What's interesting is that the AM's based on the design of Fat Blue and Thin yellow have been both rod-arm Muppets and later live-hand Muppets. (Grand High-Triangle Lover and Monty, respectively.) And come to think of it, the lavendar live-hand muppet used as the "base" for Mumford and the Count...

I tend to like Britcoms. Among them are shows that involve Adrian Edmonson and Rik Mayall. Shows like: -The Young Ones -Filthy, Rich and Catflap * -Bottom -Comic Strip Presents * * (the few I've seen I liked) There are many other Britcoms I like, but I've been tuning in again more...

Are we counting Muppet insert sketches? Then technically, the biggest monster would be (tra-la!) Splurge. Even though it was a cameo appearance. I only know of one sketch he appeared in, where he scared Kermit away. I don't think there were others, but I could be wrong.

Not much help, but kinda interesting: Daws Butler was also the voice of both Ralph Crumden and Ned Morton in the Warner Brothers cartoon "The Honeymousers". He also did Ed Norton impersonations in other cartoons. Va-va-va-voom! If only we could track down what animation company did that...

Maybe this will help give you an idea of what he looked like. http://www.henson.com/fun/fcreature/beautiful_fcreature.html

I don't know why, but I like it.

Heh heh, unless I miss my guess that was Gary Owens. You know, voice of Roger Ramjet and Laugh-In announcer. As much as I like that cartoon, I like the Spanish version of it with "H" for "Hola". I've often liked the Spanish version of other letter cartoons, anyway.

Are you referring to Kermit showing Beautiful Day Monster a step-by-step process about the sound of the letter "B"? That bit involved deep breathing in and out. That scared me too. In fact, any skit where people (or monsters) spoke in loud echoes I found scary at the time.

They also did something similar where Ernie shows Bert a frog who can count up to 100 by 10's. Also, there was a bit where Marty (using an Austin Powers voice) instructed the viewers to count to 16 by 2's.

That is Richard Hunt. So is the girl Anything Muppet next to him. Interestingly enough, when Jim is doing Guy Smiley singing, he sings in a voice like Link Hogthrob. In one skit he changed from his speaking voice to his singing voice. That's why I think Richard did a good job of...

I think Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson play so well off of each other, especially in the Grover/Fat Blue scenes.

I didn't even know ALF was planning his own talk show. But in the past few years, ALF has come back with a vengeance so the idea of him having a talk show isn't too far-fetched.

:halo: Pol-i-tics! Pol-i-tics! :cool: Lose the halo, man.

If I'm right, that was no psychiatrist, but something similar to Dr. Frankenstein and the hunchback was his creation. Hence the sadistic dungeon. :)

I just thought of another, Sherlock Hemlock. :)

Awww.... that's cute. :)

It's been about a week since her passing, but since I didn't see it listed elsewhere yet I thought I'd post a note about Celia Cruz, the queen of Salsa. She crossed paths with the Muppets when she sang songs on Sesame Street and she seemed to naturally enjoy working with them. I remember her...

Now, that's interesting, because in 1969 the only Muppeteers were Jim Henson, Frank Oz as Caroll Spinney. There might have been others doing right hands and the such, but both Fran Brill and Jerry Nelson didn't come on until 1970. (That was indicated in the "Unpaved" book and in interviews.)...

Oh, I thought the cool nerd thing was done on purpose. In any case I'd be more inclined to think that it was reason #4 and that Kingston, like the other "Around the Corner" Muppets, was phased out in order to focus on the core characters.

Seek and ye shall find. Thanks!
