Great show tonight, Steve! It was really cool to hear all those insights into the world of the Muppets, and puppetry in general, from Steve himself. And you guys are right - there's going to have to be a part 2.

I wonder if you can get E-Z Pass for the machine instead? It's certainly useful around here with all the toll roads we've got...

A time machine sounds cool - just watch out for the Morlocks. (Paging Mr. Wells...) Some of the press releases also like to say that Richard, "whose arm had never hoisted anything more exotic than a basketball..." had never done anything in puppetry before coming to the Muppets. But we all know...

Oh, yeah - something tells me that Richard wasn't above "inflating" a story if it made for more dramatic impact. I tried ignoring the bullies, or telling the teacher what was going on. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. It sounds like Richard had a pretty thick skin when he was in...

Hi, Ana - welcome to the RHLC! I'm kind of shy, too...and Richard really seemed to have a gift for coaxing people out of their shells. In all the articles I've read, it seems that whenever Richard was in the room, the mood goes way up. I know from Jessica Max Stein - in fact, she just did a...

That sounds really interesting - I'll see if I can get a hold of it one of these days. :sing:

That's okay, Nekoshema - most of us jumped in at the beginning, and we just introduced ourselves as we went along. Hi, Tim, nice to chat again - I remember that we talked via PM a little while back. As for your question...well, I guess the best rule on the forum is just to be as diplomatic and...

Storyteller: Now, I think it's quite noble of her. I mean, the efforts to eat healthy foods, to take excellent care of herself, to resist temptations... Beige: Oh, Storyteller, you're NOT helping. And you're really one to talk, after you devoured half that pan of radish bars while working on...

Hi, minor muppetz - and yes, you can post your question here. The answer, I think, is both. I think Richard started out with them on a part-time basis in 1970, when he and Fran Brill got selected from the Muppeteer's workshop, and Jim would call him in on a show-by-show basis or something. It...

You know, I actually saw a license plate a while back that said: EZBNGRN. :)

Last night, I dreamed that I saw the Muppet performers sitting around somewhere. I don't remember much else, other than that they were all wearing Kermit-green T-shirts.

Yeah, it's like seeing a warm apple pie cooling on the counter in the kitchen, and you can't have a slice until after dinner. I was trolling around Muppet Wiki earlier, and I found some photos of Richard that I don't think we've seen before. One is a shot of him and Lisa Waltz on the set of...

(The gang is listening in, drinking hot chocolate and playing - what else? - Go Fish.) Erin: Oh, the fish-slapping dance...I heard of a man who got a really nasty knock from an Alaska salmon. Scooter: Yeah...and give Lefty a few seconds and he'll be trying to cut down a tree with a herring...

I know - the opening is hopelessly dated by today's standards...then again, in television, things get dated really quickly. But I agree - of all the cast members, I think Richard delivers the most natural performance - 'cause that's who he is off-camera: a guy with a wicked sense of humor and...

Erin: (to Ed, as she's packing boxes) Sure, Ed, what can I do for you? Is it about the haunters? (to others) Hey, Simon Smith, keep it down over there. Scooter: (singing while packing up lamps) They'll love us... Beige: (likewise, but loading up dishes) Won't they? Scooter: They feed us...

Cool! How'd they get a hold of the clip? I thought the only place around here you could see it was at the Paley Center. Not that I mind having to go into the Paley Center - it's well worth the train fare, but the problem is finding the time to go. Go over to ToughPigs and check out the...

Too right - as a few people commented, Scooter was much more than the "15 seconds to curtain" gofer - he was also Kermit's right-hand man (Muppet). Well, gang, another Jan. 7 is upon us...and it's really hard to believe that it's been 18 years already. Rest in peace, Richard...you were only...

Well, I can quasi- understand where he's coming from on a few things. Pepe, I imagine, can get a little grating after a bit, and Bunsen didn't really come into his own until Beaker came along... But, come on. Scooter? Janice? Robin? You guys are right...whoever wrote that has way too much free...

Scooter: Hey, Erin, some box just came for you today. Erin: Is it from some address in upstate New York? Scooter: Seems to be. Erin: Okay, that's my book swap box. Can someone find me a knife? Storyteller: (humming ballad of Sir Blunderbrain) What's going on? Erin: (opening box) I signed up for...

Happy New Year, everyone, and let's hope 2010 goes more or less all right. For those of us here in the northern hemisphere, hope you're staying warm. It's wicked cold here - about 17 degrees.
