You know I wonder about my pal Herry an awful lot. He seems to be forgotten, yet not entirely written out of the show yet. I still see him every year in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day SS Float, and he was in the 35th anniversery special last year. But the last time I remember seeing him in a starring role was 5 years ago in a 2000 episode when Rosita was looking for someone to be her best friend, and she found Herry who didn't have a best friend yet either. Now when I saw that I thought, this is great now mabye Herry will be around a lot more because he's Rosita's new best friend. But apparantly he had second thoughts about it, because I never saw him after that. At least not in any of the shows Iv'e seen. He does occasionally pop up in rerun clips (not classic clips but rerun clips from mabye the late 90's) but you never see him star in the main storylines anymore. I think they could very easily show him hangning out with Telly and Baby Bear. They could easily write a story about him and Zoe and Rocco, even a nice Herry and Oscar story would be fantastic (That's a pair you don't see much, even in the 80's episodes) but for some reason, this poor monster has been pushed into the background in recent years. Jerry Nelson still works on the show a little, to perform the Count, and he's making a comeback as Mumford in a few months, so why not throw Herry in there every once in a while? I'm not just talking about satisfying us classic fans either. I think kids watching the show today would really love Herry Monster (I always did) if they would just give him a chance. He's such a loveable guy, and he was always one of my favorites as a kid. He's probably my second favorite charachter, next to Cookie Monster. I remember how happy I would get to see him in a starring role years ago. I really think it's time they brought him back, give him a chance. What do the rest of you think of poor jilted Herry?
