Since MuppetVision 3D will be going away this weekend, I’m predicting Waldo will be showcased for Week #42.

Now that I got to see more of Andy and Randy more than I ever could in the past, there are two ways I can tell them apart: their heads (Andy has a slightly long snout) and their voices (Randy sounds a lot like Stinky the Skunk, performed by Dave Goelz, from the Animal Show).

Also, there’s another video showing Miss Piggy, displeased again about not being picked for a week that she thought was meant for her. First, there’s Valentine’s Day, taken by Polly Lobster, and now the end of May, taken by her nephews. This just might become a running gag - I wonder if they’ll...

And wouldn’t you know? I correctly guessed one puppeteer responsible for performing one of them, specifically Randy.

Time to place yer bets! And by that, I mean time to predict who’s next. To make things easier, let’s predict the performer who played/plays a certain Muppet. For example, if you guess it’s Dave Goelz and the character turns out to be Gonzo, Beauregard, Chip, or Waldorf (the latter of whom...

4/7 of showcased Muppets have been confirmed. It won’t be long before we see some fan content of Sweetums pop up. I’m most looking forward to cartoonist Dave Alvarez’s portrayal - every week, he usually uploads a Muppet illustration a few hours after the reveal.

It’s a beautiful day (monster) Don’t let it get away (monster) I couldn’t pass up on this opportunity to make a reference to a U2 song.

Week #39 - He was first conceived as the Crown-Grabber. He made appearances in the early years of Sesame Street as well as The Muppet Show. He’s also fuzzy and blue, but it’s neither Grover, Herry, nor Cookie. Isn’t that BEAUTIFUL? Today is the DAY we celebrate a special kind of MONSTER.

Guess what! Your prediction for May 9th came true! We’ve got five characters originally performed by Jim Henson out of the way. That just leaves Waldorf, who I assume will be paired with Statler, Newsie the Newsman (that nickname Xerus coined back in 2005 really grew on me), and maaaybe Mahna...

You might be right about Kermit being featured on the 9th after all. This video just came up with him encouraging fans to dress up in green and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Muppets. Click here to check it out.

What if they do Emily, Fozzie’s ma, for Mother’s Day weekend? If that’s the case, they’d probably move Kermit to the following week.

Coming in at #37, the 10th featured Jerry Nelson character: Dr. Julius Strangepork. Looks like the cast of Pigs in Space is 2/3 complete.

Let’s see what characters we have remaining. This list has characters who I believe with 100% certainty will each have their own week: Beauregard Big Mean Carl Bobo the Bear Uncle Deadly Fozzie Bear Gonzo Dr. Julius Strangepork Kermit the Frog Lips Marvin Suggs The Newsman (I saw his piece on...

Week #36 brings us an unexpected (and I truly mean unexpected) brass-playing character whose name was given to her by Rashida Jones: Dolores. I’m pretty sure when you see/hear the name, you think of that young Colombian lady with super hearing, but this is the Muppets we’re talking about. I’ve...

It was bound to happen someday. I just wonder if they’ll find a way to put MV3D on Disney+, along with other defunct 3D shows, including, but not limited to, Captain EO and It’s Tough To Be a Bug. As for the roller coaster, it’s about time Aerosmith got a successor with immortality. Imagine the...
