    I didn't speak with anyone from Sababa. I just kind of snuck a peak. I have no idea when stuff is coming out. Also as I think about it, it may not have been "Marooned". I'm thinking it was "Boober's Quiet Day". For soem reason that sticks out in my head as a tite although I thikn...

    Favorite Jerry Nelson character

    Well, Floyd is one of my all-time favorite characters so I'd say he probably tops my list of favorite Jerry Nelson characters. However, Lew Zealand and Count Von Count are also high on my list of favorites. Jerry himself is my favorite of the Henson puppeteers. He is an incredible talent...

    Muppets' Wizard of Oz cast list
