True, I'll never forget the sketch with the fish Lyle and Tabbot and Bert's famous line: I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS!!! Definitely sounded like Frank ad-libbing there. :)

I can't help but wonder maybe that could be why they've been delaying the TOTW, they could be reconsidering having Matt play Kermit. Again, Kermit has played off of a lot of Jerry's characters who Matt had recently inherited, so they'd have to do more than recast Robin. They'll have to either...

Yeah. I didn't catch that until now, but he did inherit :sympathy: and :D from :jim:. It will be interesting to listen when I get a chance and hear his thoughts on that matter and how taking over other characters are different from performing his own character: :rolleyes:.

Well, I guess because Steve's Kermit improved over time, they wanted to rerecord the voice so he sounded more like Kermit. I guess they just weren't all that successful with that attempt. Also, thanks Mo, for that video you posted, but I think that's still the 'deeper voice' one that I saw...

I listened to one on YT with the deeper voice. I always thought that one was the original. I'd like to find a copy of the other one for comparison, but I haven't had much luck.

There is? I never knew that.

I know what you mean. A lot of his characters seem to sound the same, like Baby Bear without the speech impediment. Although he is pretty much spot on with Cookie Monster, so maybe he could do a good :) voice if he had to. Who knows?

Yeah. I see your point, but there are characters that sound so similar it does make sense to have them have the same performer: (Ex: :(:o, :D:sympathy:, :laugh:Baby Sinclair.) Yeah, it's like Steve said himself, Matt has his hands full with his characters having recently took over Jerry's...

I know what you mean. I really enjoy the songs by Steve as :) in that one. "Pictures In My Head" is especially useful when I think of people I'm never going to see again. Now that song has a whole new meaning.

Yeah. I know what you mean. That's what made me mad about the "Da** Reputation" song in "A Tale of Two Piggies." Sure that show was meant for adults, but children who are fans of the Muppets could have been watching and heard that as well. Yet, "Hard to be Humble," in the Mac Davis episode...

Well, that's just it. That's more or less Kermit doing Jimmy Stewart's George Bailey character, rather than Kermit being completely himself wishing he'd never been born. We really can't blame Steve for that one.

Yeah. They would've gotten away with it if it weren't for that meddling Steve! :)

Or the Muppets singing about the word 'da**' quite a few episodes later. GRRRRRRR!! But you're right, Piggy did seem to be more laid back on that series, but then again she was a complete jerk when she appeared on Good Luck Charlie. The trouble is they need to find some balance between making...

I guess that would be a good idea. After all, Winnie-the-Pooh and Christmas Too was always given a TV-Y rating when it aired on ABC, and being a prime-time Christmas special, I thought that would have been worthy of a G-rating. I definitely could see the same with the new MB series.

Yeah. That's true. The Muppets, at least the more larger known Muppets had relatively small parts in that, but it's understandable since it was the first Jim's and Richard's characters were recast, so I guess the new puppeteers were sort of getting used to the role. It seemed like the Muppets...

One thing I've always noticed was that Steve's Kermit voice always seemed to be pretty hoarse when he was in live appearances on talk shows, but he sounded much better in material that was taped, presumably because Steve has had more time to rehearse.

That would have been nice, but I think SW owns the character so that may have gotten kind of costly for him to use the 'Barkley' suit.

Sorry for the short notice, I didn't know about this before, but I'm watching Steve's new show, what's it called, "Forever Young" and the second (or third) Barkley actor Fred Garbo is on the show now. If anyone gets a chance, you might want to try to catch the show on the NBC website.

Sorry. I'm a bit late. With the news of Steve's departure, I missed the news on this. Anyway, happy birthday, Dave. Thanks for giving life to all these characters: :concern::confused::sleep::cool:

Yeah. That's very possible.
