Where can I find a picture of Noel MacNeal, either online or in a book? I have a pretty good idea of what he looks like, but I'd like to be sure.

I'm pretty sure that Gary Owens (Roger Ramjet, "Laugh-in" announcer) did voiceovers for numerous cartoon. I believe he was the narrator for the "H-for-Hello" cartoon - the poor soul who falls for the "Hello, is Herald there?" bit. That doesn't answer the Daws Butler question. But it isn't...

Just the same, it looks like Frank (or David R.) tends to take things out of Cookie Monster's mouth very quickly after "eating" them and drop them below camera. It's hard to describe, but it looks like he (they) manage(s) to cover it up very well with his big furry paws. Hopefully Secret...

I'm pretty sure the puppet, consisting really of the eyes and mouth of Spooble were "matted" in. So in real life Kermit was just talking to a jar of liquid. The puppet itself looks like a talking sheet but I won't swear that it was really that.

On TMS with Juliet Prowse, Kermit addressed that same question. He was drinking through a straw and stopped and said to the viewing audience, "Uh, think about this friends." I have a feeling the drink trickles downward through a hole on the table.

That I also knew. And it may be that the English word "Gonzo" was all that was intended. But it sure sounds funny that the Spanish word for goose sounds like "gonzo", well almost. I'm inclined to believe the writers wasn't thinking of the spanish word for "goose" when they assigned a name to...

You know, the Spanish word for "goose" is "ganso". And the way "ganso" is pronounced is almost a homonym for "Gonzo". (Just pronounce the "z" like "s" and you get "ganso." ) I wonder if this is just a cool coincidence, or maybe whether Gonzo was meant to be part goose? :concern: This is...

I kinda have a soft spot for the letter A cartoon in which things are piled on the side of a large "A", one of them being an "Ashcan" (???) until they become an "Avalanche". The poor narrator gets taken away in an "Ambulance".

I like Robin Williams' thought of the day: "Try walking around with a banana in your shoe and you'll know what a day is." :)

It may not be an official title, but it's a title I refer to affectionately.

Then there's his appearance with Garth Brooks, too.

A bit belated but, Happy Birthday Jerry. You have a great ability to make characters that I felt I could live through in my childhood, even if they were Anything Muppets used in only one sketch. For example, when you played little boy characters like Farley or Marty singing "Has Anybody Seen...

I think that Telly was Brian Muehl. Is he listed in the credits?

I'm sure one reason is that there are people that will pay those ridiculous prices for them.

The Amazing Mumford is still around. In fact, he's in one of the Letter of the Day segments with Cookie Monster. Don Music and Guy Smiley, well, were mostly likely retired after the deaths of Richard Hunt and Jim Henson. I don't know about the other two.... by Dr. Brice, I presume you mean Dr...

Out of interest, how legal is it for someone outside the Muppets, even a fan, to sell a replica they made on eBay?

I like the record version of that song, but even better I like the TV version where the only prop was Old Western doors. I like hearing Frank Oz's comment about Joe Raposo writing that song, how Joe didn't have to do anything clever to show off.

I don't know if they lost the rights to the songs or whether it was more a question of (paraphrasing)"Hey, hang on a minute. Why pay someone else to use their songs when we could write our own songs and people could buy to hear on record, CD, etc?"

They may have tried to revive the bit, even with the passing of Jim Henson, because Grover came to the house of Fat Blue with a variety of wigs. He forces one wig onto another on Fat Blue's head, but he just wants to be left alone. But then FB finds one he does like and sticks it on his head...

My pleasure. :) They also were guests on the Muppet Show, too.
