Mr. Jenkins

I recently saw the sketch where Grover, as an elevador operador, demonstrates in and out. This is included at You Tube, but in that sketch, he is referred to as Mr. Jenkins. Should we change this article, since that name was used much earlier? I think that's what we do for characters who had many different names, but not any that were used more than once. I don't think the name Mr. Johnson was used more than once. --Minor muppetz 02:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't see that it's the same character [1]. It's just a Fat Blue Anything Muppet voiced by Jim Henson. —Scott (talk) 03:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

But it's the same look and attire (though I can't remember if the nose is the same color). I don't know when the Grover the Elevator Operator sketches were made, but it looks like they were made in the early 1970s. He had a pretty generic personality in that sketch (the other characters, even established ones, seemed to have generic personalities in those sketches). During the early years Jim Henson performed Fta blue characters who looked identical, and they appeared to have generic personalities, but his personality seemed a bit generic in the first Waiter Grover sketch as well (though it seems like it was developed a bit more by Episode 406). I don't know if we need a seperate page for Mr. jenkins. --Minor muppetz 19:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Video Games

Does anyone else remember a Sega Genesis game about Mr. Johnson and Grover at the restaurant? I added a paragraph about it to the article, but we can always use some more information about it if anyone else has any (like the title of the game, for instance). I played the game when I was only about two or three, but surprisingly I remember it in great detail. Please tell me I'm not the only one! -- User:Lycanthrope777 00:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

The game was called "Counting Cafe" and is readily available on ebay. Nobody there mentions Mr. Johnson's role, but the stock description says that there wer 36 levels and 15 classic characters, and simply that Grover must count to serve up the orders ... -- Wendy (talk) 05:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I must remember a lot less about it than I thought... lol Maybe it's because I played it when I was really young (see above) and I probably didn't get very far in the game. Sorry if any of the information in the article was wrong; I was just going by what I remember. -- Lycanthrope777 17:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you brought it up; we didn't have anything on the wiki about it. In general, though, it's better not to go by your memories. Memories are tricky, and can change easily -- it's better to work from facts that you can verify. -- Danny (talk) 19:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Relative

This is incredibly stupid, but is he related to Bob Johnson? -- Zanimum 17:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Ha, that'd be funny. But other than the last name, I don't think there's ever been any evidence to suggest it. — Scott (talk) 17:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it is stupid, and no he isn't. The "Mr. Johnson" name was mentioned as a throwaway, and we use it to distinguish him from the Fat Blue pattern. Though I did joke with Danny, when the discovery of Bob's was first added, whether this meant that at some point his family interbred with a clan of Fat Blue Anythings with a penchant for restaurant dining.

Elmo's World

Did anyone remember this character from the food episode of Elmo's World? This may be the last known appearence of him to me. Any ideas? -- User:Peaceson 23:15, April 15, 2006

He has appeared since then. The "Food" segment is from season 30, and I believe that a few more sketches with Mr. Johnson were produced in seasons 31 and 32. Aside from that, since that season Mr. Johnson has appeared in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, CinderElmo, Let's Eat!, A Celebration of Me, Grover, and an episode from season 36. --Minor muppetz 18:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
