Well sometimes the contraints of the set might dictate that. I guess.

It may be worth noting that Dave Goelz was credited as 'Creative Consultant' for 'The Secret Life Of Toys. Kevin Clash may not have directed, but he's been 'Puppet Coordinator' many times. Of course Nigel Plaskitt is also known for his directing, and he has worked with The Muppets on...

Obviously when a puppet is operated by two or three people as opposed to just one, then it's likely that a second puppeteer will operate the character's right hand. Which I would guess is what might have happened in the original Bein' Green. Well it's one possibility. The other, as you rightly...

Just wondering, Which of the puppeteers on Sesame Street puppeteer left-handed. We know that on other muppet productions there's: Terry Angus, Richard Coombs, and, Mike Quinn On Sesame, so far all I've got is: Jerry Nelson breifly for about a year or two in the mid 1970s (due to...

I remember in about 1998 watching this skit, about Al who runs an Alphabet garage, getting letters ready for the road. A lady (female Anything Muppet) comes in with a J that won't jump. It will jog, jiggle and play jazz, but it won't jump. So Al gives it a "jump start". Which makes it jump all...

OK, So it seems I was wrong about a few points: Inside And Outside - I forgot that it's Monsterpiece Theatre, not Nestrapolitan Opera. Al's Alphabet Garage - the concensus among Muppet fans is that Louise Gold did not do the lady J owner, but who did? (The puppetry's a bit odd)...

Okay I got a challenge for you guys concerning Sesame Street in the early 1990s. Probably around Season's 22 to 27 or Episodes 2876 to 3525. Which songs and sketches did Louise Gold perform in. And can we identify which episodes those songs/sketches were originally aired in? So far I've...

Let's see if we can start a list: Carbon Paper (in the Leo Sayer ep) - Annie Sue Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend - Carol Burnett (Annie Sue is in the background) Doe Ray Mi - Annie Sue was among the bunch of muppets singing it. Hawaiin War Chant I'm A WOMAN - Raquel Walsh and Miss Piggy...

Hmmm, I'm not sure about doing new stuff. IMHO one of the reasons the Muppets were so successful is that the perfect combination of writers and performers came together at the right time. Although it's very nice to want to try, I'm not sure that magic could be re-created. If people want to...

I'd definitely go for sorting out the rights to issuing the DVDs, and/or showing reruns of TMS. I'd also focus on a bringing out a bunch of CD albums, of songs from TMS. - Obviously taken off the TMS soundtracks. Besides reissuing stuff that was already on the Muppet Show records, I'd look...

I beleive an amount of this was shown on CNN. I have put together a webpage about the memorial service, see: http://www.qsulis.demon.co.uk/Website_Louise_Gold/Jim_Hensons_Memorial_Service.htm - this includes links to other websites which may have further details. Hope that helps

It is on The Great Muppet Caper film soudntrack album. I think it is from when The Muppets go off to the baseball diamond fight. The lyrics include such lines as "Go Muppets roar down the field, our team will never fail. Go Muppets we'll never yield the field see how the foe turns pale...

I have two favourites which tie; and two numbers that tie for top place. My two alltime avourite Muppet vocalists in anycase are Louise Gold and Jerry Nelson, and Sesame Street has some totally brilliant examples of their work together, I think the best of these is 'I Can Sing Anything When I...

Crazy-Animal, In my experience of online Muppet fans (I've been on the Muppet fan forums since about 1996/7) quite a number of us are also keen on musicals. I know I certainly am. Though I must say I tend to be more into watching out for particular performers rather than particular shows...

Hello Marty, Thanks for that, and a happy new year to you too. I've been around on the MC msg board for several years, I just don't post as much as I used to. Emma

Well Louise can certainly scream it either way She's got a rather wide ranging voice. I think though while her Muppet pigs were generally upper register, her normal voice is lower pitched. - She's still good at screaming. - At least if her current West End performance is anything to go by...

I'm glad you put that stuff up, Mike, It's always nice to have some nice fun behindthescenes stuff like that. And about a series that doesn't seem to get that much of a mention in Muppetfandom. - Yet I think it's worthy of being better known. [~¦#%

Thanks Theprawncracker, that's just filled in the gap in my info. Emma

Well I don't know to what extent Annie resembles her Muppeteer. However, there is at least one scene on TMS where she almost certainly did. ... In the Leo Sayer episode, there is a scene in which she saves Fozzie's act. Afterwards she and Fozzie are comming off-stage and there is the following...

Yes Jim Henson's difficulty in finding qualified female performers may have been part of the problem. Yet if you look at how much Louise got used in Season's II and III (especially 3) to the limits of her capabilities at the time, it clearly could have been possible. I think the argument...
