Which character was orange during the first season of Sesame Street?
Grover
Kermit the Frog
Cookie Monster
Oscar the Grouch
Fact: Oscar the Grouch has had a colorful history, quite literally. In fact, Oscar looked very different from the grumpy green monster we know today — he was orange! Jim Henson had originally envisioned him as magenta, but television sets at the time couldn’t handle such a vibrant shade. The first-season orange Oscar eventually “went on vacation” to Swamp Mushy Muddy and returned green, a dramatic change that fit his grouchy personality much better. Since then, Oscar’s scruffy green fur, gravelly voice, and unending love of trash have made him one of the most recognizable Muppets in the world.
Correct Answer: Oscar the Grouch
