Farley



Farley is a boy with short, spiky orange hair and a yellow sweater. He first appeared on Sesame Street during Season 2. He appeared most often during the 1970s and was featured on many of the Sesame Street records from that period, but has only appeared occasionally since then.

He most recently appeared in the street scenes of a 2000 episode, which was released on video under the title Computer Caper.

Farley has appeared in a number of illustrated books, but none more prominent than 1980's Farley Goes to the Doctor. Much of Farley's home life is revealed in this story including his dad and his teddy bear, T.J.

Since the 1980's Farley rarely appeared in new material. However he made comeback appearances in Sing Along], [[Pet at the Vet and The Computers in Your Neighborhood.

Farley also appeared in the background for the finale of The Muppet Movie,
