Ryan. You'll see more Rowlf when you see more of everybody. It's hard squeezing all the characters into every little production. Everyone at Henson has their favorites, don't worry. secret squirrel

"hope jerry comes back to do some more of floyd..." So does he. secret squirrel

"Did Frank train Eric to do Fozzie and Piggy?" Wiggy: Eric is completely self-taught. Frank's time is very limited, and if he had the time to train someone else, he'd likely use that time to tape his own performances. Eric has discussed the characters with Frank a couple of times, but the...

Jerry is OK and still performing. There's a discussion over in the "Henson Performers" area where I talk about it in a little more detail, but Jerry is still very much an active performer and performs in person whenever he can, including on the new season of Sesame Street. Voice-overs as...

Scott: A lot of different factors play a part in who performs in what. Frank's directing career was a major part of his first steps away from the Muppets, and this was happening when Fraggle Rock began. As for Sesame Street, location and availability were just two of the big deciding factors in...

Anonyfrog. He must be the green guy in the trench coat and dark glasses. secret squirrel

There's a number of excellent reasons why Matt plays Big Bird in JTE, none of them to do with Caroll's opinion about the segment. Eric's Bert, along with Grover, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and others, continues to improve by leaps and bounds. He's very close and getting closer. You guys will love...

Your enthusiasm is great, and folks at Henson are aware of fans' desire to see more of their favorite characters. So a petition won't do much to change the facts, which are: whatever characters they can squeeze into each new project, they do. (The Snoop Dogg scene did include some nice Electric...

Perhaps you are forgetting the supermarket, with Fran Brill as the PA announcer. But yes, new locations have been created. Matt Vogel was also much more comfortable with the segments. I think you'll agree that JTE is much improved this year.

"Tough Pigs *does* have an official performer list for VMC..." Scott/Scarecroe: Thanks for posting that link. I don't know where that casting info came from, but it's 100% accurate. secret squirrel

"maybe Jerry had a cold or something?" Jerry is older now. He has had some health problems, but he's a remarkable man and an astounding performer. "also, why did he NOT play Lew Zealand?" Have you ever tried to record dialogue to match someone else's lip-synch? It's a pain in the neck...

Scott is correct. Journey To Ernie will continue to lead into a Bert and Ernie sketch. Eric and Steve have recorded a number of new bits to add to the mix. I should have clarified. The inserts being cut are the non-Muppet inserts shown when Big Bird chooses an incorrect box. secret squirrel

Jerry voiced all his characters except Lew Zealand. Lew was played by Bill Barretta. secret squirrel

Audrey II Marty Robinson is currently working on designs for an all-new Audrey II for the Broadway debut of Little Shop Of Horrors later this year. This plant is going to break new ground. secret squirrel

season 34 Hays: Only 26 new episodes were taped this year. This might mean more frustration for you, or maybe PBS will mix up older episodes with the shorter run. This remains to be seen. Phil: Sesame finished taping season 34 in mid-December. A new block of Elmo's World segments commences...

As I said before, Kevin had a particular affinity with Sam, which may be why he looped Sam's lines rather than Eric Jacobson or John Kennedy. secret squirrel

In the 33rd season, on air in 2002, Hero Guy alternated with Monster Clubhouse. I could be wrong, but I believe in season 34, Hero Guy returns, but Clubhouse does not. Also watch for a new segment, Global Grover, in which Grover introduces live-action clips from international co-productions...

Journey To Ernie has been revamped for the 34th season. Each segment takes place in only one world and there is an increased focus on problem-solving and logic skills. Matt Vogel continues to play Big Bird, Joey Mazzarino and David Rudman play the Two-Headed Monster, and each Journey will...

Kevin was not on set for the Christmas movie. He was in New York working on Sesame Street. Eric Jacobson performed Piggy and Fozzie, both voice and puppetry. I don't know who puppeteered Sam, but Kevin recorded the voice. secret squirrel

Additional to his CD-ROM work, Craig Shemin wrote for "The Wubbulous World Of Dr Seuss," "Jim Henson's Dog City," "Donna's Day," and was instrumental in "Telling Tales With Tomie DePaola," which was axed before it reached its potential. He co-wrote "The Muppet Show Live" with Jim Lewis, and...
