Whatever Happened To.......

Whatever happened to Barkley. He was such a neat muppet, but he disappeared from Sesame Street. Why did this happen?

The performer may have been getting uncomfortable performing the puppet... ( I'm guessing, I don't know much about Barkley's history or performers.)

 

[WalterFan1234]

You're probably right. It looks like he had two performers in his muppet history. Toby Towson and Bruce Connelly

He still appears from time to time; he's been a few episodes since 2009.

True. Just wish he was still a bigger character

( Thanks for the follow, WalterFan!) I wish he was a bigger character, too, because he's really enjoyable, even though I used to be scared of him when I was little.

Haah he scared me too when I was little. But I grew to love the character. Same with the gorgs, sweetums, etc

 

[fozzieisfunny]

Exactly the same with me!!! But, another one of the reasons why I love Barkley is because ( I think) he was in the episode that had the first appearance of Telly, and who doesn't love Telly?

 

[WalterFan1234]

I love Telly!

Way more than two. He was also performed by Brian Muehl and Fred Garbo. (Is he related to Greta? Just curious there.)
