Hello everybody! 
I just joined Muppet Central and am really impressed by the amount of information that can be found here! I'm a francophone living in Montreal, and even though I couldn't speak or understand English in my youth, I frequently encountered Sesame Street, via the TV shows and the (translated) books; Grover has always been my favourite character (hence my nickname). I wanted to share with you a project that I'm presently working on.
As part of my doctoral studies, I'm preparing a little book on several aspects of popular culture - it will include chapters on comic books (both American and European), video games… and, if my wish comes through, Grover. I have already jotted down several pages of notes about this. My problem is that I don't have access to most of Grover's classic moments from the 1970s and 1980s, and thus I can't really delve into the character's whole "career". My collection of Grover skits on VHS or DVD is ridiculously meagre, being limited to the excellent A Celebration of Me Grover DVD.
So here is my question: would some fervent Sesame Street fans be willing to trade me either SS episodes from the 1970s/1980s/early 1990s, or home-made tape(s) with many Grover sketches? I know that buying such tapes is not permitted on these forums, so we could arrange a trade of some sort (I have several non-Muppet comics, albums and books that could interest some of you...). I don't want to profit in any way from these tapes: I'm interested in them as a fan and as a writer!
Needless to say, I will credit those of you who provided me with Grover material – and the Muppet Central web site itself – in the final version of my book!
Can you help me…? Don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested!
