Whoever wrote that must not know CTW is now Sesame Workshop.

Well Let's not even worry about that while we honor a CTW member.

My heart goes out to Thurman's family and friends. Sesame Street will never be the same without him!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Teeny Little Superguy!"

Sounds like he had a great career, RIP Jim!

He was the Teeny Little Superguy?! I LOVED that segment!!!

I guess this means no more Christopher Clumsy either

He also did the voice for Christopher Clumsy.Now we'll never see those segments again.

I've never heard of Jim Thurman until I read this thread.

Me neither. Though I was very familiar with the characters he voiced.

He was a really great writer it he wrote for this show. But him as well as his genious talent will be heavily missed.

 

[Drtooth]

Yeah... this is pretty sad news. Especially since he worked so long with the series, and was now making a large scale comeback with Sesame Street, with old school style skits made in the last couple of years and Bob's introductions.

He will be missed.

I wonder if he ever wrote any of the main street stories or Muppet segments, or if he just wrote animated segments. It would have been cool if he performed the voice of a Muppet character.
