Talk:Count von Count: Difference between revisions

David Bowie

Was the Count based off of David Bowie? There is a distinctive physical resemblence (especially the lazy eye), and their singing voices are similar as well. And Bowie was topping the charts when the Count made his debut... hmm. UndeniablyJordan 15:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naah, can't be, as David Bowie is British and Sesame Street is a US show... Seriously though: this might just be a coincidence. Bowie was way up in the charts routinely since about the end of the 60s. If, on the other hand, you know some authoritative sources backing your supposition, this really should be in the article, together with the relevant citations.--GrafZahl 09:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fan club

The following text was added by anon:

The count's only known active fanclub today is located in Jerusalem, Israel in the school of Leyada. The club has different activities such as counting and worshiping the count.

I'm deleting it from the article because the information is hard to verify. Especially that the fan club should be the only known active seems somewhat dubious to me. Nevertheless, if Count fan clubs are for real, it should get a mention, I think.--GrafZahl 08:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mental Disorders sentence

That mental disorders paragraph (currently the second paragraph) has gotta' be bunk, if not vandalism. Anyone want to source it? If no one responds I'm gonna' delete it after a while. --Mrcolj 22:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably more like Original Research, if anything. It'd be interesting if a source could be found, though. Powers 02:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

I am really not liking this picture. Would it really be that hard to get a screenshot of The Count, rather than a person dressed up as him with a fan. I'm not critising the photo, I just think one of him on Seasame Street would suit the article better.

I'll look for a screenshot and change the pic. Any objections? --Rachel Cakes 06:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, this never happened. But I agree. Ideally we should have a pic of the actual puppet. I'm going to see if I can fix this. - It doesn't stick. (talk) 18:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'm going to have to read-up on uploading pix to Wikipedia as I've not done that before. If it proves to be too big a PITA, I might take a pass on it for now, but upon looking at the current pic's details I see that it is incorrectly labeled as Public Domain (it isn't). Better we find something suitable for Fair use. --- It doesn't stick. (talk) 18:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Jacobson as Count ?

I think Eric Jacobson should take over as Count, when Jerry leaves Sesame Street.

Why ? Because I want him performing more than just Frank's characters (if you heard his Guy Smiley, i'm sure you'd agree). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.229.57.239 (talk • contribs) .

Youtube

There should be some mention of the various 'parody' videos of The Count that have surfaced on youtube that show The Count's words 'censored', most notably the "Song of the Count censored" video by Lemon Demon.
