Wow, there's some real vitriol in this thread. I don't get the people who are angry at the Hensons for "abandoning" the Muppets by selling them to Disney. I mean, wasn't that their dad's plan before he died?

Ever since I first listened to the Avenue Q soundtrack, I thought Rick Lyon sounded uncannily like Ernie and that he'd make a great Kermit, but now that I've seen him actually doing Kermit on Colbert, I'm less sure of that earlier opinion. I can't fault his puppeteering abilities, but the voice...
