About This Quiz

Sesame Street is known for its friendly neighbors. Which character is this?
Big Bird
Big Bird, who may or may not be a canary, is an 8-foot tall yellow bird who lives in a nest next door to 123 Sesame Street -- right near Oscar the Grouch's trash-can home. He's about 6 years old, and best friends with "Snuffy" Snuffleupagus. He was also the first Muppet to appear on the show.

Sesame Street is known for its friendly neighbors. Which character is this?
Big Bird
Grover
Kermit the Frog
Oscar the Grouch
Before he was the lovable trash-loving muppet we know today to be green, Oscar was originally an orange grouch. Green or orange, he sure can fit a lot in his trash can. Since the beginning of the show, Oscar has mentioned his bowling alley, farm, ice rink, piano, and swimming pool -- as well as his pet elephant, pet worm, and, we can assume, a lot of trash. And you may not think of him as sentimental, but Oscar once fell in love with the Wicked Witch of the West, when Margaret Hamilton made an appearance on "Sesame Street" in 1976.

Mr. Snuffleupagus
Until 1985, the adults on "Sesame Street" had never seen Mr. Snuffleupagus, or "Snuffy" to his friends (but Aloysius is his real name), and assumed he must be Big Bird's imaginary friend. Finally, Snuffy's timing was right, and the 4-year-old pachyderm met the adults of the neighborhood. The decision to make the change was made to avoid teaching kids that adults won't believe them when they tell them something important.

Unlike other Muppets, Slimey's voice was someone other than his puppeteer. Emmy Award-winning (he won 25!) sound effects mixer and foley artist Dick Maitland, who began working on "Sesame Street" in its infancy, in 1969, voiced Slimey the worm.
