In Muppet Wiki's page for Monsterpiece Theater, it is said that the room where Alistar Cookie hosted changed sometime in the 1990s. Is this true? I've been watching some early Monsterpeice Theater segments, as well as some 1990s segments, and I can't really tell. In the 1980s the room looked a bit lighter brown, and in the 1990s it was darker brown, but this could just be a difference in lighting. Also, in the 1980s Alistar's chair was a yellow-brown color, and in the 1970s, it switched to green. But the room had the same basic look, with a window and bookshelf in the same areas. And of course there were different rooms in Chariots of Fur and Upstairs, Downstairs.

To my knowledge, it changed about two times...

In the very first Monsterpiece Theater sketch "Upstairs - Downstairs", it looked as if he was simply hosting from a living room, and he was sitting in a rocking chair.

After that, he was hosting from a more simplistic version of the room when all know and love, it pretty much wasn't even a real room, it was just a backdrop painted to look like the corner of the room, but like I said, it was a bit more simplistic compared to the one we all know and love.
