Yeah, you are right with them being more consistant these days. I remember when they used to do that in the late 80's, too.

I think the last time an original Telly sketch was seen was in the 1996-1997 Season, believe it or not. It was the skit where Telly had a coat and gloves on and was putting together the word Cold, that was made out of Ice. By this time, the old voiced Telly was long gone.

I think they figured they could still use that one because of the fact Telly doesn't say a whole lot in that one. All he really says is the word cold, and because it's so cold out and he's shivvering in that skit, they probably figured kids would just think he was talking that way because he was so cold. JMO

Yeah. And I've noticed the one with 'hot' on 'You Tube' as well. I didn't notice much of a change in his voice there. Those two aren't the best ways to introduce fans to a Brian Muehl Telly.
