![]() ![]() The Count debuted on Sesame Street in Episode 0406, the premiere of Season 4 (1972–73), and he was conceived by Norman Stiles, who wrote the first script. The song was written by Jeff Moss as a traditional Hungarian Csárdás. The Count's signature song is "The Song of the Count". The Count was quoted as saying, "It's a square-root thing.": 34,969 is a perfect square, being 187 2. This episode was featured in a 1978 Sesame Street bedtime storybook titled "Who Stole the Count's Thunder?"Īccording to BBC News, during an interview with the More or Less team's Tim Harford, the Count said his favorite number is 34,969. For example, in episode 0974, he was counting at midnight, and as his punishment, the Amazing Mumford used magic to detach his cloud, therefore taking his thunder and lightning away until he understood. Some residents have been disturbed by it in a few episodes. The Count has a personal cloud hovering over him, which is the possibility of the source of his thunder and lightning. The von Count family includes an unnamed brother and mother as well as an Uncle Uno and grandparents. These include Countess von Backwards (debuted in Sesame Street‘s 28th season), who counts backwards, her total is indicated by a wolf howl Countess Dahling von Dahling (debuted in the 12th season) and one simply called "The Countess" (first appearing in season 8). The Count has been shown with a number of girlfriends, who tend to be vampire Countesses. The Count drives a special car, the Countmobile, which is designed to look like a bat. As a running gag, his castle has a squeaky door, which visitors always point out, only for the Count to instantly change the subject to his counting addiction. The Count lives in an old cobweb-infested castle which he shares with many bats, a wolf named Yuba, and a cat named Fatatita. Once he reaches the total number of items he is counting, thunderstorms roll (even indoors) while he laughs his iconic "Ah-Ah-Ah!" staccato laugh. But apart from these, he is typically portrayed as friendly and cheerful. The Count can occasionally lose his temper if interrupted while counting, or feel sad when there is nothing around for him to count. His signature greeting is, “They call me the Count because I love to count things.” The Count loves counting so much that he will often count anything and everything regardless of size or amount, to the point of annoying other characters. The Count's main role is to teach counting skills to children. ( March 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
