Wow --just checked it out and it's going to be a priceless reference when all plumped out!
Here's a tidbit --about Frazzle (I never knew his name --thanks!) , my alter-ego avitar. He performed in one of my favorite song and dance numbers ever --Fuzzy and Blue. It was Herry, Grover and Cookie dancing a la vaudeville about the virtues of being blue. Then Frazzle joins in and the song becomes "Fuzzy and blue...and orange!"
Cool --I'll keep checking back as the site grows.

Chuck,
We would love to add Maurice Monster to the Encyclopedia, I always liked seeing him in the background !
But we dont have a good enough picture of him.
I noticed that he made an appearance in Follow That Bird too, He can be seen when Big Bird is leaving as he goes around the corner (Maurice is up at the window).
And then in the same place when Bob and Olivia return, I think Maurice is wearing a hat too.
see ya

Here's some more info about Frazzle:
--The original Frazzle was built from the Tall Orange Anything Muppet. The fur was sort of designed like an orange furry jacket that covered most of him (his bare "skin" can be seen when his tongue flaps around and around his waist). He's best described by his theme song, "Frazzle" (written and performed in 1975), which is also performed by the Frazzletones (one of the members being Maurice Monster). Near the late 80s he sort of disappeared, but appeared in the background from time to time. He was re-introduced in the mid-90s as a young monster, about as old as Elmo and Zoe. In one sketch we even seen his mother. He carried a little yellow baby blanket and covered himself with it when he was scared or shy, and he is often taken care of by Gina when she used to own a day care center around the corner. He was an interesting way to show how something so different-looking can be misunderstood. Later, in 2001, Frazzle would be rebuilt, not designed to be worn by an AM, as a separate puppet. Some interesting notes about the refined version is that his mouth was bigger and more visible, and given four fingers on each hand.
--I think he made his debut on "Beat the Time" in 1971 as a rabid monster attached to a chain.
--One of the few times that he can be understood is in a 1993 episode where he is rejected by the Furry Arms Hotel to bring in his pet human, Pickles. He was performed by Marty Robinson for this appearance, and had a well-refined accent. Here's his line:
"Well, it's just not fair! What am I supposed to do, leave little Pickles at home when I'm travelling on business? Come, Pickles, we'll go to another hotel!"

You know that I felt worried if the bios of Sherlock Hemlock and Sam the Robot are not going to be on site. But some day or today, I will make a bio about Harvey Kneeslapper as if I want to do it.
