the Sesame Street Encyclopedia needs YOU!

[mikealan]

Hi! I guess we need Felix the Grouch and the Two-Headed Monster (Frank and Stein) for the Sesame Street Encyclopedia, but I didn't see them. AND, I watched some of the classic characters on Noggin each day, and can you try to post pictures of these:

Kingston Livingston III?

Stinky the Plant?

the Prince (from the Elmo's World segment about hair)?

Farley?

That's all I can think off. BTW, we tried Pat Playjacks, Velma Blank and Davey & Joey Monkey, but it's hard to post the pictures of them from each episode. WE WANT OUR SITE TO HAVE MORE CHARACTERS!!!

You were just talking to Mikealan, and you must know that Mikealan is NOT one of the people of Sesame Street Encyclopedia, he isn't even on the Thanks-page.

You of course are. We did recieve your pic, but we can't decide what to do with it. Add them seperately or both at one page.

Correction in the "Sesame Encyclopedia"

I've noticed a mistake on Sonny Friendly's bio. He did not host "Squeal of Fortune." Pat Playmax and Velma Blank hosted that show. If my memory serves me, wasn't Sonny the guy that always pestered the reluctant Maria to get involved in his game shows?

Well, Tommy, if you're going to correct that little tidbit of Sunny Friendly's bio, make it wholy correct. The host of the game show Squeal of Fortune was named Pat Playjacks and Velma Blank was his assistant. The whole thing was a parody of Wheel of Fortune. In truth, Sunny Friendly pestered about any of the human characters of Sesame Street he could find with silly little non-game shows. See, here's the thing. He always thought of himself as famous, when all he was popular and he wasn't even that. He popped up one time before Hiroshi (Jedde Wattanabi) and told him that Hiroshi was the newest contentastant in a game show. The object was to paint a picture of Sunny Friendly and then he'd be rewarded with a famous painting. Excited at the thought of the painting he'd get, Hiroshi started working and then ended up winning the same portrait he just finished. Another instance of Sunny Friendly's annoyance is in a Season 25 episode they showed on Noggin. Here, Sunny Friendly appeared before Gina and asked her to identify the word "HOT" from amongst a piece of pie, a chicken, and the Muppet word "HOT." Of course, Gina recognized the word immediately and when she did Sunny Friendly said that her prize were the Muppet chicken and the piece of pie. After that, he just left them alone and the word "HOT" got involved in a game of tag with Big Bird and Elmo and the Muppet word "OPEN."
But you can get a great example of Sunny Friendly's smarmy demeanor in the Sesame Street video The Alphabet Game, a game show hosted by the game master with various classic alphabet clips strewn throughout. I found my copy at Toys R' Us a long while ago. Don't know if they'd have it at your local TRU or if you'd have to go to www.ebay.com to get it. Hope this helps and have a good day.

Thanks Count, I added it. By the way, contrary to what eBay says, it is Sonny Friendly, not Sunny, according to the number of hits at google.com

Sonny Friendly was actually performed by Richard Hunt originally. He is one of the few Muppets that was actually replaced by David Rudman. But the show you described was actually Richard Hunt with the word "HOT," because that episode originally aired in Season 23, and then it got re-aired in Season 25.

So is the character's name correctly spelled "Sonny" or "Sunny" Friendly? Please check with your sources and tell me which according to the cited source you have. Thanks for your help and have a good day.
