Changes: Hunt for Happiness

Revision as of 20:43, 6 October 2020

Hunt for Happiness is a three part soap opera spoof on Sesame Street that first appeared in Episode 0112. Its title is a parody of the long-running soap Search for Tomorrow.

Helen Happy tells her brother Harold Happy that she has mud on her sneaker. They panic and cry, worrying they have failed in their hunt for happiness. The sensible Grandmother Happy has no patience for their dramatics and eventually gives up on helping them.

Frank Oz performed Helen Happy. Jim Henson provided the voices for both Harold Happy and Grandmother Happy. For actual puppetry, Henson would perform the character with more lines and prominence in the scene, Harold for the story's first and second part and Grandmother for the third part. The secondary puppet was manipulated by Danny Seagren.^[1]
