Hi! Many Sesame Street Muppets have been removed from the show or very rarely show up. Roosevelt Franklin got removed in the 70s because he was "too active and energetic" which to me, makes no sense. Telly, Baby Bear, and Snuffy are all only appearing on "special occasions" Betty Lou and Herry Monster I have NEVER seen in so long and I think they phased them out too. Same for Prairie Dawn which I only saw on The Not Too Late Show with Elmo which also ended in 2021. Many original characters like: Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Count Von Count, and even Oscar the Grouch have only appeared "once in a while". This could mean that bad things are happening to Sesame Street and many good characters are being removed. Soon the show might only be Abby, Rudy, and Elmo. :frown:
