The RHLC!

Well... Richard, the monster, and I'm not sure if he's a light blueish one (just strikes me as such) showed up twice in the episode.
The first time, Oscar's upset about the stand and Richard comes in attempting to read what the sign at the stand says, ultimately figuring out it states "Vegetables".
The second, he was sitting next to Olivia's Grandmother along with some kids identifying various produce items like fruits and vegetables, and lastly eggs. That last one's important, because it leads in to the song "The Chicken and The Egg", not sure if that one was sung by Joe Raposo or Richard himself.

Oh, BTW, this episode is from the 1600 range. Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks for sharing! Was this taped off the TV?

So what you're telling me is, no one here besides Will has ever heard Be Kind to Your Neighborhood Monster?

That's so cool about there being a blind monster on Sesame Street! And I love Telly, so that's one more reason I would love to see it! Although Heralde, do you rully think it's as gutsy as you say?

 

[The Count]

Yes... Methinks this was taped off of the TV, there's some glitching through the first half of the episode. Got it from Boober_Gorg in a deal we made last year.

Heh, yes, because you rarely ever see disability on Television. They're still obsessed with everything (and everyone) looking perfect and pretty. I'm glad Sesame Street was one of the few shows that broke that trend.

Agreed. That's why Linda is and always will be a personal hero of mine. And that's why I would've rully liked to have seen Aristotle on the show back in the day when my sight was still better... So I could remember him now.

Oh definitely, Linda was great. I enjoyed reading a quote of hers on Muppet Wiki. When she first started on SS, everything written for her was about "How does a deaf person do this?" Like she wasn't a regular human being like everyone else. She suggested that they tried to show her sense of humor as well, like when she interacted with Bob. Lol

Ok, warning, this is a little sad. I've seen this on youtube for some time but only clicked on it yesterday. It's a short student film, made with CGI. It's a sort of tribute to Jim Henson. In the short film, the creator of a group of Kermit-like puppets passes away. Over time, the puppets have to come to terms with the fact that he's really dead. And there's a bunch of obvious references to the Muppets throughout. I thought it was very moving, though as I say, sad. I thought the RHLC would appreciate it too.

That video is rather haunting, I have to say. I especially noticed the scene where the frog-like puppets are all grouped around the puppeteer's bed, because I sometimes have a mental image of Scooter, along with Richard's other Muppets, all grouped together around Richard's deathbed in the hospice. That part of the video made me think of that.

 

[The Count]

Is this the same video posted in the "Kermit's Therapy" thread over in the FanFic & FanArt section?

No this is definitely not that one. It's not supposed to be funny. Well, I suppose it's kinda dark humor. But in the end, it's supposed to be melancholy. The puppets continue like nothing's wrong, but in the end have to admit their creator has gone away. Actually, it's very relevant to the Muppets' story.

Yes, MN, that was my thought too, that's why I posted it here. Actually, I'm not sure if I entirely agree with it. The film is kinda saying that the puppeteers leaves his creations behind. I understand that idea, he's created them and given them a life of their own. But the way I've always looked at it, the characters are thoughts from the puppeteers' mind. So he'd take them with him, rather than lose them.

Well in either case, I thought it was interesting and well done.
