The Salesman was voiced by Frank Oz, and he was the whispery Anything Muppet who wore a black hat and trenchcoat. He was on in the early 1970's and asked Ernie once: "Would you like to buy an O?"

Same Sound Brown was voiced by Northern Calloway, aka David, and was a purplish Anything Muppet with a curly hair. He was kinda like Roosevelt Franklin, only crazier and wackier. He appeared in the mid 70's.

o, you mean Lefty. He is on the site, take a look. And now I remember Same Sound Brown. He is in Roosevelt's classroom.

Was Same Sound Brown the Muppet who appeared with a tall orange cylinder headed AM that talked about imagining shapes? This was a sketch where first they pictured circles, the orange man AM pictured a perfect circle and then the other Muppet imagined circles all around him in a crazy pattern. They then moved on to triangles and the wild Muppet imagined the triangle as a guitar. And finally the orange man AM asked the other Muppet if he knew what a square was, to which the other Muppet replied: "I know who a square is!" and then a square appeared around the orange man AM's face and the other Muppet said that he needed his triangle guitar back and started playing crazy music. Again, would this other Muppet be Same Sound Brown? Thanks for the help and have a good night.

You're not thinking of Simon the Soundman, are you?

ssetta, are you talking to me? If so, then no, I'm not talking about Simon the Sounds Man. The sketch in question featured two different AM Muppets; one was an AM with an orange cylinder head, and the other Muppet had this kind of African-American voice to him. The sketch's quite old from like the 70's I'd say. Like I said above, they're trying to use their imagination to teach different shapes. First it's circles; with the orange AM picturing a perfect circle and the other guy thinks up a swirl of different circles; then it's the triangl where the orange AM thinks of a perfect triangle and the other guy imagines lots of different triangles and turns one into a guitar; and finally it's the square where the other guy pictures a square around the orange AM's head and asks for his guitar back. Would this be Same Sound Brown featured in that sketch I'm mentioning? Thanks for your help and have a good day.

I don't recall those muppets having names. Well, not in the skit you're talking about with imagining shapes.

OK then, in that case...
Please describe what Same Sound Brown looks like. And remember to include as many details as possible: i.e., hair color, hair style, eye color, eyelid color, nose color and shape if applicable, skin color, wardrobe as to what pieces of clothing he wore, what coloring each of the pieces of clothing he wore were, and any other pertinent detail. Thanks for the help and have a good day.

Oh, and here's another question. Just saw the episode from Season 34 where Elmo's looking for a fish-sitter for Dorothy so that he can go to the ball game with Gordon. The point is that there's a sketch where Humphrey and Ingrid hire Fran Dresser (pardon my misspelling) as their family's nanny. Would this then qualify her to be included as part of their family, and thus part of the Sesame Street family?
Again, thanks for your help and have a good day.
