Talk:Pre-existing Muppets on Sesame Street

how you can help
I put this in sandbox, but there are soem things that I am unsure of, and things that you can probably do to help. First of all, if somebody can find the Ask Henson.com question mentioend and quote the response, that would be great. There is a thread at the Muppet Central message board, titled "The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and Bip Bipodotta", which includes a response to an e-mail sent to Henson.com about why the two characters were made different, and why Sesame Street didn't have many characters who were created before appearing on Sesame Street, stating that Jim Henson wanted to protect his own copyright and the fact that he didn't think it was appropiate for characetrs created for commercial television to appear on a public television show. Why Kermit has appeared in the same form I'll never know, but if somebody can find that thread and quote the e-mail, great!

Also, I am unsure whetehr this should be categorized as a list or rumor. There is the Ask Henson.com response that states that Kermit was the only regular on both shows, and that could justify this being in the Rumors category. If there are any other official quotes regarding whetehr other Sesame Street characters appeared on the show, those could be quoted as well. I also think that a better title could be used, though I had trouble thinking up a good one. I also think that this article could use some rewording. --Minor muppetz 01:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
