    The Muppets 70

    Your way of bringing up the pair being showcased is not without wit. I wonder what those senior spectators think. W: Imagine that! We’re part of the Muppets’ 70th anniversary campaign. S: Well, better now than later. W: Why’s that? S: If they did the campaign for the 75th anniversary, it...

    The Muppets 70

    That marks four times somebody from my ‘Maybe’ list got featured (five, if you count the penguins). Fancy that! So far, Howard is the fifth pig to be showcased.

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    I realize this particular discussion has been dormant for years, but I’d like to mention that it’s been one decade since the backstabbing “higher up bosses of bosses of bosses” decided to cancel WOY, one week before S2 premiered. As you may recall, I’d been finding ways to make the world aware...

    The Muppets 70

    It’s been years since I watched Muppets Now. The second I saw the screaming goat, I immediately thought of Muppets’ Haunted Mansion because of its pupils. Since the goat and the legal weasel have been featured, I’m much more certain the turkey (Beverly Plume) will also be featured.

    Once Upon a Studio - Walt Disney Animation’s celebration of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary

    This piece of news recently popped up - the short seemingly inspired a point of interest coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year: The Magic of Disney Animation! In the poster, you can see Mickey and Minnie in their outfits Mickey’s Birthday Party, also worn in the short.

    The Muppets 70

    A Bilbaretta (that’s how I shorten Bill Barretta) character who’s not as frequently performed as the others and his right-hand simian - another double this week! I believe this is the first time a Brian Henson character is featured even though he’s only second banana. Sometimes I wonder what’s...

    The Muppets 70

    I’d like to point out that Dave’s voice for Beauregard is based on the voice he used when he performed Wendell Porcupine in Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas. Whenever I watch that special and hear Wendell speaking, I always think of ol’ Bo.

    The Muppets 70

    That’s 4 Dave Goelz Muppets down, one of them being paired with a (formerly) Steve Whitmire Muppet.

    The Muppets 70

    Sometimes I wonder whose idea it was to make Sam look similar to his 1975 variant. Growing up, I grew accustomed to his trimmed brows and low head feathers.

    The Muppets 70

    I have been noticing that whenever there’s a video of Muppets talking about other Muppets, they’re performed by either Matt Vogel or Eric Jacobson. The broccoli in the video talking about the tomato sounded a little bit like Oscar the Grouch. How about that video of Sam commenting on (and...

    The Muppets 70

    Supposedly, the public has never seen an image of Angus playing the bagpipes… until now.

    The Muppets 70

    Angus McGonagle - he’s certainly a pleasantly surprising addition, or a surprisingly pleasant addition, whichever you prefer. If they ever reintroduce him, they’d have to decide who’d be able to perform him. We know Matt Vogel can do nearly all of Jerry Nelson’s characters, and since he can...

    The Muppets 70

    Penguins happened to be one of my anticipated guesses. If Nicky Napoleon can get recognition, maybe Waldo can, too. I didn’t realize he and his emperor penguin band started out in Little Muppet Monsters. The eyes looked different, though. It goes without saying that LMM is pushed so far into...

    The Muppets 70

    Doesn’t look like superstitious days matter beans to them. I did predict a Muppet with glasses and marigold skin, but it looks like they went with a character performed by Richard Hunt and David Rudman with those traits.

    The Muppets 70

    Now it’s Friday the 13th where I live. In just 11 hours, we shall see if my prediction for Week #43 comes true. C’mawwwn, Newsie!

    The Muppets 70

    Next week is Friday the 13th, so if there’s a character prone to misfortune, it would be the Newsman. Not only that, but it was said on the 2015 Muppets sitcom that he has a daughter, so he does double duty as a father figure for Father’s Day on the 15th. And about The Cat Came Back. Lately...

    The Muppets 70

    Nope, just a full-body Muppet who’s neither a dog nor a lion. I guess they didn’t want the attraction’s departure to be too obvious. Regardless, we still have 28 weeks to go!

    The Muppets 70

    Since MuppetVision 3D will be going away this weekend, I’m predicting Waldo will be showcased for Week #42.

    The Muppets 70

    Now that I got to see more of Andy and Randy more than I ever could in the past, there are two ways I can tell them apart: their heads (Andy has a slightly long snout) and their voices (Randy sounds a lot like Stinky the Skunk, performed by Dave Goelz, from the Animal Show).
