I found it amusing that in Christmas Eve On Sesame Street, when Ernie finds one of Bert's paperclips lying around, he vows to get him something that will keep them from getting lost again, and then he tosses the paperclip over his shoulder!

Definitely not a big deal.

I don't think Ruth was in that 70s clip, just another woman that looks similar

The original Gordon passed away around 20 years ago

That's been there for a while

It is a bit odd, but I didn't know myself, and I had Googled about him not too long ago... So, apparently, unless you happen to follow him on Facebook (which seems so few did), there was literally no way of knowing about his passing.

Maybe the only real announcement was on his Facebook page?

That's news to me as well. He seemed to have lived a happy and peaceful life judging by his posts.

Over here, the 7am showing was the same as the 4pm episode the day before. At 9am, I think the "new" episode would air. That one would be shown the following day at 4pm, then again at 7am the next morning. So, it was an interesting cycle

He was definitely in a lot more than 156 episodes. I mean, the first season alone is 130 shows, and he's in the majority of those

A little off topic but I found an episode of a show called The Candy Apple News Company starring Matt after Sesame Street

It was confusing to me as a child because I had the '74 issue of Sesame Street 1 album and it featured what looks like a season 4 (maybe season 5) promo, and the back cover even said Hal Miller as Gordon, but they were obviously referring to the current TV show and not who appeared on the...

I wonder if anyone associates Hal Miller as being "their" Gordon. I've now seen a lot of episodes with him, and he just didn't seem like he was fit for the role... It was an okay stop gap between Matt and Roscoe but he had no "spark".

Couldn't have said it better myself

Not quite, they showed still screenshots from a few episodes while Big Bird is reminiscing about his departed friend. 3 of the stills are actually from one episode, where Big Bird has Mr. Hooper imagine that they're visiting the beach... And, oddly enough, in 1997, they discussed Mr. Hooper...

They played "I'm Pretty" and "Who You Lookin' At, Tiger" a lot after he left the show.

After 1790, he would not be seen again,not counting the summer repeats.

He did for the Christmas album, maybe he didn't know the character had been used previously

I know he's credited as Hardhead on the Christmas album, but I don't think he did the voice in the sketches on the show. On Muppet Wiki, it says "performer unknown"
