Back in November '03, I was attending a convention in North Hollywood that was filled with numerous celebrities from different eras of the silver screen to television. It was a blessed event.
Alaina Reed-Hall ('Olivia' from "Sesame Street") was there-- attending with cast members from "227".
We talked at-length about "Sesame Street", and she said she loved the work on the show because it appealed to children and educated parents. I brought up the subject of when 'Mr. Hooper' died, and she reflected from when she read that episode's script. She called the show's producers because one line in the script said that "Mr. Hooper was dead." She thought at first that this would possibly be a little too much for children to hear, but they responded by saying that being direct is what the show is all about. She said that her favorite Muppet on the show was 'Oscar the Grouch'. When asked why she left the show-- she pointed down to the collection of 8x10 pictures on her table-- specifically to the cast photograph of "227." At first, when starting the NBC sitcom, she adjusted to doing both shows, but "Sesame Street" filmed strictly in New York, while "227" was based out of Los Angeles.
