open/close all folders
The Mr. Hooper era (Seasons 1-14)
The Baker
- Alex Stevens (1969, "The Baker")Jim Henson (1969, singing voice)
Character who appears in the final segment of a series of counting shorts, unofficially named by fans as the "Baker Films." The Baker is a hapless individual who, after proclaiming (to trumpet fanfare) that he has a number of baked goods in his arms, attempts to walk down a short flight of steps, but ultimately he trips and spills everything, making a huge mess.
- Butt-Monkey: Pretty hard to view him as anything but this.
- No Name Given: He is never named. He just known to fans as the Baker.
Bob Johnson
- Played by: Bob McGrath (1969-2016)
An unassuming, low-key music teacher who lives in the apartment above Hooper's Store.
- Aerith and Bob: The literal "Bob" to his brother Minneapolis's Aerith.
- Aside Glance: Trying to teach the Two-Headed Monster to play the clarinet evokes a flustered look at the camera.
- Big Damn Heroes: Bob makes his sole appearance in the 38th season so that he can coax Horatio the Elephant out of Maria's bathtub.
- Character Aged with the Actor: Arguably more visible than the others.
-
The Character Died with Him: Heavily implied on the Muppet characters' social media pages. - Cool Old Guy: Became this with time, along with Gordon and Luis.
- Cool Teacher: Was originally a shop teacher, but later became a music teacher. Quite fitting, as Bob McGrath was a music teacher himself, for a time.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: He was originally a shop teacher.
- Friend to All Children: Arguably more than any of the other adult cast members, Bob is at his warmest and most affectionate with the kids, both on- and off-camera. As Bob McGrath became a father himself not long before his tenure on Sesame Street began, this is no surprise.
- Off the set, during the 90s, McGrath found some success recording albums of kids' songs, and performing concerts for families (sometimes even joined by his own sons and daughters).
- Foil: To neurotic worrywart Telly, and sourpuss Oscar.
- Happy Birthday to You!: He teaches everyone to sing the song in ASL, to surprise Linda, in one episode.
- Manly Tears: In the episode dealing with Mr. Hooper's death, making the famous scene all the more heartbreaking - especially since the tears were unscripted.
- Mentors: Gordon and Susan are like a mom and dad; Bob is gentler.
- Nice Guy: The gentlest and sweetest of the show's male adults during the Classic era.
- The Piano Player: Given that he's a music teacher by trade, he demonstrates this trope quite a few times (usually when giving a lesson).
- Running Gag: The production staff loved to put Bob in costumes.
- Ship Tease: With Linda, for several years.
- Tenor Boy: Bob McGrath had a smooth tenor singing voice, and played the clean-cut, chipper guy-next-door/surrogate older brother role in the ensemble. He always projected a youthful air even though he was 37 when the show started.
- That Reminds Me of a Song: Of all the adults, he's the best known for his singing.
- Translator Buddy: For Linda, a lot of the time.
- Will They or Won't They?: Bob and Linda dated on and off, but their relationship never got more serious than that.
- You Are the Translated Foreign Word: Bob speaks and signs at the same time, so he doesn't have to repeat himself.
David Hobson
- Northern Calloway (1971-1989)
A young man who debuted in Season 3. Originally a law student who worked part time at Hooper's Store, he took over the store after Mr. Hooper's death in 1983.
- Cool Teacher: In a sketch where he plays a professor doing a lecture on trees.
- Cool Uncle: To his niece Akim, who appeared a few times in Seasons 13-15 as a teen, often assisting him at the store. David once mentioned a brother named Gregory, who is probably Akim's father.
- Put on a Bus: Moved away from Sesame Street to look after his elderly grandmother after Season 20 and sold the store to Mr. Handford.
- Raised by Grandparents: It's implied that he was this growing up, since his grandmother is the closest thing to a parent of his to appear on the show.
- A Taste of Their Own Medicine: In one episode, after making fun of Big Bird for having a supposedly imaginary friend (Snuffy), he gets a call from a friend that Big Bird has never seen before, and is accused by Big Bird of having an imaginary friend of his own. David spends the entire episode trying to convince Big Bird that he's telling the truth, then realises that this must be how Big Bird feels when people accuse him of lying about Snuffy.
- That Reminds Me of a Song: Outside of Bob, he tended to have the most musical spotlight moments among the human cast.
Gordon Robinson
- Garret Saunders (test pilots)
Matt Robinson (1969-1972)
Hal Miller (1972-1974)
Roscoe Orman (1974-2016, 2023-present)
A father figure to the Muppets and kids on the street, and the de facto leader when things go wrong.
- Bald of Authority: From the beginning he was the street's Team Dad, but once Roscoe Orman took over the role he specifically became this type.
- The Bus Came Back: Gordon returned in a Season 54 episode taking a much prominent role there.
- Character Aged with the Actor: Just like the other humans.
- Cool Teacher: He's a middle school science teacher.
- Deadpan Snarker: He's a pretty wisecracking if not sarcastic fellow.
- Demoted to Extra: Gordon, his wife Susan, Maria, Luis, and Bob, remained major characters for almost 30 years until after 1998 when they were gradually phased out. By Season 40, they only made sporadic new appearances before being reduced to background extras. They were eventually dropped altogether from the cast in Season 46. However, Gordon did return in the Season 54 premiere episode.
- Game Show Host: He hosted What Happens Next?
- Happily Married: To Susan. They only argued once or twice.
- Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Elmo admires him enough to have followed him around in a bald cap.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: In Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird:"Big Bird, jump!"
Grace Hobson
- Clarice Taylor (1976-1989)
- Country Mouse: She lives on a farm and once argued with David over whether country life was better than city life.
- Parental Substitute: Is hinted to have raised David, since his parents are never seen.
- Sassy Black Woman: She can be rather outspoken at times.
Mr. Hooper
- Will Lee (1969-1982)
A grandfather figure to those around him, and the original owner of Hooper's Store.
- Accidental Misnaming: That's Hooper, Big Bird, Hooper!
- Alliterative Name: His full name is Harold Hooper.
- Ambiguously Jewish: At least until Bob wished him a Happy Hanukkah in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
- Blind Without 'Em: In one episode during the era when everyone thought Snuffy was imaginary, he came face-to-face with Snuffy, but couldn't see him because he had lost his glasses.
- Bus Crash: When his death was finally revealed on the show, he had already been absent for a year following the death of Will Lee.
- Cool Old Guy: He was a snarky, funny guy.
- Death Is a Sad Thing: Played so, so straight with his death. In doing the episode's defining scene in one take, an unintentional lesson — that even adults cry and feel deeply saddened when someone they are close to dies, and that oftentimes entire families cry together in times of grief (indeed, several of the adult characters are visibly emotional and on the verge of tears as they explain to Big Bird that Mr. Hooper died and is not coming back...ever) — made its indelible mark on this episode and earning it critical acclaim.
- Friendly Shopkeeper: Mr. Hooper was unfailingly kind and friendly to all patrons of his store. In a riff on the Gift of the Magi Plot, Ernie and Bert both sell their prize possessions to him in order to buy Christmas gifts for the other. After Ernie and Bert realize what had happened, Mr. Hooper returns the prize possessions to them as his Christmas gift to them.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mr Hooper is somewhat cantankerous and a huge Deadpan Snarker, but he is a very good guy.
- Last-Name Basis: As the oldest on the street in his day, he considered this a mark of respect.
- Never Say "Die": A subversion, which is still met with acclaim today; after his actor died, the writers decided to use the opportunity to directly address death for the show's young audience.
- Noodle Incident: How he died is never revealed to avoid causing kids to fear that they or a loved one will die in some specific way.
- Shirtless Scene: On the beach, in Hawaii. Obviously not played for Fanservice.
- Suddenly Ethnicity: Bob wishes him a Happy Hanukkah in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
- They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: Harold Hooper was seldom referred to by his first name. Two known instances among a handful: The episode when Hooper got his GED (sometime in the mid-1970s); and in 1980, when Maria took a job as a census taker and interviewed Hooper.
- Unexpected Successor: David had to pretty much scrap his plans for law school when Mr. Hooper died.
- Who's Watching the Store?: Subverted. Mr. Hooper would either close the store or ask someone else to run it.
Linda
- Linda Bove (1971-2002)
A librarian and Bob's (apparent) girlfriend. Also deaf. Initially, she was Barkley's owner, before he became the community's pet upon her departure.
- The Bus Came Back: In Sesame Street’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.
- Character Aged with the Actor: Shows her age in the 50th anniversary special.
- Disabled Snarker: She once subbed for Oscar. That's got to count for something.
- Inspirationally Disadvantaged: Averted at actress Linda Bove's request. Both the actress and the character are deaf, but Bove specifically requested that her deafness not be treated as the defining aspect of the character, and that the writers not shy away from jokes about ASL.
- Never Learned to Talk: She can't talk because she's been deaf all her life. As such, she communicates with sign language.
- Ship Tease: With Bob for several years.
- Will They or Won't They?: Bob and Linda dated, but they never got married.
Luis Rodriguez
- Emilio Delgado (1971-2016)
A Chicano who runs the Fix-It Shop with Maria.
- Gratuitous Spanish: Not so much these days, now that Rosita's around.
- Character Aged with the Actor: In later years, Luis along with the rest of the adults starts to show his old age.
- The Character Died with Him: Heavily implied by Elmo on social media.
- Happily Married: Married to Maria.
- I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Whenever he needed to slip away and change into Señor Zero, he would make up a nonsensical excuse like "I forgot to feed my running shoes" or "I think I left my wallet in a dishwasher."
- Mr. Fixit: He specializes in toaster repair.
- Pet the Dog: Luis and his Promotion to Love Interest for Maria kicked off when Maria was impressed by Luis caring for a stray kitten.
- Secret Identity: In a few episodes, he has one called "Señor Zero", basically an Affectionate Parody of Zorro, which he would assume any time someone said the word "none".
- Team Dad: Came to share this role with Gordon over the years.
Mr. Macintosh
- Chet O'Brien (1971-1992)
A fruit vendor at the arch next to Hooper's Store.
- Meaningful Name: A fruit peddler who shares the name Macintosh with a type of apple, which is part of Apple's logo.
Maria Rodriguez (née Figueroa)
- Sonia Manzano (1971-2015)
Maria came to Sesame Street from Puerto Rico. She worked as Luis' employee (and eventual co-partner) before settling down, marrying him, and having a daughter, Gabriela.
- Aborted Arc:
- She was hooked up with David until the mid-1980s.
- According to Louise Gikow, who wrote for various international co-productions, the reason why the David–Maria romance angle was dropped was due to health problems involving David's actor, Northern Calloway. Calloway had been battling mental illness since the 17th season began in 1985, and by the time the 20th season ended in 1989, he became so ill and ill-looking that he had to leave the show, dying of excited delirium complications only a year later in 1990.
- All Women Love Shoes: At one point, she goes shoe-shopping and ends up trying on eighty pairs before finally finding the right ones for her.
- Apple of Discord: Once before their marriage, she successfully petitioned Luis for a raise.
- Aside Glance: One of the most noted characters of the human cast to do this, particularly when dealing with Muppet characters.
- Character Aged with the Actor: Maria’s age starts to clearly show in later years. Along with the rest of the human cast.
- Dude Magnet:
- A lot of Muppets have had a crush
on Maria throughout the show: Big Bird, The Count, Grover, Placido Flamingo, Snuffy, and Stinky. Maria herself hooked up with David and then ultimately married Luis. It's also implied that Oscar has a crush on her. - As noted in the 2008 book Street Gang, during the period when Marty Robinson was playing the front end of Snuffy, the writers created a puppy love storyline for him. It was art imitating life as the puppeteer had as big a crush on Sonia Manzano as Snuffy did on Maria. He said that they (the puppeteers) all had crushes on her. So Sonia Manzano was not only a Dude Magnet on the show (Big Bird, Snuffy, the Count, Stinky, Placido Flamingo, Grover, David, and Luis), she was also one in real life!
- A lot of Muppets have had a crush
- Happily Married: To Luis.
- Invisible Main Character: After Oscar spritzed her with "Disappear-O". Oscar's elephant made her visible again.
- Ms Fix It: Along with Luis, she runs the fix-it shop.
- Pie in the Face: The famous "Three Whipped Cream Pies on the Wall" number, in which she pies David, Bob and Luis and then, in a bit of Laser-Guided Karma, gets nailed with several pies thrown at her from offscreen. In a later episode, Fluffy, who is learning the art of pie throwing from Oscar, throws a pie at Oscar, which hits Maria by mistake (much to Oscar's chagrin, Maria finds this funny).
- Promotion to Love Interest: After knowing Luis for 15 or so years, they got married.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: Gorgeous in a dress, and consistently so.
- Spicy Latina: Not normally an example, but she can lose patience a bit more dramatically than most of the other adults: see, for example, her "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Oscar in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street after he caused Big Bird to go missing.
- Stock Foreign Name: A young Puerto Rican woman named Maria...sounds familiar. It was even Lampshaded on the show a few times.
- Team Mom: When she first joined the show she was more of a Cool Big Sis figure while Susan was the Team Mom of the show, but as Maria matured she took on a more motherly role too. In the direct-to-video special where Big Bird gets sick and goes to the hospital, the receptionist asks her "Are you his mother?" and she responds "Not exactly... Sort of... Yeah."
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Oscar. He's normally just as rude to her as to anyone else, and she has no qualms about standing up to him (for example, in the above-mentioned Christmas Eve scene), but they've shared more friendship moments than he has with any other human. When she gave birth to Gabi, he was the one who drove her to the hospital in his Sloppy Jalopy.
- Wacky Cravings: She shared and enjoyed a lunch with Oscar while pregnant.
- Writer on Board: For a stretch of 20 years, Sonia Manzano contributed scripts to the show. (The character's writing creative writing abilities, on the other hand, are not currently unknown...)
- Written-In Infirmity: Her pregnancy was written into the show, with her actual daughter playing the role of Gabi until age four.
The Number Painter
- Paul Benedict (1972)
A smocked painter who paints a given number from 2 to 11 wherever he wants to. His character appeared in a series of 10 segments teaching number shape recognition and how the number is drawn. These would air throughout the 1970s and 1980s; Benedict's co-stars in these shorts were Stockard Channing and Jerome Raphael.
- Hilarity Ensues: Most of the Painters' antics would get him arrested for such things as trespassing, vandalism, and criminal mischief.
- Inner Monologue: All of his lines.
- Mad Libs Catchphrase: "(I'm) going to paint a [numeral]".
- No Name Given: Like the Baker, he never gets a name.

- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Paints a number 11 on the window of a doctor's waiting room door, only for Mac to clean it straight off.
- Too Dumb to Live: Has painted inside a gorilla enclosure, and on a busy road.

- Sick Episode: In one episode, she has a mild flu on her birthday.
Gina Jefferson
- Alison Bartlett O'Reilly (1987-2015)
She started out as an assistant at Hooper's Store during The '80s. A lot has changed since then, and now she's a veterinarian.
