monster, Digit, Lips, Trumpet Girl, two different Muppets named Nigel, Brewster, Leo, Grump, Vicki, Seymour, Luncheon...

    How about a ruler? A very tall man with his arms stuck to the side of his body? A sideways rectangle? A bad rocket?

    New Elmo's World Ideas

    I've had an idea for awhile: Frogs! Of course, I would be more in favor of a "frogs" segment if Sesame Workshop could get Kermit the Frog to make an appearance. Kermit could appear when Elmo wants to talk to a frog. Maybe the "what else?" segent could ask, "What do frogs do, and what don't frogs...

    New Elmo's World Ideas

    Elmo could ask "how do you hug yourself?" Elmo's counting question could be "how many hugs will a penguin give to a cat?" Don't know about the other two.

    1-2-3-4-5..6-7-8-9-10..11-12!

    I thought that the Muppet Wiki page for episode 8 mentioned that 4 and 5 both sponsored the show. I guess that was a mistake, and should probably be corrected. When research at the CTW Archives was first worked on, the Muppet Wiki pages for episodes 1 through 5 mentioned some of those episodes...

    1-2-3-4-5..6-7-8-9-10..11-12!

    I could be wrong. It might have been episode 121. I read the pages for all first season episodes at Muppet Wiki, and recall the last ten epsiodes being sponsored by one number each,f rom one to ten, and it might have been episode 121 instead of 120. The Jazz Numbers and Mad Painter series...
