The evolution of Herry Monster.
Image | As seen in / Year | Notes |
---|---|---|
Sesame Street early Season 2 (1970) |
The first Herry puppet debuts in episode 0131, the Season 2 premiere. This puppet has a hairy blue nose that is sometimes hard to distinguish from the rest of his face, and also has no tongue. | |
Sesame Street later Season 2 (1970) |
First appearing in episode 0160, Herry is given a smooth blue nose and better eyebrows that don't obstruct his eyes. He also has a foam tongue added. | |
Sesame Street Season 4 (1971-1978) |
In Season 3, Herry's nose color changes from blue to purple. The puppet has a fuller, bushier eyebrow, with a mechanism allowing it to move up and down. | |
Sesame Street Season 13 (1978-1986) |
The design is similar to the previous puppet with some minor changes; the most evident being a slightly thinner eyebrow and nose, both of which will continue to morph and decrease in size over the next couple of decades. | |
Sesame Street Season 18 (1986-1992) |
Herry's nose now connects to the tip of his brow (which is evident when itโs fully raised), filling the gap in-between. Because of this, his nose is now somewhat tear-drop shaped. | |
Sesame Street Season 20 (1988-1997) |
A new Herry puppet is constructed with a more cheerful expression and a different head shape, resulting in a smaller mouth and a shorter eyebrow. His nose has also gotten shorter, while his fur is longer, shaggier, and a more vibrant blue.
This version of Herry was previously used as his father in "Herry's Family Song" and was also seen in Elmo's World: Happy Holidays!, several Macy's Parades and in Episode 4206. | |
Sesame Street Season 28 (1996) |
This Herry puppet (seen in "Up and Down") has a less-rounded head than the previous, with wilder fur on his face, eyebrow that extends beyond his eyes, a larger nose, and a mouth that does not open and close as widely as the previous. | |
Sesame Street Season 29 (1997-2016) |
Herry is modified with a head shape resembling the 70s puppet and a less-obstructed mouth. His eyebrow is at its thinnest. | |
#SharetheLaughter (2016-present) |
Herry gets a slimmer head shape, a shorter nose, and thicker, movable eyebrows again. |
