Mr. H

Here's the first in my series of individual Letter People Tributes. This one, obviously, is about Mr. H (I know, I know, I planned to do Mr. N first, but I made this to tide everyone over until I get enough pictures- seriously, where is all the Mr. N stuff?) Most of the pictures also feature trivia about Mr. H and his role on the TV show.

hysterical hamhocks indeed!

Very nice tribute to Mr. H, who seems to be the leader of the Letter People. He was the one to introduce the Letter People to Monty Swell and the one to help Mr. C and Mr. K with their problem.

I just don't think my mom liked the song. Too avant-garde, I guess...:)

Mr. H will be played by John Stamos in the 1974 version and Andy Samberg in the 1989 version.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, due to illness, the part of Mr. H, usually played by John Stamos, will be played by Lyle Lovett.

Just thought I'd re-iterate a few things in case no one was actually reading my comments. :) Anyway, my mother was another one on the 'disliking Mr. X's song' bandwagon, mainly because she thought it was too monotonous, and that Mr. X sounded like a robot.

I remember you saying something about that on the Mr. X video. (I swear, your comments are giving me the majour deja vu; I remember everything I read...) Even if I owned the record, I was in kindergarten in the early 90s, so even though we had a record player at school, we didn't have one at home anymore...

My mom called my school to see where they got the record and ordered it! :) I vividly remember playing it at my grandparents' house, and the lady who often watched me in those years whenever my folks went out (who was like a third grandmother to me), who was from Eastern Europe, loved them as well. She loved Mr. H and Mr. L, but couldn't stand Mr. X! ("Vat is dis mex, mex, mex, mex, mex...")

Your grandparents heard the song? That's interesting; were you lucky enough to own the record or something? The only time my family ever heard the songs was when I randomly sang them (and Mr. H was one of the ones I sang most often- my mom started to find it really annoying).
