I have a difficult time picturing the Amazing Mumford being content with his life. He clearly craved the entertainment spotlight, but wasn't exactly Guy Smiley. Did he have a day job? His own apartment? Grover should have been his roommate.

There is a person in every home, school, or workplace that is always running up to harass someone out of boredom. Sesame Street had Grover. When it wasn't "Hey Froggy baby!" it was Super Grover literally crashing out of the sky in an attempt to mediate a household argument. Did he ever get involved with Ernie and Bert when they were fighting in the middle of the night?
He also apparently liked to interfere with the business of magicians, I guess when it was his day off from the restaurant.

Was Grover ever USEFUL?
"Hey Count, let me help you count."
"Hey Forgetful Jones, I'll help you try to remember where you left your horse."
"Luis, do you need help fixing that typewriter? It's been in your window forever."
What was Amazing Mumford's deal? His tricks seemed to kind-of work, but isn't magic really just illusion? Were his magic powers ACTUAL? I sure hope not. The thought of that is kind of scary. Imagine if he was having a bad day and decided to walk around the Street making trouble for everybody. Oscar is suddenly sealed in his can and can't get out. Big Bird's nest is on fire, except not really. It just looks like it is, and everyone is momentarily terrified for no good reason. Susan is fooled by a joke pregnancy test.
