Lack of charachters in the early 1980's

[JLG]

I've wondered about this very thing a lot. Bert and Grover show up in the season 8 premiere, but not Ernie. Somone on YouTube posted a late '80s street segment of Ernie talking to Snuffy. How often did this kind of thing happen?

And The Frog. Does anyone here know when Kermit stopped appearing on the Street (not counting Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, or his latter-day 2001 appearance in the Hurricane storyline.)

I don't know, as I didn't watch it then, but I would guess that there must have been a huge hiatis of Kermit after Jim Henson died.

Well, I think that was just an insert, not part of a street story or plot (though it seems like a lot of early episodes don't really have plots). Perhaps when Jim Henson was performing for that season he was able to perform on the street set (he did still perform in street scenes in such 1980s television specials as Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, The Sesame Street Special, and Big Bird in China).
