Ahem... After seeing Episode 4104, Grouch Apprentice...

Elmo's World: Rapunzel.
Was this a different character than the one in the classic News Flash segment?
If so, should she be added to the list?
And what about the prince in the bit where Elmo pretended to be Rapunzel?
Hope to hear from you guys soon and have a good day.
Both are different puppets; Rapunzel was green with blue eyelids, pink nose, and a pink dress. The Prince was a live-hand yellow AM with short brown hair, blue robe, gold crown, pointy green nose, sleepy pink eyelids, and an upper row of teeth.

So... Was this Prince different than the one performed by Joey in the episode where the ball Elmo and Zoe find turns out to be Cinderella?
If so, should they both be listed as separate entries?

And if so, should this Prince and Rapunzel be added in the Elmo's World subgrouping as new entries? Hope to hear from you guys soon and have a good day.

OK, thanks. The only last new character I gots doubts about is the "Turkey Lady" I posted over in the ML15 thread, from the SS Monster's appearance on Emero Live this past Friday night.

I'd add her. Why not?

Also, when you have 2 versions of a character like Rapunzel for example, if they are clearly different looking puppets then maybe they should have separate listing. If they look exactly the same but only have a different voice, then just add the new voice on the description of the character. That's what I would do because it is still the same character.

Well... You'll see what I've done after V 16 gets posted. BTW: Bry, what did the Turkey Lady look like?

I recorded the show and I will have to look at it again for specific details, but she was basically just a Muppet turkey with a chef's hat. She was only seen in a fairly brief segment. I will look and get back to you on this.

Back to the Countess...

I checked the pic in sesameencyclopedia. It seems like that is von Dahling that's on the show today. I thought for sure I've seen her pic labeled as 'von Backwards." Maybe somebody did make it that way, by mistake and recently corrected it. It is unusual that they'd bring back a character from the 70s, rather than use the one that's been on the show more recently. Still it would be nice to see other 'lost' characters from around that time make a comeback.

OK... Though technically not from Season 36, thought this'd be the best place to ask.

You guys know the SS VHS/DVD release titled Elmocize right? Well, it was brought to my attention that there are two AM monsters and Cyndi Lauper who call themselves "The Twister Sisters". Just asking if there's a way to individualize/separate each of the trio into individual entries for the list.
Hope to hear from you soon and have a good weekend.
