Forgetful Jones is a cowboy, so named because he always forgets everything. He appeared regularly on Sesame Street from Season 12 through Season 22. His horse is Buster, and his longtime (and longsuffering) girlfriend is Clementine.

Forgetful's cowboy characteristics include referring to people as "pardner," singing with a guitar, and starring in Old West sketches and movie spoofs (including of High Noon and Oklahoma). However, as his name indicates, his defining trait is a severe short term memory problem, unable to remember instructions, what he was going to do, how to perform basic functions, the names of most of those he encounters, and sometimes even his own identity. In street scenes, other characters (often Maria) try to help him overcome the issue, with limited success. During the period when Big Bird's adult friends doubted the existence of Mr. Snuffleupagus, Forgetful met Snuffy more than once but, predictably, forgot who exactly it was. Despite all of this, Forgetful shows awareness of his condition and sings poignantly about how his memory issues do not impact his ability to care for others, serenading Clementine with " I'll Always Remember I Love You."

When addressing others, Forgetful's memory issues (which varied according to scene length and purpose) could range from simply trailing off before the name is supplied, using "whatshisname" or "stranger," or uttering an incorrect name seemingly at random. On occasion the wrong names were used for inside jokes or other gags beyond simple incorrectness. In Episode 2313, he gets Clementine's name wrong multiple times (to the point of calling her Ralph in a flashback), while in Episode 2618, he refers to the topographically named Prairie Dawn as "Desert."

Others in Forgetful's circle of family and friends include his other horse Whatshisname (Buster's brother), parents, a cousin, an uncle, and a great-great grandfather.

Writer Norman Stiles, who created the character, spoke at length about his function beyond the comedy, how the curriculum goal was to address cognitive function, the importance of memory, and how to remember:

"There was an old cowboy movie, something like Cowboy Jones[note 1] and I put the two of them together. The idea was that he was so forgetful that you could go through the steps [of remembering] with this character - but the kids would be ahead of him, which was a teaching tool. If the kids are a little bit ahead, they were going to be more engaged.

Richard Hunt was great with that character. He gave it so much of the personality, the goofiness. The idea was that he wasn't terribly upset, and nobody was upset with him. You wanted kids to understand that everybody forgets, just like everybody makes mistakes. "
-emmy magazine #10 (2016).[1]

Muppet Workshop designer and builder Laurent Linn also discussed Hunt's approach to the character in the book Quilting with the Muppets: "Forgetful Jones...brought out more of the simple, sweet side of Richard, in the midst of some of his other more outrageous characters."

After the death of Richard Hunt, Forgetful Jones stopped appearing as a major character. However, he continued to make occasional non-speaking cameos. These include the finale of Elmo Saves Christmas, in a flashback sequence in Episode 4197, some Season 45 episodes, Caroll Spinney's retirement party, and in a 2018 web video " 12 Days of Christmas Cookies."

The character eventually began to make speaking appearances again in Kinect Sesame Street TV, the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con (during the "Sesame Street Puppets Live!" show), and Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration; performed in these instances by Matt Vogel.[2] [3] He also appears in The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo as an audience member.

According to Episode 1561, Forgetful actually lives about 40 miles away from Sesame Street.

Summary / First Appearance

Description

Brushing Teeth Episode 1446

Clementine reminds Forgetful Jones to do something before going to bed, something that involves teeth. Forgetful tries to remember, and eventually figures that he has to brush Buster's teeth.

Guy Smiley hosts "This is Your Story" and salutes Forgetful Jones, with visits from his parents, a teacher and his Uncle Ned (whom he continually guesses for every other voice). Guy gives Forgetful Jones a photo album so next time he can actually recognize his loved ones.

Bus Fuss Episode 1975

Forgetful Jones and a Honker wait at the bus stop for a bus to Madison Square Garden, where the two will meet up with Clementine for a rodeo. Luis tells the pair to take the #11 bus and makes sure Forgetful remembers it. He forgets it immediately after and as others ( Susan, Oscar, and Bob) pass by, he thinks he's taking the "Good Morning" or the "Phooie!" bus. All the while, the Honker frantically tries correcting him. Bob passes by and gives them the time, 11 o'clock, reminding Forgetful of the correct bus, just in time to boast about when Luis returns.

Mr. Honker honks when guessing sounds in this game show, but since Guy Smiley can't understand his honks, the Honker brings the objects in. Sounds include a cow (to which he brings in Gladys the Cow), a horse (to which he brings in Buster the Horse, accompanied by Forgetful Jones, who forgets whether or not he's a horse), and a fire engine (which Mr. Honker brings, full of honkers).

Clementine and some cowboys sing a song to Forgetful Jones to remind him of what they are, but Forgetful keeps guessing different things.

One by one, each kid has to leave, leaving Forgetful alone. At the last minute, Forgetful remembers what he wanted the kids to help him with: subtraction. But now he can't remember what he wanted to subtract.

"Write it Down" Episode 2295

Director Kermit is filming Oklahoma with Forgetful Jones as the star. Forgetful is supposed to enter sing " Oklahoma!" but sings "Ache-lahoma!", "Eeklahoma!" and "Ike-lahoma!" instead. When he finally gets it right, the production assistant says it's time for lunch. John Weidman wrote this sketch.[4]

High 12 Episode 2614

In a parody of High Noon, Clementine doesn't want Forgetful to meet Sinister Sam, the meanest man in the west, at the train station at twelve, especially since it is their wedding day. Forgetful convinces her that "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do". When Sam shows up, he tells Forgetful, in a threatening manner, that he has something to say: That it's nice of him to remember to meet him at the train station.
