Monster.joeymazz
Any takers on this one? He appeared in a couple talk spots with kids in Season 36.. -- Scott (talk ) 19:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Pink Preppy Monster
This monster caught my eye while watching Follow that Bird. He's seen in the background of the opening street scene. He doesn't look familiar to me. He's pink with an orange nose, grey hair and wears an orange sweater tied around his neck? Does he have a name? Has he been seen elsewhere? Who is he? -- Brad D. (talk ) 16:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

clown girl
Has this character appeared anywhere else? I can't recall ever having seen her anywhere else, and she's pretty interesting looking. It's from Episode 203: Milton Berle. She doesn't have a personality or even a discernable voice, but if she's got other appearances, it might be worth makinga page for her. -- Scott (talk ) 21:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that clown is also in Episode 103: Joel Grey in the Comedy Tonight act. With a nose though. -- Jog 22:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC) Jog

Emmet Otter's Music Store Owner
Is there a name for The Music Store owner in Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas. She seems to be the only character from the special that isn't on the wiki. I have some good infomation and whatnot to add about her, but I don't know where to put it. I watched the special and the behind the scenes documentary and her name (and species) is never mentioned. Does the original book have any information? Should she just be "Music Store Owner"? What should we call her? -- Brad D. (talk ) 01:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * From What I have heard The Music Store Owner was Peformed by Eren Ozker.-- 2009Crbeverlin 1:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Craig, where did you hear that? That kind of information is only useful if you can back it up with a source. -- Danny (talk ) 19:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Her singing voice was Marilyn Sokol. Should we call her "The Music Store Owner" or is there a better name for her page? -- Brad D. (talk ) 23:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * She's not in the book. I think "Music Store Owner" is going to be the best we can do for her. -- Danny (talk ) 00:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've Actually Heard that At the Jim Henson Database.-- 2009Crbeverlin 9:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... I don't know the Database that well, so I don't know if that's a reliable source or not. -- Danny (talk ) 13:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Dr. Teeth Lookalike
I was Watching the Muppet show Pitch reel on the Muppet show Season one DVD, and I noticed a Muppet character who looked like Dr. Teeth. was this an early version of him or was it the character who would later become him?-- 2009Crbeverlin 11:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That's a giant blue Muppet cowboy seen in the "Come Together" number of The Ed Sullivan Show.-- Deanmo19 9:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you guys talking about the same puppet? As far as the Dr. Teeth lookalike, I figured it was just Dr. Teeth, modified slightly to more closely resemble a "long-haired dirty hippie."  I can't imagine there were any early versions or predecessor puppets of Dr. Teeth, considering that his design was pretty much finalized right away. --GrantHarding 02:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Singer, "A You're Adorable"
This Muppet sang "A, You're Adorable" in a Sesame Street skit from 1969. It doesn't look like a regularly used Anything Muppet. It sort of looks like it could be the Southern Colonel, although it's light Orange-Gold and with a different jaw. Could it be Conrad Love with live hands? Again, the face seems a little off for that and the color is lighter than that. Does anyone know if this was used as a pre-Sesame Muppet, or remember seeing it in any other early skits? -- Splurge 04:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * How about naming him "Adrienne's Boyfriend"? -- Deanmo19 04:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Are you looking for a name or a Muppet type classification? If it's the latter, Conrad Love's jaw is more square and the head is thinner. It looks closer to Southern Colonel, but it's hard to say whether it's the same puppet or not. If you're looking for a name, I can't help. Dean's suggestion seems to work unless there's something more official. -- <font color="Blue">Scott Hanson (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Exactly, Scott. It was the latter I was looking for. I was curious on whether it was used in other Henson related projects. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a pre-Sesame puppet which came on in the first series, like Guy Smiley, Hippie Grump, Little Bird and those early monsters. Thanks anyway! -- Splurge 17:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * First of all, that guy's name is Jack. Second, it does appear to be the same puppet used for Southern Colonel (both have pinkish skin, similar shape, and five fingers), but in those earlier appearances his mouth was black. He does appear earlier on the Ed Sullivan Show. -- MuppetDude 16:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's the Southern Colonel puppet, the skin tone and the head seem different. I think Deanmo19's suggestion makes sense. Theatrefreak25 05:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I already know that in this particular skit, Adrienne (played by Caroll Spinney) calls this Muppet, "Oh, Jack". If I had to guess, I have a suspicion that this was an adlib on Spinney's part. But that's neither here nor there; even if "Jack" was the intended name for this skit, I'm still curious if the puppet was used in other Henson productions, as this was the only time this puppet was used on Sesame Street, as far as I know. Of course, I didn't know this "Jack" puppet existed in the first place before Sesame Street Unpaved aired "A, You're Adorable", so I wouldn't rule out learning it appeared in another 1969 skit, if a similar Sesame Street Unpaved happened in the future. Sure, it's unlikely we may find an answer, but then, look how quickly we learned about The Scary Thought. --David Splurge 12:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * True, they do have slightly different coloring, but it may have been because of the film they used, or how "aged" the puppet became over the years. -- MuppetDude 13:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It's just the Southern Colonel puppet with alterations. Scooter 02:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Little Chrissy look-alike Monster
Does anybody know if the lead singing monster from the song "Frazzle" has a name? He looks like a monster version of Little Chrissy and was performed by Christopher Cerf. I know that Christopher Cerf is a member here. maybe he will see this and tell us. --Minor muppetz 23:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I have no clue who this monster is, but it's the same exact puppet used for Harvey Monster(notice his body, nose and fangs) Big V 23:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Id Character?


Is the guy at the bottom of the image from The Wizard of Id? It looks like one of those characters... -- Warrick 18:56, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * No. The Id characters looked less "Muppet"y. He looks more like a standard whatnot to me, probably a party guest in Hey Cinderella! given the other puppets being worked on in those pictures. There were only three Id puppets, The King of Id, The Wizard, and The Spook. The King resembles the character as he appeared in the comics in the 1960s, with a pinched nose and with red yarn hair; Wiz has an orange nose and beard and again matches the comic; the Spook is green an dlooks like he may have been refurbished from a monster puppet, but I'm not sure which one. I wish we had images to stop the speculation about them. --Andrew, Aleal 19:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Im sure that there were only Humans and Monsters in the Hey Cinderella! party scene? --Warrick 07:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The Spook can be seen in the Sesame A&E Biography Special, in the early Sesame pitch tape clips. And Warrick's right, he's not from Hey Cinderella either... --Jog 10:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded a (blurry) image of The Spook! -- Warrick 07:26, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Red Mustached Man
This guy appears in The Muppet Christmas Carol (voiced by Frank Oz and sounding like Fozzie mixed with Grover) and he's a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island (voiced by Bill Barretta and sounding just like Pepe). Does he have a name? -- BradFraggle 04:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think he has a name, but I think we'll refer to him as "The Horse Carriage Driver". -- User:Deanmo19 19:37, February 28, 2006
 * We could, but does anyone know if he appeared in anything before MCC? -- MuppetDude 17:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Oscar and "red"
I got this from somewhere on the web. Anyone know her name? -- Scott Scarecroe 04:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I have no idea what her name is. User:Deanmo19 19:37, February 28, 2006
 * I think that is Deena. --Minor muppetz 00:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hm, could be Deena. Hard to tell from the two pictures on Karen's page. -- Scott, Scarecroe 00:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That's definitely not Deena. --Deanmo19 00:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My guess would be that it's a failed Kathy Mullen character from the 1980s. She's seen in a 1980s episode holding the Street sign, and back then all the performers had at least one regular character: (Brian Muehl had Elmo and Telly, Michael Earl Davis had Snuffy, and Karen Prell had Deena, but Kathy had no regular character. -- MuppetDude 14:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Brian Muehl also performed Dr. Nobel Price, Clementine, and Pearl. --Minor muppetz 16:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The book "Fix It Please" features (among the main characters) a girl monster named Martha. She is green with yellow hair, but besides the color, they look quite alike. Maybe this is Martha Monster? Or was there actually a green Martha? -- Jog 00:06, 2 March 2006 (UTC) Jog

Purple Guy
This guy is purple, has a rather tall head, has teeth sticking out, has orange hair, and wears a monacle. He was a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island (where he was performed by Jerry Nelson), and he was a flying monkey in The Muppets Wizard of Oz. Does anybody know if he has an official name? --Minor muppetz 06:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * This guy? Yeah, I have no idea who he is. -Pantalones


 * Yeah, that's the guy I'm talking about. --Minor muppetz 23:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Dean must know that guy's name -- he seems to have a handle on the MTI characters. Looking at that category, he might be Easy Pete, Calico Jerry, or Black Eyed Pea. He looks like an Easy Pete to me. -- Danny Toughpigs 00:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid he ain't any of the above! I haven't been able to fill in their blank pages yet, but they're all live actors. He may be like Beggar or Undertaker, where no name is available. Also, he ain't especially purple, but that's a discussion for another time I think (some of the color descriptions on character pages seem to contradict their pictures, or fail to include shade differentiation). --Andrew, Aleal 00:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know who he is, but I added a picture here. -- BradFraggle 04:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Small Splurge


See that Muppet Monster Between Kermit and Beautiful Day Monster? He looks somewhat Similar to Splurge. I know Splurge was a full body character but do you know his name or what appearances on TV shows he has made in?-- 2009Crbeverlin 09:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No...I have no idea what the name of this monster was.-- Deanmo19 10:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No idea was its name is either, but one appearance was in Music Hath Charms, a sketch on The Ed Sullivan Show. It indicated approval of Kermit's playing by shaking its belly.

Pink Creature


See That Pink Like Whatnot Monster? Does anyone know her Name, What Sketches She Appeared in, or Who Performed Her?-- ''2009Crbeverlin 1:16, 31 May 2006


 * She has a page as Svengali's Assistant. I'm not sure if that's a real name or one used for convenience on the wiki.  That page says she is performed by Eren Ozker, but I suspect it may be wrong.  The Peter Ustinov episode page says that the pink version of her (called "Monster Girl") was performed by Cynthia Adler, and Eren Ozker did the final, non-pink magician version at the end of the number.  Cynthia Adler's page refers to her as a "Pink Creature".  It would probably be good to pick one name and stick with it throughout the wiki at least... -- <font color="Blue">Merrystar  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Svengali's Assistant is not an official name (one someone came up with for the wiki). The S1 Muppet Morsels refer to her as "Pink Creature". -- <font color="Blue">Brad D. (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
