50 years ago, Big Bird said the following to the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee.
" You don't put your wig on Mrs. Nixon's shoulder. It was removed ... quickly. " _ Big Bird ( 1973 ) https://vimeo.com/228220382 #bigbird #classicsesamestreet #sesame55 #oldschoolsesamestreet #puppetry #muppets #carollspinney

Which one is more awkward ? Grover being called Oscar the Grouch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON0rj2brDlA or Grover on the cover of The Philadelphia Inquirer TV Week while being called " THE Cookie Monster " ? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/8/8f/Otltvweek2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200417163924 IT'S GROVER ! 🤣 #classicsesamestreet #oldschoolsesamestreet #muppets #grover #puppetry #1970s #70s

I found this while reading the Muppet Wiki article on Banned Sesame Street. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Sandbox:Banned_Sesame_Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax7m_YMcrMc Probably one of the top most unhinged Bert moments I've ever seen. 🤣 Frank Oz having fun ! 🤣 #classicsesamestreet #oldschoolsesamestreet #frankoz #muppets #puppetry #jimhensonsmuppets #jimhenson

This is an interesting piece of history.
During the early days of Sesame Street, it seemed like there was several moments where they didn't mind showing the " Anything Muppet " process.
But what makes this even more interesting is it's literally a blooper reel kept on the show. :)
Remembering Bob McGrath ( & Jim Henson ).

When I heard about the Warner Bros Discovery merger, I thought, cool, MythBusters on HBO Max :). I didn't expect them to get rid of Classic Sesame Street ! So far, the original Looney Tunes cartoons is still on there. #HBOMaxJustCanceled #hbomax #warnerbrosdiscovery #popculture #mythbusters #looneytunes #classicsesamestreet #animation

Little Jerry & The Monotones knows EXACTLY how we old school classic Sesame Street fans feel when HBO Max took down most of the old school classic Sesame Street collection off of the platform.
