Sesame crossover characters

[beaker]

Well, since day one Kermit has been a mainstay on Sesame. And of course Rwolf cameod one time(ol brown ears, who in muppet canon also helped 'co-create the show with kermit) and of course Mahna Mahna from TMS also was on Sesame.

But what other Muppet Show(or Muppet special) cameos have their been? On several occations Sesame characters appeared on the Muppet Show.

I can't wait for the completion of more background bios for character sonline, that might shed some light on whose cameo'd in where.

Other than the promo for Sesame Street in which Kermit and Rowlf brainstormed as to what to call the new show, did Rowlf appear again?

I don't think it was the same character on Sesame who did the song Mahna Mahna. Wasn't it supposed to have been Bip Babodaiiaitooa(whatever)?

How about that time Statler and Waldorf came to heckle Sesame Street and Oscar told them to scram? Oh wait, that never happened

[TravellingMatt]

Rowlf did appear once after the "Sesame Street" promo, in one of the counting segments. His line? "NINE LIGHTS!".

Kermit, Rowlf, and the Mahna Mahna-type character (Bip Bippadotta) are the only crossover characters I know of that have appeared on the Street, although once during a Muppet Newsflash segment on Old MacDonald's farm, Kermit tells a pig that it reminds him of someone he knows. =)

Ofcourse Splurge and the Beautiful Day Monster made Cameos in Season One.

See ya

Just to back up your "Crossover" claims. There's an episode where even though Rowlf never appeared, his name was given by Bob at the end of that episode to a Scottish collie opera singer muppet who was looking for a new piano player to accompany her act. BTW: Would any of you guys know what her name was?

Have a great summer, the Count.

>>>Kermit, Rowlf, and the Mahna Mahna-type character (Bip Bippadotta<<<

Hmm, I thought that *was* Mahna Mahna that cameo'd?

[Jeffrey Gray]

Yes, it was. The "Mahna Mahna" skit featured Mahna Mahna.

[MuppetDude]

>>To The Count:

The dog's name was Annata (Or Renatta?) Scottie.

[MuppetDude]

One of the gorillas from Muppets Tonight! appeared in the "Elmo's World: Bananas" segment .

[Salmoto]

That same Gorilla was all over the Muppet show too. (Oh dear, I spotted another one, should I be worried?)

I too have noticed a lot of animal characters that have appeared periodically over the years on various shows. Like the bears...Im too lazy right now to go to the kermitage guide, but that one Bear with teeth has seemingly been on every Muppet show and special, along with the generic bears.

Btw, its funny to notice the differences between animals on sesame and muppet show/specials/films. Like the cows and horses, or the penguins. Look at how Gladys the cow on Sesame looks distinctly different than the TMS farm animals on the opening of MFS.

For anyone who read the kermitage character guide, its interesting to know that some of the whatnot/generic animals have names. I had no idea the pengin is named winky, or that the merdlilops and frackles each have names

Actually...


THere was a period of time (I believe) in which they used Muppet Show animals on Sesame Street.

The difference between TMS and SS chickens is that SS ones are brown, TMS ones are white.

However, they used TMS chickens in the Seji Osawa/ Placido Flamingo skit from Put DOwn the Duckie, and if you'll notice, They use the Ramma Lamma Lambs from the MArk Hamil TMS episode in there as well...

[MuppetDude]

Since Drtooth brought it up, TMS's very own Gaffer the Cat appeared in the same song! He's the kitten on the left with the pair of cats, but is given more "Muppety" plastic eyes, but his mouth gives the resemblance away.

[Salmoto]

Yes, I've noticed this too, on the Muppet show, the chickens are white, but on Sesame Street they're red.

[Wozza Fraggle]

I think that one thing that was the same was the Cows, The cows in the 'We Got Elegance' musical number look just like Gladys.

On The Muppet Show they would give them rings in there noses and horns, But to make em more kiddified on Sesame Street they would give em wool hair and eyelashed and a cow bell.
