Participation in the Muppet Wiki Forums requires a full understanding of the Rules and Etiquette.
I'm not sure where this would go, but I noticed a book from The Letter People in Episode 3501. Should something like this be given a page for literary reference, or a note on the episode page? I thought it was interesting considering that Allan Trautman had also performed on the Letter People TV series in the 1970s. -- Tony (talk) 03:48, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- There's also this thread from Muppet Central which features Bob with some of the characters. -- Tony (talk) 03:54, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- This should go on a new article for The Letter People. —Scott (talk) 14:47, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- The caption notes that it was taken in 1971 for his appearance on a series called Get Together. I don't know exactly what that is, but I found a few possibilities:
- Getting Together (1971)
- Get It Together (1970)
- Get Together with Sesame Street
- The last one seems the most likely (I included the first two because I had trouble finding anything called simply "Get Togther" and sometimes these old shows are remembered under slightly different names). According to newspapers.com, "Get Together with Sesame Street" aired as early as March 25, 1971 with multiple repeats later in the year (mostly June, July, and August but going as late as December). One listing calls it "Get Together: Sesame Street" (which lends credence to it being a "Sesame Street" episode of a show called "Get Together"), but most of the others list it as a special called "Get Together with Sesame Street". The July 2, 1971 issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch goes one step further, calling it "Get Together with Sesame Street: Bob and Susan".
