    Video: Kermit (Matt Vogel) and Fozzie (Eric Jacobson) in Muppet Thought of the Week

    Well again we are seeing everything Steve has said in his blog come true with Kermit. I could care less if Matt sounded exactly like Steve or Jim for that matter. Because the voice is just such a small factor. It's like how everyone has been getting upset when the media calls Matt or Steve a...

    Video: Kermit (Matt Vogel) and Fozzie (Eric Jacobson) in Muppet Thought of the Week

    This bears repeating, but it's not just the voice! the voice is a very small part of it, It's the personality, and mannerisms that's the issue here. He is just not the same Kermit, and that has nothing to do with Matt's prefromance, but anyone other then Jim or Steve is going to be different...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Well its all about timing. I honestly believe that for the Muppets to move forward they HAVE to prefom very well at the Hollywood bowl. From what I understand tickets are still available, which means its not a sold out show. I just hope that dose not affect sells of merch and other things as...

    Actually my friend Link has apparently already been recast. He is set to apper in a new Pigs in Space bit at the Hollywood bowl. Along with Beaker in a new Muppet Labs bit as well.

    Rizzo is Steve's original character. It's going to take a lot of time before he is recast. Me personally I don't think he should be recast unless Steve OK's it. Which I'm almost sure he won't.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Why? I'm not saying that Matt is not a great preformer. He has done awesome with Uncle Deadly, Floyd and all of Jerry's characters. Steve and Jerry both took Matt to Disney and said that they wanted him to start doing Jerry's characters. So that they could be permanently recast and not bounced...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    You say Steve needed to be replaced!!! Bull! Steve even said himself he felt he was in the prime of his career! He was no where near ready to retire, and should not have been replaced.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    *sigh* I'm sorry and maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but I feel the need to make a stand. Something Steve said was so simple yet at the same time so complex. You have to have a Puppet and a performer they go hand in hand. You can not pass a grounded character like kermit around and expect them...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I don't know... i don't see and hear what your saying. For starters he dose not really sound closer to Jim's Kermit. At least to my ears anyways, and Ive watched both videos countless times. Secondly, how can you base that Kermit seems"happier" in these two videos? Steve has said countless...

    Peter is really steping up at Sesame! Taking on Ernie and now offically Harry. It's great because These are two fan favorites that have been needing a huge comback!

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    How can you honestly come up with that with something so short? 1. We have not heard him sing. 2. We have not seen how he interacts with the other Muppets. For Kermit these two points are huge, because that's who Kermit is. You can not base Matt's performance on these two videos. At best...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    It's ok not to like Kermit's new voice and actions. It dose not mean your a terrible Muppet fan. It also dose not mean your aginst Matt for not thinking to fondly of what he is doing with Kermit. The two videos we have seen so far have been very short, and we really do not have a lot to truly...
