OK guys, now that I have your attention I'd like to finish off the list of characters for which I'm still missing descripts in order to make all the recent additions to my listings.
Here's the list of characters.

From Episodes 4067-4071.
1 Firefighter Richard (Name of human actor also needed.)
2 Mr. Noodle's Sister, Ms. Noodle (Name of human actress also needed.)
From Episodes 4072-4076.
3 King Cookie.
4 King Cookie's Royal Helper, please confirm if this was Alan in costume.
5 Gary Gills or Professor Gary gills, please confirm what this character's correct name is along with a descript.
6 Elmo's World: The Squeaky Shoes.
7 Elmo's World: The Bunny or Rabbit, who gave Elmo's TV a pair of rabbit ears.
8 The Adventures of Trash Gordon: The Giant Grumpy Guppy.
9 The characters that got knocked over by Curly Bear's loud growl on the Street.
10 The characters who appeared on the set of the Count's production of Transylvania 65000.

Additional Questions.
11 The Cute Little Animals, from Global Grover's second trip to Australia.
Should these be included as one group entry or as three separate entries?
12 The King's Horses, from Episode 4070.
Should these be included when it's been said that they were Buster and Fred?
Especially when Buster and Fred the Wonder Horse have been already added to the listings?
13 The King's Men, from Episode 4070.
Should they be added as a separate entry, or together with the King's Horses from this episode?
14 The King's Men, from the News Flash.
Should they be added with a "News Flash" adendem to distinguish these from the ones from Episode 4070?
15 The Sleddog, from Global Grover's Alaskan Winter.
Should this character be added?
If so, please provide a descript of what it looks like.
Thanks for your help, and I hope to hear from you soon on finally getting all these characters added.

Hey guys, hate to sound like a broken record... But I'd rully like to get the characters listed above added to the listings ASAP before worrying about another week's worth of new characters.
So please post any and all info on the characters listed above and help answer the remaining questions.
Thanks, and hope to hear from you guys soon.

1.Firefighter Richard, played by real-life firefighter Richard Gleason, wore a black coat and helmet. He has black hair and hazel eyes.
2. Ms. Noodle is played by Kristin Chenoweth, and she has blond pigtails and bluish-green eyes. She wore a grey vest with black marks on it, and a pink bowtie with long ends. She also wore a white shirt, grey knickers, black stockings, and black high-heeled boots.
3. King Cookie wore a gold crown with encrusted jewels, and a red cape and gold cloak, with brown fur trim. He held a gold scepter in his right hand.
4. King Cookie's "R.H." was indeed Alan Muraoka, wearing a gold garment with white frilly cuffs and collar. He wore a gold shirt with slightly puffy sleeves, and wore an apron-like gold garment with a cookie on the front (this same type of fabric is also a banner on his long horn). He wore a flat, round, brown hat with two tan diagonal stripes on one side of it, and also wore black tights and shoes.
5. Professor Gary G-I-L-L was the old Guy Smiley puppet (you could see little pegs on the back of his eyebrows that controlled them to move) with a few changes: he had larger ears, "perky" green eyelids, a sort of fat "triangular" lavendar nose, and wore a loud tan suit with a checker-like pattern, and a vaudevillian's straw hat.
6. The Squeaky Shoes were a pair of black loafers with white eyes with pink eyelids.
7. The Rabbit was a brown cartoon-like rabbit, with small eyelids and a pink nose. His ears could move with the use of control rods. His design looks like a distant relative of a naked George Rabbit from "Emmet Otter".
8. The Grumpy Guppy was a blue fish with angry eyes and fuzzy black eyelashes.
9. One was a tiny pink bird, and the other was a fat blue A.M. (not the one from Charlie's Restaurant) whose clothes were blown away by the growl! (The clothes were made to rip off by means of pieces of monofilament pulling them off.)
10. I'll have to get back to you on that later.
11. I don't think you should count them under any group listing, since they were just random Muppets put in the sketch.
12. Sesame Street has always used Fred and Buster (and the others) as "anonymous horses". A few years back, they substituted the brown horse puppet with the Buster puppet for Marshall Grover segments.
13 & 14. I think they should all be in the same grouping. Maybe the Muppet Workshop had a different opinion on the design for the recent Men than the original ones.
15. Contrasting to #11, the Sleddog could be on the list, since he was built for the sketch and had an important purpose in it. He was a grey Huskie with pink (I think) eyelids.

I've got to look over the "Global Grover" sketches to consider whether or not you should add all of the other characters that have appeared in those sketches.

Immensely huge mad props go out to MuppetDude for helping me finialize those new Sesame Street acquisitions for the ML.
If you're wondering whether to make an argument for including the Global Grover critters, consider this. Stevie Elephant and Sidney Camel, along with Ming the Peacock and Sheila the Kangaroo are already there. Though after listing those four examples just now, I think I'll drop the article "the" from the last two.
Anyway, I'll just keep the cute little animals and sleddog in mind till I hear from you again. Until tomorrow, have a great day.

Here's something to add. Gary Gills had 2 back up singers/ assistants.

One was a green am (sort of like Little Jerry or Farley) with light brown hair (and eyebrows), and he had a small red circle nose.

The other was a pink AM... his head was... well... he looked like a SS Human AM version of Fozzie Bear. His eyes and nose were exactly the same positioning as Fozzie as well. He had purple eyelids and a small yellow nose.

In fact, I think the puppeteer did an impersonation of Fozzie when he performed him.

They both, as Kermit would say, looked like Ice cream men from "Hello Dolly!" Wearing lighter colored beige (compaired to gary's) vaudevillina suits.

Sorry I couldn't help out sooner... I've been really busy lately.

You bring up a good argument, Count, but all of those animals you listed have names, whereas the others don't (unless you want to count Grover's referring to the sleddog as "Doggie").
And thanks for the addition of Gary's back-up singers, Drtooth.

All frighty then...
1 The cute little animals will be dropped and not added, unless someone comes up with a better argument for their inclusion.
Unless you think they should go in as "The Cute Little Animals", but I digress.
2 The Sleddog won't be added for the same reasons.
3 Professor Gary Gill's Backup Singers will be added.
4 The Horse, as MuppetDude suggested, that Everyone Gets Back On will be added.
Don't have anything else to ask about since I wasn't able to watch either Episode 4077 nor 4078, but if you guys have the character names and descripts then post them here and we'll chat.
Thanks and have a good day.

Ha! Finally have some new characters from this week to ask about.
Here's the list from Episode 4079.
1 The names of the members of Miles's band, including descripts of what they looked like and the names of the human actors who portrayed these roles if possible.
2 The Man in Brown.
3 The pig who flew up into the air, was its name Hickory Dickory Dare or just Hickory Dickory?
4 N*Stync.
5 Flem & M.
6 Triangle Bob Trianglepants.
Please post your replies here and hope to hear from you guys soon.

Episode 4077:
1. Elmo's World: The Bell
A gold bell with the open part turned upward. Her face is the bell's cup, and she has lidless eyes with lashes, a mole on her right cheek, and red lips on her mouth, which moves sort of like a ventriloquist's dummy's mouth.

Episode 4078:
2. The Fairy Napmother
Basically a lavendar live-hand version of Glenda the Good Witch from "The Wizard of Oz", both in clothing and facial design. She's got a green nose.

3-11. Rosita's Familia, including her papa, her mama, her abuelo (grandfather), her abuela (grandmother), her tia (aunt) Mercedes, and her primos (cousins): Paco, Pepe, Luis, and Conchita. I'll try and get these descripts later today.

12. Elmo's World: The Bed
It has a horizontally striped white mattress with a black mouth and round hemispherical eyes with eyelids. On top of the matress is a white pillow, whose face is visible from inside its pillowslip. She has a black mouth with female eyes with lashes. I believe that the bed also has a white blanket on top.

13. Elmo's World: The Nest
A nest with a mouth and brown eyelids with lashes. Inside the nest is a small lavendar bird with an orange beak (a baby Flooter-Tooter).

Episode 4079:
14-16. Miles's Band
I'm not too good at describing people, so there's probably someone out there who could help me.

17. The Man in Brown
A tall orange A.M. with dark brown hair and eyebrows, a brown suit, a light brown shirt, a brown spotted necktie, a light brown nose, brown eyelids, and brown-rimmed glasses.

18. Hickory Dickory is a peach-colored four-legged pig puppet.

That's all I can help you with for now, but I will try to describe the rest of the characters missing on your list later.

Can always "count" on 2, 2 people! Yes, that's today's Number of the Day, 2!
And from Episode 4080.
1 Elmo's Fairy Godperson.
2 Elmo's World: The Yoyo, or should it be Yo-Yo? Episode 4079, forgot about this one.
3 Elmo's World: The accordion.

BTW: Thanks MuppetDude, based on your descripts the pillow from the bed could probably be counted as a separate character, just wondering if the blanket was Muppetized as well. The baby bird could be added too.
And based on your descripts, I like that Bell. Hello miss Bell nurse!
Hope to hear from you soon and have a great day.
