It was shown in the mid to late 90s (season 27 to 30; I have it uploaded on YouTube).

So...... I just found out apparently the song "That Makes Three" never actually aired on the show. :smirk:

And of course, assuming the English master tape still exists in the archives, Sesame Workshop shows no interest in releasing it. :rolleyes:

And I think the main character in True Mud was an Orange Gold Muppet.

While on the topic of Anything Muppets, I noticed Herbert Birdsfoot's face looked a bit different in his "M/W lecture" as opposed to other sketches he did. If I recall, in the "Counting three blocks" and "Hopping poem" sketches, his mustache and glasses look positioned closer together, while it was likely not the case in the "M/W lecture". I also think he looked bigger in the "M/W" sketch, while he looked a little smaller in the three-part "ET Family" sketch. Were there two different Lavender Muppets in existence?

Here are some illustrations of Herbert's faces used in two separate sketches:


As you can see, his mustache and glasses are so close apart in the bottom image (3 blocks) as opposed to the top image (M/W). Has anybody ever noticed this? If I recall, his likeness on the lower image is most commonly used.

I’m going to blow your mind, he is anything Muppet and they didn’t really care about him being rearranged.

In “Long Time, No See,” I know it’s a mystery on who was the third back up performer besides Cerf and Hunt, but to be honest, I’m just convinced it was those two who did the backing vocals, and the trio was just there for the sake of show, so any one of them could have just been voiceless (since it was in unison).

I thought Muppet Wiki said one of them was Jeff Moss.

Moss wasn't in season 13.

EDIT: Okay, my stupid 17 year old self put that back in 2010 but it was taken out in 2011. Yeah, I dunno why I thought Moss was in there.

So I was happy to see 3304 surface on YouTube, mainly with curiosity on seeing the final airing of “Proud” by Little Jerry (I was also certain I’d possibly seen this episode as a kid because I thought I saw the song on the show at least once, and the way the segment transitioned from the Lillian proud cartoon to the 40 pigs cartoon also looked familiar), but anyway, I was surprised to see “Danger’s No Stranger” actually cut pretty early before the picture exploded into snow. Curious to see if other episodes cut early on that segment.
