The Evolution of Telly Monster (1979-Present)

Image	As seen in	Year	Notes
	Sesame Street Season 10	early 1979	Telly debuts in Episode 1257 as the "Television Monster." Though very much resembling design-wise his present day self, Telly has swirling red spirals for pupils and antennae sprouting from his head. He also has a more triangular shaped head, a more bulbous nose, and longer eyelashes.
	Sesame Street	1979 - Mid-1980's	After his initial appearances, Telly adopted his more recognizable persona, becoming an obsessive worrier. The puppet is refurbished; removing all aspects of his original incarnation. He has a wider pear shaped head and a larger nose which becomes a solid tear drop shape.
