'Sesame Street' on 6th Street; Oscar the Grouch brings some cheer (and there's Big Bird)

Crews were (are?) out on Sixth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue today ... filming something with Oscar the Grouch ... Vinny & O shared these photos...



Oscar doesn't have a nose, as you may have noticed these past 48 years, and we can reveal that he also doesn't have legs...



And Oscar can never be far from his pal Big Bird, who was also spotted being filmed... (not in character yet here..)





Just about the entire "Sesame Street" cast was in Tompkins Square Park last month to film a commercial for the Chrysler brand of automobiles.

Crews were in Tompkins Square Park today to film a Chrysler commercial featuring characters from "Sesame Street" ... and it looked like the whole squad was on hand...

Derek Berg shared these photos...





Despite being filmed in the middle of a public park with iconic TV characters on a beautiful June day, we heard that crew members didn't always appreciate people taking photos...



Steven shared this photo of Count von Count in the passenger side...



... and more shots of the characters via Christopher J. Ryan...





The filming apparently will continue tomorrow.

The Muppets take Manhattan, sort of

Dave on 7th notes that a crew is filming something with a Muppet Murray Monster now in Tompkins Square Park near the dog run.

One dog owner told us that the crew members were grumbling about so many dogs barking.

Earlier, a very special EV Grieve correspondent noted that the poor Muppet Murray Monster had seemingly been impaled...

And what Muppet is this? Elmo's Crusty Cousin? Thanks to a reader... it's Murray Monster.

First photos from the "Sesame Street" shoot today at Tompkins Square Park: How soon before the paparazzi and groupies (and drugs, natch) arrive?

On Avenue B. I'm going to heckle Fozzie Bear. (Uh, is he still on the show...?)

They're filming the episode in which the rent on Bert and Ernie's one-bedroom basement apartment goes from $900 to $2,950
