Great concept for the season 53 premiere. It was nice to see all the main characters in the street story, even if some (ex: Snuffy) just appeared in the mural. Definitely tells us they're still around.

That's interesting info. I usually use gift cards to pay for Hulu, but I wonder if I could get something like that to pay for Max. Something to think about. Would a Visa Gift Card work for a Max subscription? Sorry for getting off subject, but it would be great if I could watch that special and...

(As Sammo) Why were we not informed earlier? Not sure how many Muppet fans will get that reference, but anyway I may have tried to catch that on TV if I had known.

Yeah, I've noticed that specifically in MFS. I actually thought Frank did a fair job with Piggy with "Love Led Us" here in MTI, but I see what you're saying. Frank did seem to lose something with his performances in later years, especially considering he just sort of "dubbed" the voices later...

Forgetful Jones I guess. Though I often envy his better-than-mine memory. Janice might be a close second.

Probably Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster.

Yeah, her and Ruth Buzzi I get concerned about because they're still kicking but not in the best health. I was thinking it would have been nice if she Buffy could return to the show for a reunion or whatever, especially considering her time on the show was mainly before I was born, but now it...

Well, Pete's been Ernie for a few years now, so I don't think Steve's dismissal would have much do with that. About the gay people issue, I don't know since they have Frank and Dave now, but Sesame Workshop has always described Bert and Ernie as 'just friends.' I do wonder about Snuffy though I...

Oh, Telly and Louie are the same puppet? I never knew that. But yeah, seems like Telly is only seen in new material if the street story is a repeat invovling him. Considering how often he used to say 'what if,' it's interesting that he never really did an "I wonder. What if. Let's try."

Probably Gonzo. I mean Dave's other characters are great and all, but none of the others quite seemed to match in popularity and legacy with the Great Gonzo.

Okay, I apologize for that. I'm happy that Julie is still with us as well as Brooke Sheilds and quite a few other TMS guests. So on a side note, I saw that today would have been Tony Bennett's birthday. Happy birthday in Heaven, Mr. Bennett.

Yeah, but for how long? I hear she's lost her singing voice years ago and I do wonder about her healthwise. After all, her "Sound of Music" co-star Christopher Plummer passed recently, so you never know.

Really good, except Marty was Snuffy in seasons 13 and 14. Just thought I'd make that minor correction, but really good ideas.

Oh, right, Leonard Nimoy. (As Forgetful Jones) I forgot. Uh, hee. (Sorry for triple posting. I can't edit very well on my phone. I'll have to fix that later.)

And of course he did the legendary "Slimey to the Moon" with Big Bird.

ALL: Season 2 guest star Prince was the first to pass away.

So I just got the news that Tony Bennet died. I know he appeared on "Muppets Tonight!" rather than TMS, but I think he deserves an honorable mention here as well. He really did a great duet with Kermit on "Firefly."

That would be cool. Maybe he could play Boris Badenov in a sketch. 😀

So I saw on Muppet Wiki that Bert called him "Snuff" in a season 5 episode, contradicting an episode from the 80s where Bert thought Snuffy was imaginary too, but that could have been one of the earliest instances where he went by Snuff or Snuffy.

Okay, I have a quick question after seeing some 70s episodes online. I noticed Big Bird used to commonly call Snuffy "Mr. Snufflupagus," so I'm curious as to when he started going by 'Snuffy.' I know it was by the time of the Hawaii story arc which was sometime in the 70s. Also, when was it...
