Don Music (David Rudman), How Now Brown Cow (Christopher Cerf), Kermit the Frog (Peter Linz), Biff (Matt Vogel), and Sully (David Rudman), Miami Mice (Peter Linz and Martin P. Robinson),
Don Music and How Now Brown Cow are completely done for because, bad influence and dated. Same with it, Miami Mice. Plus Kermit is done by Mat Vogel now. The only characters I can seeing returning are Biff, Sully, and Sherlock Hemlock.

Late reply, but I think How Now could actually come back as a one time gig to still parody some 80's songs/music videos.... Let's not forget, last year we got an 80's mashup video.

I'm not sure that Sherlock Hemlock ever got enough love. :search:
Outside the cameo appearance in Season 40 and voiced by Jerry Nelson one last time. It was a touching moment to see as a fan.

Man there are so many characters i want to return to the show including Hoots the Owl. If it was possible I want the Around the Corner set and characters to come back.

From the stories I heard, they can’t bring back the Around the Corner side due to both studio rental cost and some of the set being destroyed.

That's sad :frown: but if they really wanted to they could do a spin off about around the corner with new characters on HBO and have cameos from the sesame gang.

If I was to run a spin-off for Sesame Street, I would focus more on some of the secondary characters like Telly, Herry, The Count, Ernie, etc. So they don’t become forgotten.

Yeah that would be a great idea too! It seems like they are making a bigger comeback in season 49 especially count, ernie, and bert.
