Sesame Street40 Years and Counting game quiz
"I can't remember a time before "Sesame Street", nor can many North Americans. Now, after 40 years, children are still learning letters and numbers from the Muppets and their friends. This quiz is intended for first-decade fans of "Sesame Street"."

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. Almost all the Muppets are very sweet, and most can be described as "cute". However, there is only one way to complete a certain classic phrase: "lovable, furry, old ________".

    Ernie's is marked with 'E' and Bert's with 'B'.
    Ernie's is red and Bert's is blue.
    Ernie's has a baseball cap hanging from it, and Bert's has toy pigeons.

6. Speaking of running jokes, a famous one was on Big Bird himself. He had a strange friend, like no one else on Sesame Street, whom he called Mr. Snuffleupagus. (Oddly enough, THAT name gave Big Bird no trouble at all!) What problem did this character cause him for a number of years?
    No one else in all of Sesame Street had ever seen him, so they assumed Big Bird's "friend" was imaginary.
    He kept sneaking down to Sesame Street without permission, and Big Bird didn't want to tell on him.
    He could not resist peeping through people's windows, and everyone assumed that Big Bird, the tallest resident, was spying on them.
    He was very clumsy, and always broke things, getting himself and his friend into trouble.
