The Life of Bob

Everybody likes Bob.  Wouldn't that be great?  To be liked by everyone?

Bob is of course known for being a prominent fixture on the show since it's inception, and he's still there today.  He must REALLY LIKE Sesame Street, and why wouldn't he?  He's so popular there.

See?

Bob is a music teacher.  He loves to sing, and has a good attitude almost all of the time (once in awhile Oscar the Grouch gets on his nerves).  He lives in a simple apartment somewhere above Mr. Hooper's Store.  Bob is single.  He used to have a girlfriend, or at least "special friend," Linda, back when she was around.

Bob's favorite thing is music.  Linda is deaf.  Yet ironically, they get along so well.  He makes an effort to both teach and learn sign language, she makes an effort to learn and understand his songs.  Together, they make beautiful music.

How many other apartments are there in his building, and who lives in them?  Did anyone ever object to his piano playing?  The walls in that place were likely pretty thin.  Did he practice his SINGING too?  In the apartment, all by himself?  That might get annoying, I wonder who his next-door neighbor was?

Bob was out on the Street a lot, socializing, but part of his time had to be spent doing everyday bachelor things.  Laundromat.  Frozen dinners.  Crossword puzzles.  Library books.  Seems like it could be a lonely existence, good thing he had plenty of friends.
