#1. What year did this skit appeared with Grover and Kermit demonstrating light and heavy?

#2. Why did they call them Sesame Street puppets instead of Muppets during the 1990-91 season?

You mean to tell me that they had an OLDER version of the Elmo and Telly one?! They seem to be redoing loads of skits now.

Yes, actually, they do. But I think that's because they don't want the show to look dated.

It's alot better than the Telly and Elmo one, Grover lasoes himself into helping Kermit with his demo, while he picks up a feather and a ping pong ball, he has Grover pick up a piano and a boulder (thus making Grover begging for mercy so to speak), in the end, Grover demands a vice versa, so Kermit picks up a giant sandwich, and Grover picks up a balloon that carries him away. It's a classic, and is shown on PWMS.
