This comment comes a bit late, but here's the reason I left a few key characters out: Rowlf the Dog - He's pretty much been the same since day one. There's not much difference between Rowlf in the 50's and Rowlf today, and that's fine. He's a great character, though, and I'm glad to see he has so many fans. Oscar the Grouch - Aside from being orange, Oscar's personality, like Rowlf, has really not changed much. Snuffy - I touched on Snuffy in the first installment of 50 Retired Sesame Street Muppets. I think I'd mostly be repeating myself if I did it again. Thank you for all your comments and support, everyone!

You might be interested to know that the Count wasn't just a play on word of Count Dracula, it also came from a way of how people thought to deal with, "real vampires,"when they were believed in. They thought that the way to keep a vampire out of a village was to take some rice, as in a whole lot of it, dump it on the vampire's grave and he wouldn't be able to resist counting each grain. if you put enough the vampire would take all night to count the rice and wouldn't be able to bother anyone. That was the belief.

There actually is a reason why Telly has an obsession with triangles, and it was all thanks to writer Lou Berger. In the book "Sesame Street Unpaved", he said: "I remember I was home sick once, and I was watching my kid play with some triangles. I realized that I wanted to give Telly something that wasn't just neurotic, but a passion for something outside himself--and that became triangles." Side note, I was so amazed to see the very first time Kevin Clash performed Elmo, even though he wouldn't "find his voice" until season 17, episode 2215. It's also good to know that we have confirmation on when exactly Kevin started playing the character, since sources varied on whether the year was 1984 or 1985. Production-wise, it's the former. Great video, Colin, just like your other Muppet/"Sesame Street" stuff!

You almost made me cry!! As a tike, for some reason I was obsessed with Grover. It made my mother giggle to see me that happy about a furry monster. That was from 1989 to about 1991. While that phase with me is long gone, there's just something about the Muppets that will ALWAYS put a smile on my face. At 35, you just might find me rocking and swinging to artists like Michael W. Smith, Morgan Cryar and Amy Grant because that was more my era of music, but something just kinda brings out the child in me when I hear Kenny Loggins start singing the Rainbow Connection. That was great to hear the gang update the song in the 2013 movie as a recreation.

However I really don't recall his voice or lack there of. I imagine the fact he wasn't a main focus character would have a lot to do with that. Funnily I just the other day watched the video of Cookie Monster's crumbled cookie song which has Elmo in his Short Red incarnation and introduces Cookie in a deep voice. He was never my favorite really, except I could never imagine anyone else doing Elmo's World.

Even after they toned him down, it took me a while before I was comfortable w/him. (I agree that you should do a follow up w/Snuffy, Oscar, etc.)

I remember the scary version of The Count, and while it was a little scary, he wasn't as bad as the narrator made him out to be. Frazzle was the scary one. I worried what Frazzle might do to the other Muppets. But, I liked having both of them be scary because they evoked a different kind of feeling than anyone else, and in the end, everything worked out.

I’ve seen videos about Sam and Friends. Man..... their characters are CREEPY as weird. Literally. Even the early Grover and Telly Monsters were creepy-ish, although, Telly? I believe his debut was when it was in an episode of Sesame Street, presumably 1979. Grover, though, was always on the show since the first season. I love the older shows and content better than the newer, that’s just me, obviously. Miss Piggy doesn’t seem like any puppet that’d necessarily “scare” for lack of better term, any old people that were actually born in the 70s or whenever she was first introduced. The [underground muppets] were the 2nd creepiest, to me. Sam & Friends is so dang creepy, man. Idk. Just, the sound of the Characters, and sometimes the looks, yes. And, the short sketches of the other creepy shows, were okay. Like, Wilkins and Wonkins, who I can’t watch anymore... Man, I still care for these muppets. Sam and Friends by far is the absolute MOST creepy in my opinion. Also, it’s too bad [Snerk and Snurf] are not on SS anymore. Because, idk why. Sesame Street producers just decided.... no. They were most likely too weird and creepy looking to be on the show anymore after the first season.

Thank you very much for making this video! It’s truly wild to learn about how different these characters were when they were first introduced. I’m a huge fan of just about all the characters you mentioned. I like Bog Bird a lot and I will always have fond memories of my early days watching him and Snuffy on their adventures. I also still prefer the original premise that only Big Bird can interact with Snuffy! My respect goes out to the people who like the different setup of the modern setup where Snuffy is a regular cast member and everyone recognizes him. I just really like the idea of having a private friend that you keep to yourself. I liked their private friendship and I connected better to that. I really like Elmo and Telly too. They always make me feel better on hard days. It’s always fun to visit Seseame Street, and it’s equally fun to talk about the classic muppets as well!

Nowadays people are so used seeing a Muppet that they instinctively know how to NOT talk to the puppeteer. Muppets are now ubiquitous!

I thought they were awesome and in some ways they inspired me to do better. Mr. Rodgers taught me to respect and forgive everyone. Sesame Street taught me the joy in learning. Bob Ross taught me the wonders of art. Reading Rainbow taught me to not let my disabilities get in the way of acquiring knowledge. There were so many shows in the 1980s and 1990s that would be awesome to share now-a-days.

I dunno -- I kind of think Disney has mishandled the Muppets brand for years and there are so, so many Muppet shows and TV seasons that are still not available officially on home video. Why is Disney digging in its heels and not releasing these shows?!? TBH, I never thought they did better with these characters than the first two theatrical Muppet movies and there were problems with the company and projects even before Jim Henson died. I've got the soundtracks to both The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper, the best movie I ever saw Charles Grodin in! (Hahahahahahahaha) I was pleasantly surprised by The Labyrinth which I had never seen in its entirety before. Surprisingly good film. In some ways, it's easier to take in than The Dark Crystal and it's a fine monument to David Bowie and the height of his career in the 1980s.z The Dark Crystal series on Netflix(?) I've heard is pretty decent. Note that Disney had nothing to do with either The Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal -- or the really good Muppets projects.

I was surprised to see that you didn't mention the fact that Oscar started off being Orange. Thanks for all the other work, especially the Telly Monster references, as I didn't know how he became Telly Monster.

Thanks i was just gonna say wheres rowlf Rowlf is my fav he should be credited along with Kermit as an original muppet and get the recognition he deserves his look has changed over the years to i'm sure in the muppet show years he was longed earred and had a different hair line then in recent years he's gone back to being the old rowlf again They should use him more than they do he seams to be always being lazy but that'a not how rowlf should be

Oh, the Muppets are still awesome. As a kid, I really liked Grover and Snuffleupagus, besides the better-known Muppets. -- Back in the day, those cartoons and other bits were current styles, not retro. It was funny as an adult seeing some of those old sketches and thinking how much I was involved in, invested in, those as a little guy. Also how much goes over a little kid's head and how much you notice later. They had plenty for the kids to grow into, enough so the older kids would be entertained and learn too, while with their little siblings or cousins or friends, and enough so the adults or teens with them could be entertained along with the little kids.

The first time I noticed Elmo was in the episode where Snuffy is revealed to be real. Elmo was charged with keeping Snuffy in Big Bird's nest. I always thought of that as his Ruby Keeler moment.

Telly was the only monster on Sesame Street that freaked me out when I was little. Elmo was less annoying when he first came on the show. Even my son didn't like his character.
@tomekstrand19884 жыл бұрын
I watched Sesame Street beginning in its first season. And no, we didn't get freaked out by the Count. The overly-sensitive mindset of today has not always been the norm.

I think Telly’s relationship with Oscar was meant to represent older siblings. You know, Oscar being the older sibling and Telly the younger sibling.

I remember the debut of the original Telly Monster. The spinning eyes were freaky! Glad to see he went into rehab before they brought him back.
