Classic Sesame Street Outlines- Sonic guest stars!

[crackmaster]

If you know me, I've been a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog since childhood. And I also grew up watching Sesame Street. So why not combine the two and have a dream episode of 90s Sesame Street where Sonic guest stars? That would be awesome, in my opinion.

The episode would've aired in November 1993 to promote Sonic CD, Sonic Spinball, and Sonic Chaos. Since Ghostwriter was sponsored by Sega, and Sesame Street games were released on Sega Genesis, this would be a logical conclusion. Sonic in the episode would be a puppet, looking very close to the actual character (or at least Greg Martin's US artwork), built by the Jim Henson Company and only used in this episode. His voice was provided by Jaleel White and the puppet was operated by Brian Muehl. Anyway, let's get on with the show!

A new credits sequence featuring Sonic was filmed for this episode.

In the funding, Sega is mentioned and Sonic CD, Spinball, and Chaos are promoted.

The Sonic puppet would later be destroyed in a fire in 1995. None of the Sonic segments from this episode have ever re-aired on other episodes, however the Elmo A segment and the Nirvana segment would re-air.
