They did "Dance Myself to Sleep" with guest stars on the "Street We Live on Special." I don't remember who the guest stars were though. I'll have to check my tape on that again.

I remember that. I think it's also at the Lyrics Archive.

Are you sure about that? I haven't seen a Kermit News Flash since they changed the format. I thought the last one that was shown was in the hurricane episode.

That was good. I liked the part with Oscar, but maybe you could have put in an explanation of why Gordon changed. After all, he was played by a different actor in the first season. Other than that, I enjoyed reading it.

That's funny. I thought Big Bird was 'dumber' in season 1. Well, I guess I wasn't born then, so I wouldn't know. Lol. I've noticed he usually gets the name right now. Most of the time he says "Hooper's Store" instead of "Looper's Store" or "Blooper's Store" or whatever.

Yes. Kermit still pops up on the show sometimes like in the "Do de Rubber Duck" song and in the 35th anniversary special, but they need permission from the Jim Henson company to use him. In answer to your other question about Snuffy, you might want to look at the "Big Bird and Snuffy" thread...

I haven't heard of it, but I did check her filmography at imdb.com. It seems like she's so much more than just Prarie Dawn and Zoe. She has also done a few cartoon voices. I'll have to look at that info again sometime when I get a chance.

You mean Big Bird actually remembered Mr. Hooper's name in one sketch? Wow! He's smarter than he seems. Anyway, I was very young when he passed away. I guess the only ep I really remember with him was on "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" when he gave :( back his paper clips and he gave :p...

Another thing to bring up is it seems like Matt was pretty popular when he was on the show. I grew up watching Roscoe as Gordon, so that's what I'm used to, but I'm guessing a lot of people who watched Sesame Street in the 70s must have been shocked to find out about the change.

Hmmmm. I don't remember one with Cookie Monster. He worked with Grover a lot. I do remember one with him doing a platform act with Grover. Then after Mumford left, Grover tried the same trick with Herry which didn't work out to well. Is that the one your thinking of?

Actually, I feel these sketches could still be aired. After all, the first one about the newspaper mentions Hooper's Store which is still there. They don't really mention Mr. Hooper himself. It might be hard to air the second one though, unless Oscar's line of dialog is changed to say that...

Neither did Matt Robinson. Lol. So was the episode where Snuffy was revealed the first with Elmo? (I mean the Kevin Clash Elmo that we know today.) It's kind of interesting that he helped Big Bird in that ep. Now it seems like Elmo has taken Big Bird's place as the star of the show.

I think I remember that one. I remember Telly yelling at everybody to keep quiet, even the birds that were singing. I remember Hiroshi pretty well. I wonder whatever happened to him.

I agree. When I saw the title of this post, I was thinking "Wow! Another commercial with Kermit or Miss Piggy." But I was wrong there.

I agree, It seems like Gonzo is the only Muppet left who's still performed by his original performer. (At least the only "Muppet Show" Muppet left) Let's hope dave continues to perform :concern: for a long time.

Hmmm. Let's see how many I can remember... There was one where they were fighting over a newspaper, then a guy came in to read the funnies. There was another one where Gordon showed them how to make a decision by flipping a coin There was also one where they were making a snowman, but...

Lol. That was really good. Maybe you should make a fan fiction out of that.

I'm sort of confused. I thought Cookie Monster first appeared on the first ep of Sesame Street. If it's his birthday, isn't it everybody else's birthday as well? Please clarify.

According to imdb.com, it's just a coincedence. But if that's the case where DID the names come from? It's kind of hard to believe they just pulled the names "Bert" and "Ernie" out of a hat.
