Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Yes, I think I remember that episode. Also, I believe Jim voiced Monty's Dad as well.
I have noticed that Monty's voice had changed in the later episodes, even before I studied voice artists. Peter's Monty has a high sounding voice while Jim's Monty has a deeper sounding voice, the same voice...
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:
After reading the last post about favorite Rescue Rangers, I decided to make Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers my next V/A focus. They mainly used the same 4 voice artists with occasional guest voices, but they were all very talented.
COREY BURTON: Dale, Zipper, Mole...
My favorite ranger is Zipper. The way he works hard and tries his best for his friends.
I also like the Fat Cat episodes. Especially his hench-animals who have those funny voices.
I can't remember if Paul did any foreign voices in Puppet Up. In fact, I didn't know it was Paul at first until they mentioned the names of the Muppeteers at the end of the show. I was surprised to see the name, Paul Rugg.
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:
This week I'm focusing on Paul Rugg. You may have seen him as a puppeteer in the Jim Henson special, Puppet Up. Before that, Paul was a cartoon writer and one of the funniest voice artists I've ever heard. He can do Jerry Lewis's voice really great.
AMERICAN...
I heard it was because they wanted more educational cartoons on TV and all that the Killer Tomatoes cartoon taught us were vegetables.
It would've been nice if the Killer Tomatoes lasted 65 episodes instead of 21, but I am trying to bring back the series in fanfics though.
There was also an episode where Seth Green played a delivery man who was bringing Telly his letters of month all at once. The letters were crowding Hooper's store so much that the Honkers had to celebrate Baby Honker's birthday outside.
I remember that Pinky and the Brain episode. That hat person had a Hans Conried sounding voice. Corey Burton can always do a great Hans Conried impersonation.
Very nice V/A focus, Dr. Tooth. Yes, there were quite a talented bunch of voice artists in Jay Ward's series, with Bill Scott doing the main stars of the cartoons. And I heard that Frank Welker did some voicework in thoseRocky and Bullwinkle Taco Bell commericals from the 90's.
I loved it when Gonzo was eating a tire to music and how he sang the song, Jamboree, and in Muppets From Space when he found his true family and did the audio commentary.
I just recently found this neat clip on youtube. It's Chip and Dale without their voices speeded up. You can actually hear the real voices of Tress MacNeille and Corey Burton singing.

I heard that Corey did some voicework for Bullwinkle in early commercials and theme park attractions, but in the live action Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, Keith Scott ended up voicing Bullwinkle as well as the Narrator.
In Filmation's final series, Bravestarr. There was a villian named Skuzz who's always seen smoking a cigar and coughing a lot and it drove everyone crazy. His fellow villians keep telling him it's stupid to smoke.
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:
After Dr. Tooth gave me some insight about Corey Burton from last week's V/A focus, I decided to make Corey this week's focus. Yes, Corey had been known to take over the late Bill Scott's characters like Bullwinkle, Gruffi Gummi, and Toadie. Corey is also popular...
Happy birthday, Jerry Nelson.
Thank you for all your talents you've shared with us through Sesame Street, Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Secret Life of Toys, and all the Muppet specials you've done. :)
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:
This week, I'm focusing on the cartoon, Adventures of the Gummi Bears. Disney's other first attempt to create Saturday morning cartoons besides the Wuzzles. But Gummi Bears lasted six years and the final season aired on the weekday Disney Afternoon block. Gummi...
