I am delighted to find that there is a wiki devoted to all things muppet.

I am saddened to learn that the number skits series (”Ten Chocolate Layer Cakes!”) are no longer aired on Sesame Street. My delight in the baker’s pratfalls presaged my joy in the slapstick of the Three Stooges.

I also sympathized greatly with the Mad Painter. His continual failures served to reinforce in me the lesson that not only is life not fair, but others will attempt to thwart you. Especially if you’re trying to paint a 9.
