What a great opportunity to get an invitation only visit to the studio in Astoria, Queens, thanks to a neighbor who used to work there.
Outside the emormous studio building in Astoria, Queens:

The Monster Day Care:

Hooper's Store, the lunch counter, the courtyard:

Shooting "Telly Tut", Egyptian set, see the puppeteers under the set and
their monitors. Puppeteer visits Jasmine (he does Slimey the Worm and Stinky
the Plant too).
Jasmine got a small role on a Home & Garden TV network (cable) commercial, where they pan from the Christmas tree to a sleeping Jasmine snuggled on a big chair by the fireplace. They played around with camera angles and such for a long time until they started doing some real takes, and Jasmine patiently lay on the chair for one and a half hours, only sitting up once when her ear fell asleep!
