Same Muppeteer Having Two Characters in One Scene

[BEAR]

Yeah, though Oscar's furry and a bit similar to other SS monsters, I think it's pretty clear that he's just a "Grouch." As for Jim not having a monster character to perform. I doubt that. Sure, he didn't perform any regular commonly known monsters, but I'm sure he performed some extra monsters in the background if not on "Sesame Street" at least on "The Muppet Show." That is a good observation, though.

Yeah, I just meant regular principle monster characters, not backgrounds.

I believe that grouch is a sub-species of monster.

Do yuo mean like how a farckle is a sub-species of monster (and possibly bird)?

Yes, Frackles too I think. They are the lizard versions of monsters.

It gets a little confusing because it's sometimes implied that some humans could be grouches too.

Or you could put it another way. Sometimes some humans act just like this sub-species of monster known as grouches in their personality habits.

I just realized today that with some of the recent cast changes, it will be easier to put our three favorite blue monsters together: Grover (Eric Jacobson), Cookie (David Rudman), and Herry (Jerry Nelson).

Also, did you ever notice how Jim Henson was the only Muppeteer not to have a monster character. Everyone else did.

Frank Oz: Grover & Cookie Monster
Jerry Nelson: Herry Monster
Martin Robinson: Telly
Kevin Clash: Elmo & Natasha
Carroll Spinney: Oscar
Fran Brill: Zoe
Carmen Osbahr: Rosita
David Rudman: Humphrey
Joey Mazzarino: Ingrid (I think)

That is true, but Oscar isn’t a monster; he’s a Grouch, huge difference

Do you guys usually associate Oscar as a monster? I know he was in the original "C is for Cookie" chorus, but I always thought it was b/c they were short on enough furry characters to fill the background and wasn't really a monster?

I have never associated Oscar as a monster, only a Grouch.
