Betty Lou usually appeared in early skits, performed by Frank Oz and Fran Brill. After that, she was mostly an extra in songs such as "I Want a Monster to Be My Friend," "Exercise" and "Listen to the Bells." She also appeared in many books. During the "Around the Corner" era, she was used as...

It was a great idea to hire her. She sort of made history as the first female Muppeteer that Jim Henson hired (outside of Jane Henson, that is). Having a balance of male and female Muppeteers adds more to that whole womans' rights thing, and it also adds realism to it. And of course, in the...

Prairie Dawn first appeared in 1970, when Fran Brill joined the cast.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8afQWyYWmE Someone FINALLY re-uploaded another one of my all-time favorite Sesame Street News Flash segments! Note that it is in really high quality, and has NO Noggin logo on it! He must have gone deep down into the CTW archives or something! :D

That's right. They were in the test pilots. That's where the "Two Noses" skit comes from.

I actually made this clip myself. I meant it to be for my own personal enjoyment, but SOMEBODY snatched it from me and uploaded it to Youtube without MY permission! Needless to say, the old Viacom "V of Doom" logo plays as the Yakity Yakity Yak charges toward the screen...

It says on Muppet Wiki that David Rudman performed her.

I take it you might have had some sort of fear of the Orange Gold Guy Smiley-type Anything Muppets due to your fears of the Spaceship Surprise Captain and Vincent Twice. You also mentioned that a lumberjack character mildly scared ya. I think that one was also an Orange Gold AM. Also, I think...

I think Velma Blank on "Squeal of Fortune" ("Sesame Street") was silent, but we know that David Rudman performed her.

Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

Zoe debuted in 1992, the year they switched taping studios and the year they started using that crazy Calypso opening theme and the current closing credits. "Around the Corner" didn't come until a year later. Also, unlike other newer commonly-seen Muppets, Zoe is performed by one of the...

The new one from last Sunday. In it, the Simpsons' dog (Santa's Little Helper) becomes a police dog.

Sawing14s uploaded the early 1970s Sesame Street News Flash about Kermit witnessing the Wolf chasing Red Riding Hood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1aAlg8_sTw I'm also surprised that Richard Hunt performed Red Riding Hood instead of Frank Oz. Normally in these News Flash segments Jerry...

I just saw a Sesame Street reference on "The Simpsons" tonight! They had a blue sweatshirt with Big Bird killing Elmo!

OK, I am sorry. I just say that some of these changes are quite possible and can be done.

OK, today I saw Episode 4129 of "Sesame Street." It was a slight improvement over the 2004 episode I saw. I also got to see the full version of the current opening theme. It is basically another remix of the old "Sesame Street" intro but with more instruments, and of course, including the...

That Newsflash about the Count's cannonballs wound NEVER be made! It would be deemed as too scary for kids. Besides, the Count would NEVER be violent to Kermit! But the one about the Count's grandfather clock I could definitely see as a skit. OK, so a couple of nights ago, I had a REALLY odd...

The new opening was a slight change, but the rest of the show was unaffected. "Around the Corner" was a big change, because they introduced loads of new characters that were partially unneccesary and kept doing plots about the AtC location, and the use of the new theme didn't help. The 1998...

I can see why Kevin Clash did several singing characters... he was the first REAL African-American Muppeteer, if I'm not mistaken

Also, the corporate motto for Chuck E. Cheese is "Where a kid can be a kid." (I don't know if it still is.) However, the commercials for Chuck E. Cheese say "The real cool place to be a kid." Yet the PBS bumpers for Chuck E. Cheese claim it as "PBS Kids, where a kid can be a kid." Google...
