Sesame Lion
I feel like I should know who this Sesame Street lion is, but I can't place him. Is he on the wiki? -- Danny (talk ) 02:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I wanna say his name is Chicago...but I could be wrong. Scooter 03:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like the same puppet to me. --MuppetVJ 03:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * That's the one, thank you! -- Danny (talk ) 03:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Light Blue Woman Muppet
Any clue on this Muppet woman from the 2004 Sesamstrasse episode? --Deanmo19 20:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It was actually a 2005 episode, and it's Madame Caneloni, as can be seen here. You can glimpse part of the name on the poster in your image. Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Exercise
Any clue on this dudette? -- Zanimum 19:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

DTV Vee-jay
What is the name of the Vee-Jay who hosted DTV in many episodes of Dinosaurs? He appeared many times, with the same voice, but does he have a name? --Minor muppetz 18:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Between Zoot and Crazy Harry
Anyone have a name for the puppet sitting between Zoot and Crazy Harry in this shot from It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie? I'm guessing it's some obscure Muppets Tonight character that I'm totally unfamiliar with, but it's the only puppet in the audeince in that scene that I can't seem to place. -- Peter (talk ) 17:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I aksed this once at TP and no one knew a name. I think they said he was the drummer for either MT or JHH. -- Scott (talk ) 17:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know who he is, but I think he might have been part of Debbie Harry's band when she guest starred on The Muppet Show. I think he can also be seen walking in the backkground during the breakfast scene in Muppets From Space. --Minor muppetz 04:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

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)


 * He's reffered to on the set as FilFil. Scooter 19:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Is anything else done with his character other than talk spots? -- Scott (talk ) 19:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, not really. He does the parades and he's used as a backround monster when needed. He does a few backround shots in the new season. Pam Arciero puppeteered him for a musical number called "It Takes A Street" Scooter 21:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity, how do you know what he is called? Do you work for Sesame Workshop? --Minor muppetz 22:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * User:Scooter's contributions are trusted. And we'll leave it at that. -- Scott (talk ) 22:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * We already have a Filfil, who's a character from Alam Simsim. This guy looks vaguely similar -- I wonder if that's why he's got the same name? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * They are the same design, and quite possibly the same pattern, which is why he's reffered to as FilFil. Maybe a FilFil (US) title is appropriate Scooter 00:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Or, you could use the alternate capitalisation instead. Filfil and FilFil. --  Zanimum 12:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Alternate related question. In Episode 4061, I linked to "Show and Tell", which seems like the logical name of a series of spots with Ernie and a kid, in a class room. It seems like the immediate predcessor segment to the talk spots. Should these segments all be discussed as one article, and what should it be called, as Show and Tell is taken. -- Zanimum 17:40, 21 July 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? -- <font color="Blue">Brad D. (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

clown girl
Has this character appeared anywhere else? I can't recall ever having seen her elsewhere, but she's pretty interesting looking. It's from Episode 203: Milton Berle. She doesn't have a personality or even a discernable voice (she sings in a chorus), but if she's got other appearances, it might be worth making a page for her. -- <font color="Blue">Scott (<font color="Blue" size="1">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


 * So, is that enough to make a page for? -- <font color="Blue">Scott (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks like . I think they redressed her as little kid characters in the early days. Scooter 21:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Unless the screencap is bad, the color seems wrong.  -- <font color="Blue">Peter  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:56, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, if both Mary Louise and the clown girl appeared in "Comedy Tonight," they probably can't be the same puppet. -- <font color="Blue">Peter (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

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? -- <font color="Blue">Brad D. (<font color="Blue" size="1">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. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">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? -- <font color="Blue">Brad D. (<font color="Blue" size="1">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. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">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. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">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. -- User:Splurge 18:28, May 24, 2006

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)
