Betty Lou and Prarie Dawn Appreciation Thread

[fuzzygobo]

If Betty Lou never did anything else in the entire span of Sesame Street, she will always have a soft spot in my heart for her saga from Season One, "The Boy, the Girl, and the Jellybeans". Nicely illustrated in one of the SS storybooks, but Frank really brought her to life in this 3-part skit. (BTW, this one is WAY overdue to be viewed again. Hasn't been seen for a few decades now. Who do I have to bribe to bring this one back from Limbo?)

Betty Lou sure was wasted potential. The producers unfortunately didn't give her much of a chance to develop her character, unlike Prairie. Ditto the tomboyish, scientific-minded, and slightly ditzy yellow monster Ruby.

Man, it would be great to see Prairie on the show again, instead of a brief cameo apperance. Besides, I always wonder what would happen if Prairie met Abby.

I'm starting to think that only certain puppeteers are available on certain days, and there's a budget conflict if they get too many of them in a single episode. Fran basically only does Zoe and the occasional incidental character now. We really need more Prairie stuff on the show.

I'm so embarassed to admit that in my old age I always get the two confused

I used to get them mixed up when I was little. I miss Betty Lou...
