    Grover using contractions

    I have read that Grover does not use contractiosn when he talks (so instead of saying "Can't", he says "Can not", and instead of saying "Won't", he says "Will not"). I have read a quote from Frank Oz where he says that if Grover uses contractions in a script, Oz makes sure he does not use them...

    When did Richard Hunt start having trouble performing Sweetums?

    I don't know when he started performing. I think I've heard about Sweetums making a public appearance at the opening of The Muppet Store in the early 1980s (I can't remember if I actually read this or if I'm just thinking it). Maybe he performed Sweetums there. I wonder if Richard Hunt...

    The Monster at the End of This Episode

    Grover: Hello, there! It is I, your cute, adorable friend, Grover. (shouting) BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT! I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE!! (Telly, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Zoe, Narf, and Herry all come onto the scene) Telly: A MONSTER!? Aaahhh Herry: Oh, no! Zoe...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    I just think it's odd that Mokey got Convincing John to agree to get every fraggle (except Traveling Matt, as he wasn't there) to swear off doozer towers. After Mokey releases everyone from their oath, he is convincing them to eat the towers. If I was convincing John, I would have convicned...

    When did Richard Hunt start having trouble performing Sweetums?

    I know that Richard Hunt eventually stopped performing Sweetums, sticking to just the voice, but does anybody know when he stopped performing from inside the suit? It seems like Sweetums wasn't used much during the 1980s. I only know of two Muppet Show episodes from the last season that...

    Sesame Street News: Count Dracula

    That was good. It's weird that Kermit hoped that he didn't see any more monsters. He has regularly interracted with monsters on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and he normally wasn't scarred of those monsters.

    Scooter presents The Muppet Show Season 5 Guest Star Moments

    I have written a Muppets Tonight compilation. It has been a bit hard for me to think up ideas for how Muppets Tonight compilations could be done.

    What if Muppets at Walt Disney World had SS characters?

    I started wondering... what if characters from Sesame Street appeared in The Muppets at Walt Disney World? What do you think they should have done? They had previously appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas from a few years earlier, and made cameos in the Muppet movies. Then again, I think this...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    I wonder how Mokey got Convincing John to agree to convince the other Fraggles to swear off eating doozer sticks. Could she have convinced him?

    New Muppet CD coming for Christmas

    Another thing to think about: Although The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Muppets Wizard of Oz soundtracks had instrumental tracks credited to The Electric Mayhem (Naptime only had a few words in the movie version, and was all instrumental in the soundtrack), those were soudntracks to visual...

    were the test pilots made in 1968?

    We know that there were seven test pilots made before the show premiered. However, I wonder if any or all of the test pilots were made in 1968. After all, all/ most of them failed to test audiences, and it would have been a little bit soon to produce these and produce episodes of the show, not...

    Sesame Street Old School official Site

    If there are in fact more bonus features than what has been announced, then I hope that they get announced soon. It's interesting that Bruno is illustrated on the page for this. Bruno has rarely been included in official illustrations. Also, I have read that Bruno first appeared on Sesame...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I have read that the earliest News Flash segments didn't have a title card, and they when the logo was introduced, they were added to later broadcasts of the earlier news skits as well. If any of those early news skits are shown as bonus features, I hope that they are shown however they were...

    Sesame Street Old School official Site

    Last night I had a dream that the set came out, and it also came with small PVC figures of some Sesame Street characters, including Roosevelt Franklin, Bruno, and Kermit. These PVCs were smaller than the Mini Muppets released by Palisades (and weren't Palisades quality... the quality was more...

    Has anyone ever heard of PEEK? the bunny? and the video?

    The only video store in my town that had this (and a few other of those videos) closed a long time ago, so I haven't seen any of the Play-Along Videos in a long time (my local library has a copy of Mother Goose Stories, but otherwise I haven't seen these since 1994). There are a few flea markets...

    Sesame Street Old School official Site

    By saying that I Love Trash features the original Oscar, do you mean that the clip showed the original orange Oscar? If so, I guess that would prove that the version shown on Elmo's Sing-Along Guessing Game isn't the original broadcast version of the song.
