Kicked to the Sesame Street Curb (part 2)

Bart – Bart is Bert’s twin brother. At the show’s conception, Bart was the third roommate. He is the dirty, inappropriate brother who had a difficult time in grade school. Bart was evicted from The Street when he would repeatedly barge in on Ernie in the bathtub.

Harmony – Lights, camera, action! This muppet is all show, all the time. At any point throughout the show, she would break out in song and dance. After finding a large amount of caffeine pills in her purse, Kermit climbed through her window and confronted her. She exclaimed she was fine and began to frantically sing “I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so, I'm so... scared!”

Lawn Jock – Jock is introduced as a mysterious, intellectual and stoic character who is in touch with the earth, has a penchant for hunting and tracking and believes in mystical and spiritual explanations for why things happen in the world. When asked why he does unexplainable actions, he replies, ”Because the Streets told me to.” Jock lives out his dreams of becoming a hunter on the Streets. Being a man of faith, he believes he has a special connection with the Streets, leading him to clash with man-of-science, Elmo.

Kicked to the Sesame Street Curb (part 1)

Life on the streets ain’t easy. And Sesame Street is no exception. In 40 seasons, the show has featured over 1,000 characters. Sure, you know Big Bird and Kermit, but many muppets have been evicted by the producers and are now living under your neighborhood bridges. Here are some muppets that were kicked to the curb:

Pop-Up – At random times throughout the show, he would pop-up in front of the camera and teach kids that it’s rude to interrupt people when they are talking. Pop-Up has a lazy eye and is a mumbler. Every time he would make his appearance, everyone would just shake their heads and exclaim, “Oh, Pop-Up!” Pop-Up failed a routine drug test.

Ronnie Redhead – Ronnie taught kids that everyone is beautiful in their own way. After receiving reviews that her gnarled, muppet face was too graphic for three year olds, she was cut from the lineup.

Tricky – Tricky hung out on the street corner near Oscar the Grouch, offering people a good time and an evening date. She is the only character in this list that was not kicked off by producers. After Wilt Chamberlain guest-starred on the show, she disappeared and was never seen again.

The Situation – Gym. Tanning. Laundry. This muppet’s hair is bulletproof and he speaks in third-person. He was evicted after punching Tricky in the face.
