    Technically they are all muppets. But some were Muppet Show only. Big Bird was on a couple times. I think with Harry Belefonte.

    Yeah, I knew he 'guested' once or twice, and I knew they were made by the same folks, but I've never heard the Sesame Street puppets refered to as muppets ( although I know the name is a combination of puppet and marionette, and therefore, you're technically right )

      I always liked the two old guys who heckled everything. I also liked Big Bird.

        I have the tune from the Muppet show in my head. I just thought I'd share that with you in all in the hope of infecting you, too.

        Watched this growing up and it amazes me now that I am an adult, how adult the show actually was. The extras on the first season show and early pilot which was definately not child friendly. As christian has said Manamana!! Aaron

              They were often referred to as Muppets, both in the hollywood and credit side. The differences were that Sesame Street muppets had full-time employment. ;)

                        I had a professor in college who looked like Beaker. He had those crazy big eyes. He taught numerical analysis and lived a few houses down from me. In seven years I never saw the upstairs lights on. He would drive to the end of the driveway to get the mail. His driveway was maybe 2 car lengths long. I think he's hiding bodies in the basement.

                        So what you're saying is, keep a close eye on the TV show Cops, we might see you being interviewed "He was quiet. Kept to himself mostly, but I always knew something was wrong ... maybe it was the hands and feet poking up out of his garden ... " :~

                                          I always liked the two old guys who heckled everything. I also liked Big Bird.

                                          No question ... Swedish Chef! Especially the episode where he cooks a shoe and calls it "a-meat a-loafer". :)
