Yeah, Oscar just didn't look right in orange. Was Grover really brown? Does anyone have a picture?

Actually, at the Hicklebee's book signing in SJ, Caroll answered that question differently: he said that after the first season was done taping, Oscar took a vacation to Swamp Mushy Muddy. When he came back, he was green, and he's been that way ever since. :big_grin::crazy:

I think he'll always be green, as long as the show stays on.

Yeah, he'll always be green. We were only joking above.

At least "I" was... :embarrassed:

Yes, purple was the original idea...

Right before Jim Henson and Don Sahlin slashed him to pieces, right? :wink:

I laughed soooooo hard when I'd read that!

:grouchy:

Foz, I have it from the highest source. Oscar will be sky-blue next season...:wink:

It is the 35th after all...:stick_out_tongue: :frown:
