You know, IMDb used to imply that those guys WERE in this special, along with Grover, the Count, and others courtesy of Richard Hunt. Quite a mistake, which was eventually corrected, thanks in part to me.
Funniest comment ever!! (It just isn't Christmas....). But Anne deserved the publicity for her then-new song, after dressing up like a friggin' Christmas tree to argue with Oscar the Grouch!
O-o-o-o-oh!! I love Anne Murray!! I think I developed a crush on her as a result of this special. She's such a sweetheart. I'm glad Elmo wasn't there ruin the mood with his preening and mugging.
I agree with you, but you know something funny, between the guest stars and the music clearances, I don't think the producers would have been able to use him anyway.
I don't see what folks have against Elmo, he's soooo cute! and his christmas special, "How Elmo Saved Christmas" isn't half bad. I watch it every christmas at least once, and I'm almost 15 now.
WOW!

Is that Jean Stapleton at 5:30, or have I been watching too much All In The Family? lol

why can't they just respect Oscar's beliefs and stop forcing their religion on him?

To see Oscar play an electric guitar was awesome. They dont make Sesame Street like this anymore.

Elmo used to be cute, back before the whole "Tickle Me Elmo" craze.
After that he just sort of became an attention hog. =/
Only place I can stand watching him now is when he's doing shows other than Sesame Street. Like when he's on Martha Stewart or some talk show.
