Favorite "Sesame Street" Character?

[Moviefan2k4]

OK, this show's been on the air for decades, so let's share some memories. What's your fave character on the show, and why?

I'm 26... I stopped watching a couple of weeks ago, but the only characters I remember are Big Bird and Snuffalapogus.. so I would go with Snuffalapogus?

The original bromance. I have not seen the show in years and years. I am not a little kid, and I do not have any children. I guess that I will go with either Bert and Ernie (sp), or Oscar the Grouch. Bert and Ernie were my favorites when I was a child, and I'm a lot like Oscar the Grouch now.

The Cookie Monster.

Ernie, because he was funny! I had an Ernie doll! I also though that Louis the Sea Otter, Basil the Polar Bear, and Dodie with her plane were pretty cool on the Canadian version. Also, Grover is a million times cooler than Elmo.

For the Muppets, It's Gonzo, Animal, and Scooter, and they've been my faves since I was 2. My mom tells me that I played with the Gonzo and Animal toys the most, and thought Miss Piggy was lame.

+1 I only liked her when she kicked the other Muppets.

Cookie Monster (not only because of his design, skin color, and our equal love for cookies), but here's another good reason:

Honorable mention: Oscar The Grouch because I can totally relate to him minus the homeless part.

Then: Ernie
Now: Elmo

Grover

...WEEKS? I''d stopped watching after they changed the format when producer Jon Stone left around '90, and that's where fans traditionally draw the historical line between "Old-School" (70's-80's) and "Elmo Era" (current Nick-imitation "Segment anthology" version).

And if you're talking "Old-school", you're talking "Follow That Bird", "Big Bird in China", "Don't Eat the Pictures", and the time Phil Donahue helped prove that Snuffleupagus was real.

(Me, I just about sprayed milk the first time I'd heard Big Bird make an in-joke about Carroll Spinney's home town, as it was coincidentally the same one I'd grown up in.
Just another reason they were both cool, in those long-gone Old-School days. )

How can you not love this:




Also, if you haven't seen Being Elmo, it's a really great documentary.

1.) The Count
2.) Oscar

[Meatwad]

I always liked Oscar. He's mean and ornery.
