    Richard Hunt Roles

    Yeah, that's what I figured. The only reason I had some doubt is because I wondered who would go through the trouble of putting a false acting credit on the Wikipedia page of a puppeteer that hasn't been around since the early 90s. On another note, has anyone ever seen this video of Richard...

    Richard Hunt Roles

    Richard Hunt's Wikipedia page says that he voiced the character "James the Red Engine" from 1991-92 on the Thomas the Tank Engine show. I don't remember ever hearing anything about this so I was wondering if it's true or not. Since anyone can edit these pages, I'm guessing it's fake.

    Commercial rant time...

    It's pretty ridiculous but it's certainly one you won't forget, which is the point of a commercial at the end of the day.

    The Duncanville Thread

    Duncanville is a great series and I'm glad it's returning for season 2 and 3. It has a nice mix of grounded old Simpsons humor and outlandish Family Guy-style gags. The fridge episode in particular was very fun to watch.

    April Fools: Muppets Now Season 2 to premiere this fall

    Well, what you wrote out sounds more entertaining than the actual Muppets Now.

    So Sesame Street is expanding its diversity cast of Characters to explain race, but they forgot a certain character of the past...

    Yeah, I have an issue with the way they're marketing this or at least the way the media is reporting it. I think a lot of people who aren't really familiar with SS aside from the main muppets (big bird, elmo, cookie) think that this is the first time they've had a regular black character on the...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 Episode 7 - Dudley Moore

    Classic episode here. The plot of workers being replaced by machines is even more relevant in 2021 than it was in 1979. Too many great skits too, from Gonzo's bomb defusing gone wrong to Fozzie's At the disco-dance comedy mashup. This is one I'd highly recommend for anyone who wants to get into...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 Episode 5 - Victor Borge

    This episode was never commercially released prior to the Disney+ launch, so the only way I had seen it was through a recording off of Nickelodeon. It had always left me confused because they never explained why Bobby was arrested & he had just abruptly returned with no explanation. And then I...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Interesting news. I would visit these two sites daily when I was really into the Muppets back around 2013-14. I like the layout of ToughPIgs more than Muppet Mindset but they were both fun visits. Sad to see Mindset go (I even once published an article with them) but at least their articles will...

    Muppet Film and TV References

    I remember that episode, Bob's Burgers is consistently one of my favorites right now.

    Muppet Film and TV References

    LOL I came here to post this too. Seth is a huge muppets fan so I wasn't too surprised to hear Peter's reference. The fact they broke out and did the whole theme song was a shock though. Wasn't a fan of the rest of the episode too much but that part was so well-done. Interesting to note that...

    Favorite Statler and Waldorf closing comment

    My favorite one is from Season 2, Episode 1 - Don Knotts. Statler: This show is awful Waldorf: Terrible Statler: Disgusting Waldorf: See you next week? Statler: Of course. My second favorite is from Season 3, Episode 10 where Kermit tells Statler & Waldorf that if they let him hide there...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I just watched one of the new episodes called "Freaky Tuesday" where Buster and Mr. Ratburn switch bodies. And wow, this is the most I've enjoyed an episode of Arthur in years. The plot actually had me interested and it really wasn't bad at all. I guess they can still make a good episode every...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The only silver lining about Arthur's decline is that the weaker seasons are much shorter than the classic ones. Seasons 20-24 combined has less episodes than the first season.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yeah, Arthur was a big part of my childhood. I would say the first 9 seasons hold up very well. Seasons 10-15 is where you start to see signs of decline and than Season 16 is when it completely went off the rails. I'm still interested enough to check out the new season, and it's just 3 episodes...

    Disney's Muppets Problem: Can the Franchise Reckon With Its Boys' Club Culture?

    True, but it does seem like he sorta drifted away from the Muppets following the Disney acquisition, even pre-controversy.

    Disney's Muppets Problem: Can the Franchise Reckon With Its Boys' Club Culture?

    Oh wow and it looks like Kevin Clash would still be down to perform Clifford if Disney were to let him. Great find.

    Muppet Guys (And Gals) Talking: The Muppet Family Interviews Thread

    Loved this interview. I really enjoyed the part where he talked about how Richard Hunt and him used to debate about Beaker. For those who didn't watch, Richard would say that Beaker is there because he feels sorry for the poor, misguided Bunsen while Goelz says he's just there for the paycheck...

    The Muppet Show Season 2 Episodes Ranked

    It's been years since I sat down and watched The Muppet Show but I recently dusted off my TMS DVDs and gave the second season a watch. It was just about as good as I remembered it from 7-8 years ago, if not even better. So with the show's recent arrival on Disney+, I'd like to do a proper...

    Muppet series and specials that belong on Disney+

    Disney Drive-On is a web series I haven't thought about in years. Big Mean Carl and the monkey writers were definitely a highlight in that one, plus the theme song was super catchy. It's funny how the office-style setup of Drive-on resembled the 2015 series but Walter was nowhere to be found in...
