I read this article a long time ago. One thing I found intersting: the writer says that he attended Muppetfest, and he talked about his experience meeting Henson on the show with some of the performers there, who apparantly remembered it, but it seems like he didn't tell anybody at Muppetfest...

I think that character looks like Gonzo, but5 Gonzo is at another area of the logo. None of the other characters were drawn twice on there. I wonder if that character is from Little Muppet Monsters. After all, some of the main characters from that show were in the logo (though it is hard to see...

Learning About Letters is my favorite Sesame Street video about the alphabet. Though it was made in 1986, none of the segments are from the 1980s. Most are either from 1969 or the early 1970s. And it features almost every main Muppet character from 1986, with the exceptions of The Count and...

Jerry Nelson performed Rupunzel. The Announcer appeared off-screen, so it's not like he was busy performing another character.

I can't really tell the difference between good and bad puppetry much (unless the bad puppetry is intentional), but I wonder how Spinney was able to be so good as Oscar. Of course, during the first season whenever Oscar was in his trash can Spinney had to perform Oscar with his left hand instead...

Caroll Spinney didn't realy talk about why he hardly had any regulars in his autobiography, but there are some things he said that seemed to contradict this. Regarding the fact that it took Jim Henson over a year to get Caroll pinney involved with the company, Spinney said that Henson asked...

I read that Sesame Street got a new producer in 1993 who didn't like rock and roll, so because of this Christopher Cerf either got fired or quit. I'm not too clear on this, but Cerf did stop working on thew show at this time.

I posted a review of All-Star Alphabet a long time ago, and now here is a link to my review: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=21705

Yes, they interracted a lot in Music Works Wonders, which was included as a bonus feature on the "What's the Name of That Song?" DVD. I read that John Tartiglia performed Hoots to a pre-recorded vocal track by Kevin Clash in that production. Aside from that, it doens't seem like it s very common...

Do you mean that Jim never felt comfortable or Caroll never felt comfortable? And by core group, do you mean get Caroll Spinney performing more characters besides Big Bird and Oscar in non-Sesame productions, like most of the other main performers (Henson, Oz, Nelson, Brill) at the time?

That's right. I'd rather see Rowlf in a Jimmy Dean sausage commercial, since he was on Dean's show.

After watching a few clips, I was wondering if anybody could tell me who performed the following characters: Cookie Monster's grandmother in the Sesame Street News: Little Red Riding Hood sketch. The Dentist in the sketch where Grover puts teeth in Kermit's mouth. I have a feeling...

I have a few questions now: 1. Were Kermit and Grover a regular duo during the first season? There is only one first season sketch with these two characters (the one where Kermit wanted Grover to get in a box), and Kermit's other lectures usually co-starred Beautiful Day Monster or Cookie...
