Hi TotallySpiesFan, mind if I call you TSF?
Made all the changes you suggested except for two: Busya will stay as is, cause that's her name in Russia similar to why I have Xiao Mei Zi listed as such instead of Little Plum. Also, Leeza from HC is something I wanted to ask about. You say it's "Lisa", but after hearing it it sounded as if there was a distinct "z" pronounciation in the character's name and why she's listed as "Leeza". Can you provide any textual proof as to one way or the other? If so, please post it here and I'll take it under consideration.

Gonna have to read through the posts here to clarify my requests, but here's what I'm currently interested in finding.
A. The names of the grouch trainers/owners of the individual international worms from the Worm Olympic Games episodes.
B. The name of the Worm Aeronautics and Space Administration's chief officer, portrayed by Lynn Thigpen.
C. The names and descriptions of the characters from all four Spaceship Surprise sketches: Planet CH, Planet SH, Planet TR and Planet H.
D. The names and descripts of all the characters from the story of The Plant Who Wanted to Be a Boy from Season 34.
E. The names and descripts of all characters from the story of Numberella.
Hope to get some help from the kind folks here and have a great weekend.

Well, according to the book, "Sesame Street Unpaved", it's actually Businka, not Busya. In Hey Cinderella, Lisa is pronounced LEE-za. Besides, Baby Skeeter and Skeeter will be deleted since they're not in non-animated world.

OK then, so let me ask you this.
1 Should I make an entry in my JAWS speech dictionary to have "Lisa" pronounced as lee-za instead of lisa?
2 Businka may be the English accepted name for the character known as Busya, but I'm setting a few norms of consistency. If I changed it from Businka to Busya, I'd have to change Xiao Mei Zi back to Little Plum not to mention the entries for Da Niao and Neno. So, for those two entries I'm making an exception and keeping them with their names from the country of their respective co-productions.
3 Baby Skeeter and Skeeter "will" be deleted? Not sure if you read the comments I made on those two before, but they'll stay listed.
Reasons: A poser puppet of Baby Skeeter does indeed exist, and though I generally don't include the poser puppets in the list, this one is the exception. As for Skeeter, it's not that hard to imagine a grown-up version of Skeeter, especially when some of us have ideas for a customized figure of her using an S3 Scooter Palisades Toys figure like the one our own Quinn Rollins (better known as Gonzo) made himself.
Other than that, hope you can understand my thoughts on the stuff above.
And if you can help with any of the requests in my previous post, please go ahead and post 'em fright here. Hope to hear from you again and have a good night.

Ditto.

 

[The Count]

Uh, "Ditto" to what BHS?
Hoping for some help with the requests above so as to fill the remaining gaps for the list's next version.

Py can be changed to Pii

Sorry but it can't, the correct spelling of the name is PY. Thats how NRK writes it on their tv-guide.

10 Me thinks there was a game show hosted by Guy Smiley where there was a Sun character, Moon character, and Star character all trying to be placed in their home.

Guy Smiley's helping hand show sketch was "Where Do I Belong?"
