I also like Oscar the Grouch(much like me!!)
Grover
Big Bird
Kermy
Miss Piggy(mostly because she doesn't take any crap from anybody!!):D

I havent seen this show in about 25 years so I have a couple of questions. Is Elmo a recent character because for the life of me I dont remember him when I was watching.


Also I hear they changed the Cookie Monster into the Apple monster or something. I can understand about being health consious (or however you spell it), but the Apple Monster !?!?!?!??!?!?!?! WTF :confused:

I heard a little something about this, and I think that's what it is. With the growing epidemic of childhood obesity, I guess they figured the name Cookie Monster was a bad influence on kids.

Give me a freakin' break!!:eek:

Like Doodyville stated in a thread, too much hypersenitivity in this world today.

Oh, and I don't really know when exactly Elmo came about, I think in the past 10 years. I remember a few years back "Tickle Me Elmo" was the toy to get one Christmas season.

All I know is that he's annoying!!

I know Elmo was in "Follow That Bird" in 1985. He doesn't have a speaking part, but he is one of the background monsters.

My favorite is Grover.

I don't remember exactly when he debuted but it was way after I stopped watching! I haven't seen "Follow That Bird" yet, but maybe he started out as an 'extra' and ended up being front and center. Elmo's cute, but that Elmo's World segment they have is WAY too long. I'm serious, it was over 10 minutes long! I timed it! How boring to sit and watch that for half the show! Even I was getting bored! I can understand a long segment with various characters "on" Sesame Street, but it's like "Elmo's World" is hogging the whole show!


Also I hear they changed the Cookie Monster into the Apple monster or something. I can understand about being health consious (or however you spell it), but the Apple Monster !?!?!?!??!?!?!?! WTF :confused:

OMG, are you serious? That's crazy! Besides I've seen Cookie Monster eat apples and such. I highly doubt that just because he craves cookies doesn't mean that every preschooler in America will now be overweight! :crazy: Can you say "Parental supervision"! I can understand them wanting to show him eating more than cookies, but I can think of a hundred different ways to do it, instead of changing a classic character's name.

PS: I'm going to make a list and reply later about my favorite characters.

I like Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster and Big Bird.

I CAN'T STAND Elmo!!!! Sesame Street has turned into "The Elmo Show".

Oscar should throw Elmo in the trash and beat the stuffing outta him, putting him (and us) out of his (our) misery.

Sam the Eagle on the Muppet Show could get on my nerves, but I think his character was supposed to be annoying. :lol:

You're right. Alistair Cookie certainly represents culture. Here is a picture of Sesame Street's only opera singer Placido Flamingo.

Thanks, Monika!

There's another monster I like, but I have no idea what his name is. He's yellow and I think he has orange horns.

That would be The Count. Heck, he could count the floor tiles in his bathroom if he wanted to.

And for Muppets that aren't Sesame Street, here are my faves....

Kermit
Fozzie
Ms. Piggy
Statler and Waldorf
Gonzo

My least fave is...

That host from "Muppets Tonight" who has that Jamaican wig and accent.

He’s still at it in the deep tracks thread.

Dude, no one’s going to go out and buy a used CRT TV, a VCR, a cassette player or an 8-track player upon your recommendation. Your anti-digital crusade is ****ing dumb and I’m tired of being nice about it. Take that bull**** to a forum of like-minded people.

I’m sorry you can’t adapt to superior technology like everyone else has in the past 25 years, but that’s a you problem; stop making it ours.
