    Favorite Richard Hunt characters

    Yeah, Richard did a really good job on some of the sketches with the Beetles - he sounds really authentic. Those are some of my favorite Richard moments on SST - and of course, I do like Placido Flamingo and Don Music as well. (The outtakes from the Declaration of Independence sketch really...

    The RHLC!

    Merry Christmas, everyone, and I hope everyone's having a good day today. Hi, Charlotte, and welcome to the RHLC - my name's Erin. That's cute that your kids think that they have Janice for a mum. And by all means, do give them regular doses of the Muppets - it's essential for a healthy life...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, that is a good point - one of my co-workers really loves "Muppet Family Christmas." In fact, she and I had a nice long discussion about it at the office a while back - and she's just as hacked off as we are that Disney cut out the scene with the Snowman. They were showing "A Very Merry...

    MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

    Storyteller: Thanks for the cookies, Ed. The worst is over; the poor girl just needs tea and sympathy. Scooter: And an air bag wouldn't hurt, either. How's the wrist? Nora: The swelling's gone down a bit...but the doctor said keep the splint on it for a little while. Beige: Yeah, and use lots...

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    Oh, for the love of Pete... What scares me is that there are actually people who agree with Bill O'Reilly. :concern:

    MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

    Erin: Hi, Ed - I'll fire off the first few responses in a bit - we've got a little emergency here. Someone get an icepack! (to Nora) If you can move it, it's not broken. Nora: (clutching left wrist) Ow... Scooter: Boy, the sidewalk down by the bookshop has so much ice on it you could skate on...

    The RHLC!

    To err is human, but to really foul things up takes a computer...glad to hear you've got everything up and running again, Sara. There's talk that we're going to get a really big snowstorm here late tonight, so we're all hunkering down here. Break out the cocoa and the cookies...

    Top 10 Muppeteers of all time?

    Wow...you guys are right, that is a tough one. Jim assembled himself a really broad talent pool, of course. But I agree: it's a given that Jim, Frank, Jerry, Richard and Dave would show up on everyone's list. Here's my list, in no particular order: Jim Henson Frank Oz Jerry Nelson Richard Hunt...

    The RHLC!

    I agree; on all of the Muppet and Fraggle sets, the behind-the-scenes footage is always a lot of fun. It shows that the Muppet performers could be just as crazy and goofy as the characters they played.

    The RHLC!

    Hi, Fletchy, welcome to the RHLC - if you're a Richard Hunt fan, this is the place to be. My name is Erin, and Scooter is my favorite Muppet as well. ;) Cool blog - and you're right, that one story you mentioned is a really poignant one - and kind of sad, too. There, you've got the others...

    MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

    Nora: (brewing hot chocolate) Hey, guys, have you looked out the window lately? Scooter: (hunting for marshmallows and candy canes, to put in hot chocolate) Yeah - first snowfall of the season, isn't it great? It's been like that since lunchtime. Storyteller: The timing is excellent, with the...

    How's the weather where you are?

    It's been snowing here for the better part of the day - first snowfall of the season here. It's sticking to roofs and cars but the streets are still clear.

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, the wrap party footage is one of my favorites, too. It must have been really fun to be there - after all, if there's more than one Muppet person in the room, all chances of a quiet evening go straight out the window. When he's up on the stage, Richard's in emcee mode - at all other...

    The RHLC!

    Very true - he knew he was ill by that time, and he'd told the others about it, but when he's up at the podium, for the most part he's really serene and composed. And to listen to his voice...he really sounds like someone you'd want to sit down with, and have a cup of coffee and a heart-to-heart...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah - I commented a while back that it was appropriate that David has taken on the role of Scooter, seeing as Richard and David were best friends, performing partners and hiking buddies. On a more somber note, today is World AIDS Day. Here's to you, Richard, you and everyone else who battled...

    The RHLC!

    I wouldn't think that would happen in any of the districts around here - the admins are probably too busy worrying about state aid and tests and accountability and all that stuff. Have you guys seen the Muppets' "Bohemian Rhapsody" video that's making the rounds on the Net? It's an absolute...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I just saw that - that, my friends, was wicked awesome. I mean - it had me from the moment Gonzo and the chickens came up. The fish-throwing, the explosions, the crazy penguins, the heckling...this had all the classic elements of a good Muppet production. And I too loved Kermit and Scooter's...

    The RHLC!

    Kind of quiet around here - it being late Wednesday night by my time, I'll pop in and wish everyone in the RHLC a happy Thanksgiving.

    MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

    Storyteller: What's all this talk about dragons? Do we have a den of dragons located in the dorms somewhere? Erin: Don't know...maybe someone's having a discussion about the Harry Potter books - after all, book 4 did have the challenge with the four dragons. Scooter: Or maybe there's a...
