Sesame Street Muppet Morsels

[minor muppetz]

Additional 406 morsels:

The Count Counts Blocks

For some reason, Ernie and Bert decided to make a block pyrimid away from their apartment.

This is the first appearance of The Count.

The Count is performed by Jerry Nelson.

In his first few appearances, The Count had powers that caused people to not get in the way of his counting. This was soon dropped.

It seems ambiguous as to whetehr Bert already knows the Count in this skecth or not.

Since 2002, The Count has hosted a daily segment called The Number of the Day.

Similar to how the last two sketches were about other numbers than the number of the day, this skit teaches kids to count to 6, instead of 2.

Ernie is upset over his pyrimid being taken apart, but the blocks aren't very big. Couldn't he just put them back together easily?

The Count was once a DJ for his own album, The Count Counts.

The Counts full name is Count von Count.

Snuffy and Kids

Mr. Snuffleupagus finally looks the way he does today.

Although the adults never saw Mr. Snuffleupagus yet and believe that he is just an imaginary friend of Big Bird's, Mr. Snuffleupagus could regularly be seen by the kids.

Mr. Snuffleupagus was also seen by Julie Andrews in the television special Julie on Sesame Street.

The adults don't believe in Mr. Snuffleupagus, but they believe in giant birds, monsters, talking letters, numbers, and food, and all other kinds of weird stuff.

A few years after Mr. Snuffleupagus "became real" to the adults, he was given a younger sister, Alice.

Oddly enough, after the adults finally saw him, it no longer became hard for the adults to see Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Me

Me was written by Joe Raposo.

The gren girl who sings this song was voiced by Marylin Sokol.

Marylin Sokol first performed for the Muppets in the Jim Henson special The Great Santa Claus Switch. While performing in that special, she realised that she wasn't a very good puppeteer, but Jim Henson allowed her to occassionally perform voices on Sesame Street.

In 1977, Marylin Sokol performed the voice of Alice Otter in Jim Henson's special Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.

Marylin Sokol is also an actress.

The spanish boy in this sketchw as vocied by Emillio Degardo (Luis).

Grover has sung this song in a number of Sesame Street albums.

Oscar the Grouch has a car called the Sloppy Jaloppy.

Hal Miller only played Gordon for two years.

One of the biggest visual differences between Matt Robinson and Hal Miller is that Matt Robinson had a mustache, and Hal Miller doesn't.

Roscoe Orman, who played Gordon after Hall Miller, has a mustache, like Matt Robinson, but no hair.

In 1985, Gordon and Susna adopted a child, Miles.

In 1989, Luis and Maria had a child, Gabriel, AKA Gabbi.

There have been a lot of segments where a drawing is made and the viewer has to guess the drawing.

 

[minor muppetz]

Here are more morsels for 406:

Heavy and Light

In addition to this skit, Grover has also helped Kermit demonstrate the difference between heavy and light.

Elmo and Telly Monster once sang a song called Heavy and Light.

It's interesting that Grover couldn't even pull the feather off Big Bird's head.

Feathers have come off Big Bird in the past.

Big Birds feathers are made from turkey feathers, dyed yellow.

The feathers are put in boxes, with makre dletters, some of which are for feathers that aren't good enough to use.

The Big Bird suit comes in two pieces. The legs are arrached to orange pants that the performer wears, while the top is a seperate piece.

Sam the Robot

This is the first appearance of Sam the Robot, who appeared on Sesame Street from 1972 untill 1975.

Sam was performed by Jerry Nelson.

Other full-body Muppets on Sesame Street include Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Bruno the Trashman, Barkley, Alice Snuffleupagus, and an Elephant, whose name varies depending on the scene.

Each international version of Sesame Street has a full-body Big Bird-like character.

In A Sesame Street Christmas Carol, a similar robot, iSam, appeared as the ghost of christmas future.

Susan jokes about Sam chasing after a total stranger. Not a very good example for a childrens show.

Sam plans on meeting a cement mixer for lunch. The name Shirley was also used as the punchline for a skit about two creatures, The Geefle and The Gonk. Both wanted a nectarne from the nectarine tree, but The Geefle couldn't bend his elbows, and the Gonk was too small to reach necktarines, so the Geefle picked the nectarines, and the Gonk fed some to The Geefle. They then decided to call what they did something; The Gonk wanted to call it cooperation, while the Geefle wanted to call it Shirley.

Here is Your Life

Here is Your Life was a parody of This is Your Life.

There have been multiple Here is Your Life segments, celebrating the lifes of many animate versions of inanimate objects, such as a shoe.

The Oak Tree in this sketch was performed by Jerry Nelson.

Guy Smiley's loud voice was so hard on Jim Hensons throat that all of the dialogue from Guy Smiley's segments, including those of others, was recorded before the skits were tapped, so that alternate takes could be made without strainning Jim Henson's throat.

Another case of a performer having trouble with a voice was Mel Blanc, whose throat often hurt whenever voicing Yosimite Sam, so whenever a Yosimite Sam cartoon was made, Mel Blanc would record Yosimite Sam's lines last.

The fact that the audio is pre-recorded allows for performers to record voices for many characters in the same skit.

Granny Fannie Nesslerode was performed by Jim Henson. She was one of the few female characters that Jim Henson voiced.

The sun is voiced by Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz voiced the cloud.

Frank Oz probably performed both the sun and the cloud.

The trees friends who became a chair and table apparantly weren't hurt from becomming other objects. But we'll never know!

A newer game show host, Sonny friendly, later hsoted an updated version of Here is Your Life, called The New Here is Your Life.

More 406 morsels:

Oscar's warthog introduction

Oscar has a few pets himslef, including a worm, Slimey, and several elephants, including one named Fluffy.

Sesame Street has had film segments for many real animals, including warthogs, aardvarks, pigs, and gibbons.

There have been a number of different pigs on Sesame Street. Some were made from the hot pink anything muppets, who stood up like a human would, and some were specifically built and walked on four legs, like real pigs.

Contrary to popular belief, Miss Piggy has never appeared on Sesame Street.

Running is good excersize.

Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus once had a race. Big Bird won.

The race was judged by Fred Rogers, who had to leave before Snuffy could finish the race, and Snuffy didn't believe that Mr. Rogers judged the race.

Grover and Herry once raced in a Monsterpiece Theater segment, called Chariots of Fur.

Chris and the Alphabeats once performed a song titled Exit.

Grover's Resturaunt

Fat Blue is usually served by Grover no matter where he goes.

In A Celebration of Me, Grover!, Grover served at his own ceremony!

As a rule, Frank Oz does not let Grover speak with contractions. If contractions are included in a script, he has Grover speak differently.

However, Grover has used contractions in many of the songs that he has sung.

It would be hard to show Grover or Fat Blue picking up a spoon without editing.

If a fly and a frog switched places, then Kermit better watch out!

Some of Big Bird's attempts to prove Snuffy's existence include: taking a picture of him (but the adults thought it was a big rug with a furry rope attached), getting the adults to look at him when he was far behind them (but a fountain that was in front of Snuffy quickly came on when the adults looked), and having Snuffy accompany the adults to the movies (Snuffy came and sat behind the adults after the movie began, the adults didn't want to turn their heads, and Snuffy had to leave before the movie was over).

Season 4 Classic Cuts

Sesame Street News: Rupunzel

The opening music for Sesame Street News is titled Kermit News Theme and was written by Joe Raposo.

The Newsflash logo has changed over the years, but it always had the same basic look.

Many of the news segments began with Kermit being unaware of being on camera and talking to somebody off-screen.

In a few skits, he was facing backwards from the camera.

Mnay of Kermits news reports invovled fairy tales or nursery rhymes, but Kermit has also somehow managed to go back in time in some of his news reports, to interview George Washingtons father, Christopher Columbus, and to witness the very first day of school in history.

Two characters who Kermit often interviewed were Don Music and Dr. Nobel Price.

Prince Charming looks identical to Guy Smiley, but is a completely different character.

Prince Charmng was performed by Frank Oz.

Rupunzel was performed by Jerry Nelson.

Jerry Nelson was also the Sesame Street News announcer. In fact, Jerry Nelson often performed Muppet announcers.

Witches Cooperate

The three witches in this segment are all performed by men.

The lavendar witch was performed by Jerry Nelson.

The blue witch was performed by Jim Henson.

The green witch was performed by Richard Hunt.

Richard Hunt first performed with The Jim Henson Company in the 1970 special The Great Santa Claus Switch.

He joined the cast of Sesame Street in 1971 or 1972, but was first credited in 1972.

On Sesame Street, Richard Hunt went on to perform such characters as Gladys the Cow, Don Music, Sully, Forgetful Jones, and Placedo Flammingo.

From 1984-1985, Richard Hunt performed Elmo, who was originally performed by Brianm Meehl.

Richard Hunt didn't feel comfortable with performing Elmo, and asked Kevin Clash to take over.

On The Muppet Show, Richard Hunt performed characters such as Scooter, Janice, and Beaker.

Richard Hunt performed on Sesame Street untill 1991, and died of aids in 1992.

The Song of the Count

Some of The Counts other songs include The Batty Bat, Count Up to Nine, and Lambaba.

The first Count script was written by Norman Stiles. When Jon Stone first read that script, he wrote a note, saying "good character, bad bit".

The Count has had two girlfriends; One was The Countess Darling von Darling. The other was Countess Von Backwards.

The Coutn has appeared alongside such celebrities as Harry Belafonte and Susan Sarandon.

Lost Paperclips

Two of Bert's favorite things to collect are bottlecaps and paper clips.

John John's full name is John Williams.

John John first appeared on Sesame Street when he was two years old.

John John sang on the Sesame Street LIVE! album.

John John has appeared in memorable skits with Grover and Herry Monster.

In the television special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, John John was reunited with Herry Monster.

Bert's Bust

There was a similar sketch in which Ernie painted a picture of Bert, only to draw things that Bert does not have, like glasses, long curly hair, and a beard.

This sketch has a classic ending gag, which originated in a sketch from one of the test pilots, and has been done afew more times over the years.

Bert's nose was held on by a t-pin.

Look closely as Ernie puts the nose on the statue and you can see the pin that held the nose onto Bert's face.

Season 4 Closing Credits Crawl

This closing credits sequence was illustrated.

In 1992, a closing credits sequence with computer animation was produced.

There have been a number of Sesame Street book series, includign The Sesame Street Library, The Sesame Street Treasury, and The Sesame Street Dictionary.

Notice that Grover is the onyl Muppet in this sequence to be seen more than once.

 

[minor muppetz]

episode 536 morsels

opening sequence

This episode was first broadcast on November 19, 1973.

Jim Henson initially didn't want to allow for licensing of the Muppets, but his manager, Bernie Brillstein, told him that sales from merchandise could help him earn the money needed to finance big projects that Jim Henson wanted to work on, such as The Dark Crystal.

Jim Henson himself used to approve of all Muppet products made, to make sure they were good quality products.

Many TV shows and movies have style guides, used for toy companies to refference how characters are supposed to look.

Maria would later get a job at the Fix-It Shop, helping Luis.

From 2002 untill 2006, it was turned into a Mail-It Shop. In 2006, it went back to being a Fix-It Shop, with no explanation given.

Caroll Spinney does not allow pictures to be taken of him wearing only half of the Big Bird suit.

From 1993 untill 1998, the street extended around the corner, past Big Bird's nest area.

The "around the corner" area included a dance studio, a day care, a hotel, and a thrift shop.

Kermit Love was an extra puppeteer in the special Julie on Sesame Street.

Big Bird, Grover, and Oscar have all made guest appearances on The Electric Company.

Sesame Workshop once produced a Sesame Street/ Electric Company cross-over special, Out to Lunch.

Big Bird, Ernie, and Bert have made guest appearances on Betwen the Lions.

Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Grover, The Count, and some Anything Muppets have all made appearances on The Muppet Show.

Fat Cat

The orange guy with orange hair and a furry green suit was named Bip Bipodotta.

Bip Bipodotta's looks and voice were inspired by Mahna Mahna, an earleir Henson creation.

Mahna Mahna was created for a guest appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, where Mahna Mahna and two cow-like creatures, called Snowths, sang Mahna Mahna. That song has also been sung on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.

Bip Bipodotta was performed by Jim Henson.

The green anything muppet in this song was performed by Jerry Nelson.

The blue Anything Muppet was performed by Frank Oz.

Jim Henson voiced the lavendar anything Muppet, but since he was performing Bip Bipodotta, somebody else was performing the lavendar one.

Fat Cat was written by Joe Raposo.

A number of different Anything Muppets have been used for Bip Bipodotta over the years, including a lavendar one.

In the 1980s, Bip Bipodotta started wering sunglasses, and his outfit now included sleeves.

Other songs sung by Bip Bipodotta include Some of Us are Here, Air, Scratch My Back, and Everybodys Song.

Kermit and Joey count to 20

Most scenes where the Muppets interract with real children were unscripted.

It was not planned for Joey, the little girl in this skit, to substitute letters with Cookie Monster.

Whenever children visit the set, or appear on the show, they usually never notice that the Muppets are being performed by puppeteers, even though they are not hidden from the kids sight.

Before Sesame Street began regular production, Jim Henson encouraged Caroll Spinney to come up with some ideas for the show, and Caroll Spinney suggested that the show have unscripted conversations between the Muppets and real kids.

Grover has interracted with a lot of kids.

Bert, Ernie, Herry Monster, Cookie Monster, and The Count have also interracted with real children.

Kermit the Frog once drew a square on-screen.

Kermit interviews a kid

Here is a rare skit where Kermit, in his news reporter role, interviews a real kid.

While Kermits job as a news reporter on Sesame Street, he has also appeared in his news reporter attire on The Muppet Show and The great Muppet Caper.

Kermit appeared in his reporter attire in animated form on te short-lived television series Little Muppet Monsters.

The only official Kermit the Frog toy that was released as a Sesame Street toy was the Magic Talking Kermit, released in 1999.

More morsels from episode 536:

Fix-It Shop

The inside of The Fix-It Shop was remodled in 1980.

Luis and Maria became a couple in 1988, and got married in that same year.

Their relationship was written into the series because Sonia Manzano got pregnant, and it was decided to show Maria and Luis falling in love, getting married, and then having a kid.

Emilio Degardo also appeared regularly on Lou Grant.

Jazz #2

For the first few weeks of the first season, new Jazz cartoons premiered on the mondya and tuesday episodes of those weeks.

The 2 segment was first shown in the first episode, the 3 segment premiered in the second episode, the 4 segment premiered in the sixth episode, the 5 segment premiered in the seventh episode, and so on.

The Jazz cartoons were shown regularly untill 1991.

The popularity of Tickle Me Elmo led to such toys as Toss 'n Tickle Me Elmo, Tickle Me Elmo Surprise, and TMX Elmo.

It also led to Tickle Me toys of Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Ernie.

In 2004, a toy company called Fun-4-All planned on releasing a collection of Sesame Street action figures, but the company soon went bankrupt before the figures could be released.

Later that year, Palisades Toys, who had been making Muppet action figures at the tme, got the licnese to make Sesame Street figures, but they soon faced similar financial problems before the toys could be released.

Ernie and Bert at the movies

Ernie and Bert have been to the movies in a few different skits.

Notice that Fat Blue already has angry eyes before Ernie starts making noise.

Fat Blue also does not have his mustache in this skit.

If Fat Blue is a customer at this movie theater, does that mean that Grover works at this particular theater?

The usher was performed by Jerry Nelson.

There's a Bird on Me

There's a Bird on Me was written by Joe Raposo.

Big Bird once made a cameo in a Sesame Street cartoon segment called The Nobel Ostrich.

The first Sesame Street Live show produced was Big Bird and the Case of the Missing Rara Avias.

The number 0 did not sponsor the show untill the 1980s.

A lot of different Muppets have favorite numbers. Kermit's is 6 (and sometimes 9). Grover's is 2. Bert's is 6.

Bert's favorite letter is W.

One of These Things

One of These Things was written by Joe Raposo and Jon Stone.

Northern Calloway sang vocals in this particular version of the song.

 

[minor muppetz]

More morsels from 536:

How Do You Do?

How Do You Do? was written by Joe Raposo.

Lena Horne has made three appearances on Sesame Street.

In one of those other appearances, she qaccompanied Kermit in the song Bein' Green.

In another appearance, she sang The Alphabet Song with the Anything Muppets.

Lena Horne also made a guest appearance on The Muppet Show.

In that appearance, one of the things she did was sing the song Sing, which was written for Sesame Street.

Currently, Grover appears in a daily segment called Global Grover.

One of the most famous books featuring Grover is The Monster at the End of This Book.

Other Grover books include Grover and the Everything in the Whole Wide World Museum, The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover, and Grover Learns to Read.

There have been a few albums that focus on Grover, including Grover Sings the Blues, The Best of Grover, and A Celebration of Me, Grover!

Grover's Chin-Ups

A clip from this sketch can be seen in the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

This sketch doesn't teach kids to count to 2 once, but 3 times.

So technically, Grover performs six chin-ups in this sketch.

If Big Bird really wants the audience to know the number 2 better, then why doesn't he do the chin-ups?

Who You Looking at Tiger? was sung by Northern Calloway.

Northern's father, Cab Calloway, made two guest appearances on Sesame Street, appearing alongside the Two-Headed Monster.

Beat the Time

There have been at least four Beat the Time segments.

Other Beat the Time contestants have included Grover, The Count, and Elmo.

The hand of the clock was actually moved by hand. A crew member had to get on a latter behind the set and move the hand himself.

Guy Smiley kept making new appearances untill 1990, when his performer, Jim Henson, died of pneumonia.

After that, Guy Smiley was retired for a long time.

He later resurfaced in the computer game Let's Make a Word, where he was voiced by Dan Reardon.

Eric Jacopson recently performed him, in a video for a museum exhibet called Sesame Street Presents The Body, and in a PBS promo called Ready Set Learn!

Frazzle, the orange monster in this sketch, was performed by Jerry Nelson.

Jerry Nelson also performed the old man, while Frank Oz performed the train conductor.

Cookie Monster also operated a train in the song The Ballad of Casey McPhee.

 

[minor muppetz]

More morsels for 536:

Luis and Exit

Luis seems to have gotten stuck in this room.

Shouldn't he just try to remember how he got there in the first place?

Luis' hair has gotten shorter over the years.

Emillio Degardo also appeared in the role of Senor Zero in a number of sketches.

Follow the Leader

Big Bird sure does have a good memory, remembering the adults promise to play "follow the leader".

If the adults had just waited for Mr. Snuffleupagus, they would have finally seen him.

Why does David get to be the leader? It was Big Bird's idea to play the game.

Alphabet Bates was mentioned a number of times during the early years.

If the cast wasn't instructed to close their eyes, then they would have seen Mr. Snuffleupagus when they turned around in a circle.

Alien Alphabet

The lavendar alien in this sketch was performed by Jim Henson.

The green alien was performed by Frank Oz.

Other examples of anything Muppets being used as animal characters include: Captain Vegetable, a rabbit super hero; Tito and J.P., of the Miami Mice sketches; The Geefle and the Gonk, two aliens; and the three little pigs.

The lavendar and fat blue anything muppets had removable heads, which could be attached to other bodies, like Sammy the Snake (for the lavendar one) or a spider (for the fat blue one).

Harlem Globtrotters

The basketball players in this skit are known as The Harlem Globetrotters.

David's wishes

During the early years, Maria and Luis were just friends, and Maria and David were a couple instead.

When Sonia Manzano got pregnant, it was decided to have Maria get married and then have a baby on the show.

For some reason, it was decided to have her marry Luis instead of David.

Northern Calloway has performed the voices of a few Muppets, including Same Sound Brown.

The boat that David wishges for is similar to what happened in a skecth called The Monsters Three Wishes.

David should have just wished to get off the island.

 

[minor muppetz]

Here are some more morsels for 536.

Clap, Clap, Clap

This number features most of the Anything Muppets.

Established Anything Muppets in this song include Fat Blue, Prairie Dawn, Roosevelt Franklin, Roosevelt Franklins Mother, and Farley.

In this song, Fat Blue was performed by Jim Henson, rather than Jerry Nelson.

The split screen effect allows for more puppets to be used without needing more performers.

Jack Rabbit

The music in this song was written by Joe Raposo.

Some Muppet rabbits on Sesame Street include Benny Rabbit, Proffessor D. Rabbit, and Preston Rabbit.

Doin' the Pigeon

This segment has been released on many different videos. However, all other video releases edit out the beginning, where Bert shows pigeon home movies.

Bert is interested in pigeons, oatmeal, bottle caps, and paper clips.

Doin' the Pigeon was written by Joe Raposo.

This is the first time that Bert's legs are seen.

Multiple performers dressed in black and performed Bert, so that his whole body could be seen dancing without the puppeteers being seen.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Jim Henson wanted to produce a broadway show starring the Muppets. This idea was to have many puppets appear in full-bdy form, with the puppeteers dressed in black inf ront of a black background.

The book Sesame Street Unpaved features pictures from Doin' the Pigeon in a style similar to that of a flip book.

Muppet characters whose legs have been shown include Kermit the Frog, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Telly Monster, Prairie Dawn, and more.

Three of These Kids

This is a variation of One of These Things.

Lyrics were changed from "One of these things just doesn't belong" to "One of these kids is doing his thing", so as to not be seen as discriminating.

Most kids to visit the Sesame Street set don't even notice the performers when they see their facorite characters.

Besides Ernie, Kermit has also drawn objects on-screen, such as a K, an M, a 2, a triangle, and a square.

Ernie seems to want to have Bert stand still so that he can magicaly trace his face.

Why doesn't Ernie just trace his own face?

Many of the early season premier episodes were sponsored by the number 2.

2 must feel that it's a priority to sponsor season premiers.

Either that, or 2 pays the most for a season premier.

Letters and numbers have also occassionally sponsored Sesame Street books and specials.

 

[minor muppetz]

And now, finally, let's end this fan fiction now by listing fictional morsels for the Season 5 Classic Cuts that I know information about.

Nasty Dan

Johnny Cash has made a few appearances on Sesame Street.

When he made one of his appearances, the entire cast and crew wore black.

Johnny Cash once guest starred on The Muppet Show.

A biography movie about Johnny Cash, called Walk the Line, was recently released in theaters.

In the early 1980s, there was a country album called Sesame Country.

Twiddlebugs

The Twiddlebugs live in Ernie's window box.

The voices of the Twiddlebugs were sped-up.

Papa Twiddlebug was performed by Jim Henson.

Mama Twiddlebug was performed by Frank Oz.

Sister Twiddlebug was performed by Jerry Nelson.

Brother Twiddlebug was performed by Richard Hunt.

The Twiddlebugs are actually the same size as the average Muppet. Matting and oversized props help make them appear to be small.

Minatures are used in wide shots of Ernie watching the Twiddlebugs.

In 2006, the Twiddlebugs appeared in computer animated form on Sesame Street.

A Flower Grows

This is one of many plays directed by Prairie Dawn.

Prairie Dawn is performed by Fran Brill.

Some of Prairie Dawn's other plays have icluded Let's Make a Face and The Life of a Butterfly.

Prairie's pageants often feature the main cast of Sesame Street.

In this play, Ernie plays the role of Bart. Bart is also the name of Bert's identical twin brother.

Bart is also the name of a popular Simpsons character.

Currently, Prairie Dawn co-hosts The Letter of the Day with Cookie Monster.

The Monsters Three Wishes

This sketch has also been adapted in storybook form, in The Sesame Street Library.

It has also appeared in audio form, with Herbert Birdsfoot narrarating and Oscar playing the role of the genie.

The Genie in this sketch was performed by Jim Henson.

Why is Cookie Monster brushing his teeth behind a brick wall? If this is supposed to take place in Cookie's home, then why does he have a brick wall at home?

Cookie asks for a truck to put his cookies in. Shouldn't he also wish for keys and a license so that he can drive the truck?

Could Cookie Monster just tell the Genie that the size wasn't what he had in mind?

Cookie Monster later became the host of Monsterpiece Theater, where he went by the name Allistar Cookie.

In one skit, Cookie Monster revealed that, before he started eating cookies, his name was Sid.

Super Grover

Super Grover is an obvious parody of Superman. Grover's secret identity, Grover Kent, is a parody of Clark Kent, Supermans true identity.

Jerry Juhl came up with the idea for Super Grover.

Super Grover has often appeared outside of the Super Grover skecthes.

In 1978, Super Grover starred in his own book, The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover.

Super Grover has made appearances in both Sesame Street movies.

When Palisades Toys got the license to release Sesame Street action figures, a Super Grover exclusive was the only figure that ended up getting released.

The girl in this sketch was performed by Jerry Nelson.

The ending of this sketch is similar to the ending of a Sesame Street song called Telephone Rock.
