Changes: Herry Monster Through the Years

Revision as of 23:53, 2 January 2014

Image	As seen in / Year	Notes
	Sesame Street early Season 2 (1970)	The first Herry puppet debuts in episode 0131, the Season 2 premiere. This puppet has a hairy blue nose that is sometimes hard to distinguish from the rest of his face.
	Sesame Street later Season 2 (1971)	Herry is rebuilt with a smooth blue nose. He also has a tongue.
File:Herry1970's.jpg	Sesame Street Season 3 (1971-1978)	In Season 3, Herry's nose color changes from blue to purple. The puppet has a fuller, bushier eyebrow, with a mechanism allowing it to move up and down.
	Sesame Street Season 10 (1978-1986)	The design is similar to the previous puppet with some minor changes; the most evident being a slightly thinner eyebrow and nose, both of which will continue to morph and decrease in size over the next couple of decades.
	Sesame Street Season 18 (1986-1992)	Herry's nose now connects to the tip of his brow (which is evident when it’s fully raised), filling the gap in-between. Because of this, his nose is now somewhat tear-drop shaped.
	Sesame Street Season 20 (1988-1997)	Herry is resculpted with a more cheerful expression and a different head shape, resulting in a smaller mouth and a shorter eyebrow. His nose has also gotten shorter, while his fur has become longer, shaggier, and a more vibrant blue. This version of Herry was also seen in Elmo's World: Happy Holidays!, several Macy's Parades and in Episode 4206.
	Sesame Street Season 29 (1997)	This Herry puppet (seen in "Up and Down") has a less-rounded head than the previous, with wilder fur on his face, eyebrow that extends beyond his eyes, a larger nose, and a mouth that does not open and close as widely as the previous.
	Sesame Street Season 29 (1997-present)	Herry is modified with a head shape resembling the 70’s puppet and a less-obstructed mouth. His eyebrow is at its thinnest.

-Since 2001, Herry has only made occasional appearances on the show. Though, upon returning recently for the 2008 [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]] and a cameo in [[Episode 4206]], he’s appeared to have reverted back to the previous design.
