6. I remember that. I forget why they switched to "shag carpet" green, but I read it once.

There really weren't any other orange characters except Ernie. Still, they did have a reason. Damn. Now I'm going to lose sleep.

Unknown Facts About Oscar the Grouch

L. Vincent Poupard, Yahoo! Contributor Network

When most people think of Oscar the Grouch, visions of a green puppet that lives in a trash can come to mind. Most people do not know that Oscar was originally yellow in the first episode of the show. This was changed for two reasons.

First off, there was another yellow character that was on the show by the name of Big Bird. The producers of Sesame Street did not want it to appear that they only had yellow characters.

Secondly, it was argued that a character that lived in a garbage can would not be a bright yellow color. The character would have to be a darker color since he lived in garbage.

The producers then went to work to change Oscar the Grouch's color. The first color that they came up with was orange. Oscar was orange for almost the entire first month of taping. Then one day, someone came up with the idea of changing his color to green. This idea for the color of Oscar is what we have grown up with.
