This is so sad. He's the first major performer to have died after I knew that the Muppets were puppets (I'm not counting Eren Ozker, who was only a major performer for one year, or Jerry Juhl, who hadn't been a performer since the 1960s). I expect the next Sesame Street season premiere to be...

In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he talks about doing a series of concerts based around Big Bird conducting. In fact he devotes an entire chapter to them. And recently Copper Pot Pictures has uploaded a couple of clips from what I assume is an Austrailian TV broadcast (I wasn't aware one was...

Though I presume all those characters would only sing together and none of them would really get their own solo lines.

Jim, Frank, Dave, and Jerry.

Chapter 6 Biff was back in the studio, hosting another show. “You’re listening to Johnny B, the disc jockey formerly known as Biff. And now we’ll take another call!” “Hello, Johnny, can you play a song by poison?” “Oh, you don’t want poison”, said Biff, “Poison is very dangerous...

Chapter 5 “It will be hard to adjust to working alone”, said the executive, “but we’ll make it work.” “Now that you don’t have to pay for two DJs can I have a raise?”, asked Biff. “No”, said the executive, coldly, “but something’s got to be done about your name.” “What’s wrong with my...

Chapter 4 Biff and Sully were out at the live event. “Wow, look at all those people cheering for us”, said Biff, “it looks like a lot!” Sully nodded. “Well, let’s go to our podium and start the show”, said Biff. They started. “Welcome to Biff and Sully’s Radio Show LIVE!”, said Biff...

I was watching some of Richard Hunt's performances as Captain Vegetable last night, and noticed that Richard's version has both regular Muppet ears AND bunny ears. Two sets of ears??? I thought those kinds of ears on Anything Muppets were removable (the season two sketch "I Wanna Hold Your Ear"...

Chapter 3 Over the first week, Biff and Sully were a worldwide success. “Hello, you’re on the air”, said Biff. The caller was the Two-Headed Monster, who argued over what song to play, “Eensy Weensy Spider” or “Old MacDonald”. “Hold it!”, said Biff, “I’ll play both!” “YAY!”...

You know, years ago, around the time that Frank Oz's characters were given understudies (who have pretty much become recasts by this point, even if Jacobson and Rudman still consider them Oz's characters), I'd read that they did a few segments where Jacobson performed Cookie Monster, and I...

I don't know whether he's still popular or still on the air, but he is/was a radio DJ, who also had a TV show on the E! network (not sure if it was video recordings of what happened during the radio broadcasts or if they were completely seperate), whose humor was very vulgar. He also starred in...

Chapter 2 Biff and Sully were in the radio booth, ready for their first show. “Okay, you two will be on in thirty seconds”, said the director. “Oh, this is so much fun!”, said Biff. Sully was about to speak.. “Aren’t you excited?”, interrupted Biff. Sully nodded his head. “Okay”...

Enjoy this new fan fic. Chapter 1 Biff and Sully were at work one day, doing their usual job. “Alright, Sully”, said Biff, “let’s get to work!” Biff started his jackhammer, but it went out of control. “SULLYYYYY!!! HEEELLLPPPPP!” Biff ended up crashing into a lamppost. “Oh...

Today the Mindset posted my article, Top Ten Richard Hunt Characters: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2012/08/ten-favorite-richard-hunt-characters.html After looking at this, there's something I regret not doing. For the Forgetful Jones, entry, I jokingly remarked that I forget who he...

I celebrated Richard Hunt's birthday by making a list of my top ten favorite Richard Hunt characters at The Muppet Mindset: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2012/08/ten-favorite-richard-hunt-characters.html I also read all of the Weekly Muppet Wednesday articles on Richard Hunt's...

Muppet Wiki mentions that Eric Jacobson started performing Bert and Grover in 1996, but it's not cited, and I kind of doubt that info. Maybe he was learning to perform them at the time, or performing while Frank Oz did the voices, but I don't know for sure (out of all the main performers...

Well, the whole thing is great, even with a limited cast and no inserts from the show. The video includes parodies of Super Mario Bros., Angry Birds, Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band, Pac-Man, and World of Warcraft. It also includes a racing game sequence, which I'm not sure if it's based on...

I bought the "Elmo's Alphabet Challenge" DVD today. Watching it right now, and it's great so far. Elmo, Abby, and Telly kinda look like well-made toys in their computer animated form (maybe not Palisades-quality, but close). As far as I can tell, this release doesn't have any clips from the...

And now for some info on the planning for this story! A few years ago, at least as far back as 2009, I had a desire to do a story where Hooper's Store was affected by the economy. In fact I also wanted to do a story where the Muppet Theater was affected by the economy as well (I can't...

Chapter 8 Everybody was in the lobby. “I can’t believe we were off by a penny!”, said Big Bird. “I can’t believe it either”, said Snuffy. “We were so close”, moaned Hoots. They were about to go out the door, but then Alan turned around, addressing the whole crowd of characters...
