Bob

Bob Johnson is a music teacher who lives on Sesame Street. He has been on Sesame Street since the premiere episode. His most famous song is probably "The People in Your Neighborhood". An affable and low-keyed fellow, Bob was introduced as Gordon and Susan's neighbor, and had a close, semi-romantic friendship with Linda for many years (having previously resisted the advances of Molly the Mail Lady).

While Gordon and Susan (and to some extent, Maria and Luis) function largely as surrogate parents to the Muppet characters, Bob is more of a surrogate teacher, seldom assuming a disciplinary role. He lives in an apartment above Hooper's Store. Known relatived include Uncle Wally.
