They don't even call him "Telly Monster" anymore. It's always just plain "Telly". And we have heard "Elmo Monster" before.
Yeah, I guess "Telly Monster" doesn't really work since he's not into television anymore. I'm really surprised that they didn't change his whole name.

You know, I've never seen one skit or even picture of Telly with the funny eyes and a passion for TV. I'm very curious as to how he looked and acted.

I wish there was a pic of the old Telly. I really would like to see him.

They should call them CREATURES, I never feel good calling them Monsters, they Have never seemed like monsters to me.
perhaps your definition of a monster is being unrulely, wild or whatever witcch is probably most people's idea of one and some have been that but some aren't that way. interesting observation.
