VON COUNT, Count
(Sesame Street)
Neighborhood of Sesame Street
Count Von Count speaks with a Transylvania accent, wears a black cape and sports
fangs [a la Dracula]. The Count’s obsession wasn't with sucking blood but rather
counting numbers. As he often said "I love to count! 1,2,3,4,..." He once went
to his bank and withdrew his entire account asking the teller to give him only
one dollar bills. After all of the money had been counted, he re-deposited the
money, gleefully counting the money over again in front of the perplexed bank
teller. Note: Count Von Count counted only to 20 at first. In 1986 he took
viewers up to 40 to find the cookbook page with a recipe for peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches.
