For logistical reasons, not really. It's easier to maintain puppets vs trying to keep the same human actors tied to the show.

- gknoy 11y agoThe point is, Maria and Gordon __have__ been with the show for decades, and now their characters have kids. Similarly, some of the kids in earlier years still are involved as older kids. It's one thing I have really liked about the show, as it lets them show nuanced relationships (both in terms of jobs and family).
- Splines 11y agoAh, I see. I'll admit to not seeing the show for the past few years. Good to see that they're still there!
- sopooneo 11y agoBut they have. And to agree with both you and the parent post, watching with my child the other day, I noticed an adult actor that looked familiar. I looked it up, and he had originally been one of the child actors when I was watching as a kid. Granted he wasn't anywhere near as frequent as the puppet characters, but still amazing.
