Since we're on the subject of Hunt, I noticed that his voice got a lot deeper in the mid '80s. Especially in the Muppets Take Manhattan, Scooter and Janice have significantly deeper voices than they did just 3 years ago in Muppet Caper. I wonder why that was.

I don't think he'd do a terrible job actually, Scooter and Ernie have a similar vocal tone.

That's interesting to hear. Do you know when they filmed it? I'd guess production began sometime in mid-1991.

I don't know, I'd say Follow That Bird is a great film.

The hate for Muppets From Space is something I will never understand. Of all the muppet films made in the last 35 years, it captures the energy of the characters, franchise, and humor best. I will always stand by it.

I know that Jim Henson was still credited as a performer on Sesame Street until 2001. Not sure how long Hunt or Nelson were. I think one of Jerry Nelson's last performance as the Count (8 is great song) still airs every so often.

This might be the Mandela effect, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that Richard Hunt wanted to perform his characters (Scooter, Statler, Janice, and Beaker) for the Muppets Christmas Carol but that he couldn't due to being severely ill. Does anyone know if this is true? Was Hunt aware...

I think even if Sesame Street were to end, it would still live on in yearly specials or talk show appearances. But, yeah, I have to agree. The show is a sad shell of what it used to be. Gone are the days of hilarious Bert & Ernie skits or Fat Blue and Grover. The 50th Anniversary special would...

Nice to meet you MooglySue and groverandgrapes, welcome aboard!

I am selling the original 1988 VHS copy of Big Bird's Favorite Party Games. The case has some wear, but it is ultimately in good condition. You can bid in the Ebay listing below or use the "Buy it Now" option if you want to quickly get it for yourself. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266382540155

RIP to Tony Bennet, he is the first guest star of season one of Muppets Tonight to pass away. Season 2 guest star Prince was the first to pass away altogether, followed by Don Rickles and Coolio (they co-starred in the same episode).

Very helpful list. Sad to see only 1/3 of the season 3 guest stars remain. It feels like the muppet show guest stars have been dying more than usual. RIP to Harry, Glenda, and Alan.

Digit would have made a good fit for Muppet Haunted Mansion but they clearly have no intention of bringing him back, especially since Dave Goelz is still around but they still won't bother.

Nice to meet you Floyd! The Muppet Movie is my second-favorite next to The Great Muppet Caper.

Rest in peace to Harry Belafonte. His episode is a classic, sad to see him go. The list of living Muppet Show guest stars continues to shrink at a depressing rate.

I'm happy for Peter but it sucks that Steve was fired just a few years before he would have gotten the opportunity to finally be in a project where Lips has a prominent role, after playing the character for 35 years with no more than a handful of lines here and there.

I definitely agree. They've toned the characters down over the years, mostly due to Disney taking away the edge of the Muppets and the new performers not having the same chemistry. The problem is, their appearances on The Muppet Show that didn't involve them performing were so far and few that...

This definitely looks promising and you can tell the effort is really there (as opposed to something like Muppets Now). I'm honestly happy there's no Kermit because I'm still having trouble with Vogel's performance but I'm hoping there will be more muppets included than just the band. Maybe they...
