[author]

One of my all-time favorites. Thanks for posting it.

aww i feel bad for Herry, i'll play catch with you Herry. He didn't mean it, he just doesn't like thieves.

[kamdenp]

ernie gets tamed

[RabbitDance]

Don't'cha wanna play catch?

[tenderheart17]

I'm glad they changed Herry's nose, later on...  this one was...um...very...uh....strang­e?

[tifahentai]

I like Herry though he looks scary. Since he's a good monster inside as seen in other Seasame Street flicks. This probably is Herry's first appearance since the first time I saw him he's nose was pink.

[Garrettk41]

This was an early appearance for Herry, but not the first. He originally had a blue nose that was covered with fur.

ERNIE IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!

What a great video from Sesame Street

[littlekidsrock]

Ernie is the very best!

[littlekidsrock]

That's the cutest video I have ever seen!!

I wonder if this is the first skit that Ernie and Herry met since neither one of them said each other's name, and Herry was talking to Ernie in a rude way probably also thinking that Ernie was a thief (since he doesn't know him, that is, if this was the first skit they met) and that Ernie was trying to steal his ball.

Herry: HEY COME BACK HERE. Don't you wanna play catch

Me: I'll play

[sapphires1994]

what's up w/ herry's nose? IF i saw him like that when i wuz little i think i would have been too scared watch SS for a year! lol

[Quietschquatsch]

1:51 to 1:53 wtf???

[marathonmongoose]

Blue-nosed Herry was scary. Methinks when they changed to the purple nosed model, they also went for a less scary look & personality.

Looks like Herry spent all morning shaving his nose. I didn';t know he had a smooth blue nose.

[thomashodgetts]

herry just cant take a chill pill

he wosnt even playing with the ball

[moatguy]

Maybe he just went to get a drink.

[afriendofbean]

True, he might've went to get a drink but, if that's what he was going to do, he should've taken his ball with him so no one will take it, or he could've put his name on the ball just so Ernie or anyone else will know that the ball belonged to Herry.

[moatguy]

Well there even was a time when Luies turned on the radio and Zoe kept turning it off because she said it was a waste of energy but Luies said he would only be back in a few minutes. So in a sense I can see some resemblence.

[leviathon74]

gawd hes a big mouth, have yas noticed taht over time he changed??

the first herry had a hairy nose

the second herry had a smooth blue nose

the the third incarnation had a purple nose..

[moatguy]

Actuly the first Herry had a purple nose in 1972.

[moatguy]

Herry:"This ball you,re gonna take home is round and yellow and large and smooth and what else?!" Well if I was Ernie I would say it,s round and yellow and large and smooth and rubber and filled with air. :D

[StaceSesame]

Herry was a bully back then!

[dadogster]

yes but he changed into the loveable furry monster that we loved.

[loveutoto]

Well, he did have a temper there, but Ernie was about to just claim his ball for his own. And he did invite Ernie to play catch!

[woahannablue]

What's this from, early 70's?

[StaceSesame]

i think you are right, Herry's nose was still blue in the early 70's, i think they made his nose purple in the mid 70's.

[tpirman1982]

Hey, chill out, Herry!

[tpirman1982]

Herry: Hey! Come back here! Don't you wanna play catch?

Well, why didn't you say so? Let's play catch! lol

[MuppetPro]

Back then they really gave Jim and the guys alot of freedom, today since they own the Muppet characters for the show, they make everything pretty much child friendly and corny. _Eric

[ISNorden]

It's a wonder CTW/Sesame Workshop didn't retire Herry earlier; the way he roars "It's MINE!" and "Come back here!" probably scared a lot of kids.

[dispatcher484]

Probably, but isn't that the point? It's the lesson of not taking things that don't belong to them. Besides, Herry is always a big mush under that rough exterior. 5 stars!

[MIKECNW]

Well he was not the only one yelling on SS.

Although in this case he could of said Ernie that's mine especially since he knew Ernie pretty well.

[afriendofbean]

Actually, Herry is the replacement monster for "Beautiful Day Monster" and more kids got scared of "Beautiful Day Monster" because in some skits he scared Kermit away (and even roared loudly on the skits with Kermit which fogged up the screen), and in other skits he scared Ernie away and even stole some things from Ernie (like a piece of chocolate cake). So I guess Herry has some love in his heart with some people and even stars in some skits with young kids which is why he wasn't retired early

It's hilarious when Beautiful Day Monster steals the chocolate cake...
