Exactly. Everyone has different opinions about these things and I understand that people may not always agree with me, but they don't have to be so nasty about it. Heck, I also had the same problem on the WB Message Boards when "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" was on that network. There was a...

Yeah. I know what you mean. I just finished watching MCC and like I said, I felt Steve's :) was spot on by that point, but the voice difference was definitely noticeable the first time Steve voiced Kermit in "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson." It was the same with Artie, the voice was off in...

Yeah. That's why it's best for my to voice my complaints here. Not only was Friday's not listening to my complaints about that offensive ad, but when I tried to address it on their corporate office message board, not only did the company not listen but there was a total jerk on that board who...

Really? Did they make that official statement then? I thought Artie was just sort of understudying for Steve. Then again Friz Freleng left Warner Bros. 1947 when the head of the studio Eddie Selzer wouldn't let him pair Sylvester and Tweety together, but Friz came back after Eddie said...

I thought of that too. But it doesn't make a lot of sense, because like I said before we had an unexpected 'alternate' Kermit performer back in '09. This time we know about it, so I don't know what's going on. They can't keep Matt's :) out of the spotlight forever. Hopefully we'll see it...

And I just noticed now someone is copying my signature quote. Lol.

Wachu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Yeah. I know what you mean. It's like that Taco Bell commercial with the cursing into it that I mentioned before on the other thread, "corporate big wigs," don't seem to listen to people's complaints or concerns. It's sad but what can you do?

Yeah. I agree. I was going to suggest closing the thread too. I think we're getting too much into it and we just need to realize what's done is done and we need to move on. Maybe we can start a separate thread once we hear Matt's :). Just my thoughts on this.

I have to agree there. That songs comes in very handy for mew when I'm reminded of people I'm never going to see again. *sigh*

Yeah. Seems like they are trying to avoid showing someone else as Kermit for the time being. Though it is strange when you think about it. Back in '09, Kermit was performed by someone else completely unexpectedly and Artie's Kermit made two or three appearances around that time. Now that we...

Yeah. I know what you mean. If anything, it's the opposite, I always felt that Steve's :) was a bit more mellow than Jim's, except as I mentioned before even Steve's had his share of outbursts too, especially in MTI and VMX. So I definitely agree it has more to do with the writing rather than...

Well, I thought Artie's performance was a bit weak on AGT, but he did seem to improve when he appeared on the MTV Music Awards or whatever that was about a week or so later. When that happened, it wasn't Artie's performance as :) that was the issue so much as the question was "Why was Kermit...

Well, they did seem to want to recast him before. Recall the incident on America's Got Talent. I mean, none of us know what really happened there. But with all this going on, I think I'm seeing more insight into that. I think recasting :) may have been on Disney's minds at that time and they...

Yeah. I see both sides of things, because I didn't know until reading recent articles that Steve was sort of being disrespectful with his peers, but that is the thing about performers. You know them as their character. Take Sasha Mitchell who's character on Step by Step Cody Lambert was...

Okay. I was a little confused there, because I knew Lyon was a puppeteer for Henson, but I guess that makes more sense, kind of like that "Family Guy" clip. "Now we've got wrong sounding Muppets."

I see. So you're saying Billy was sort of to be a temporary Ernie voice from the get-go. That makes more sense then.

Ahhh. The plot thickens. I always thought he voluntarily left SS to work exclusively for Henson/Disney. It's still beyond me though why they would recast Ernie after they just recast him recently. Makes me wonder if Steve's termination from SS/Muppets had something to do with it. I recall...

Thanks for that info, Mo. I asked about that before and no one answered, but I guess I can understand that with all that's been going on. I will check out that Bert and Ernie video when I get a chance. I'm surprised that they did recast Ernie after they already did recast him recently. Poor...

Wow! You mean Cheryl sided with Disney on recasting :)? That's a big disappointment. Also, I thought I'd ask, has the "Thought of the Week" with Matt's :) been posted yet? I've been looking and I couldn't find it. I thought it would be up by now.
