    OK. I've taken a look at the Palisades release schedule, the number of figures and playsets that they've put out, and the number of years that they've had the license. I concluded that if Palisades' license had been extended for another half year, and they'd been working like mad from the...

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    What we need is a return to "Muppet Treasure Island", using exactly the Muppets in that production and nothing else. MTI represented the best possible combination of everything: Jerry and Kirk (the best writers) wrote the script; Brian directed; Steve, Dave, Jerry, Frank and Kevin were the...

    The Music of Sesame Street

    I've always been a sucker for "X Marks the Spot" and "Sammy the Snake." "C Is For Cookie" is possibly the catchiest song ever, and "Rubber Duckie" is far overrated.

    Looks pretty good! If the eyes were pulled out of it, it would look like the sandwich in MFS....

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    I agree that Kermit is a tad mean now, but you've got to remember that Kermit is supposed to be passive-agressive. However, now he mainly just shouts everything out very quickly, which does not work.

    Pretty well. I'm surprised that Alice got FooFoo when Steve is still around! And I really want Lips back with the EM. He's way underappreciated.

    My Web Page

    Too complicated, sorry. And I have little money to buy a pagebuilder. I may switch to Geocities soon. It's a work in progress. I will get around to Muppet tributes, a photo scrapbook and more eventually. I'm in the middle of studying for exams now, so I can't do much for a week or two. After...

    Oops

    I once broke my arm when I fell backwards in a drama class. My friend Jeff cracked his head open on a stone.

    To Phillip: Could you make a slight change in mine, so that instead of thatannouncer I am That Announcer?

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    To those wondering about Noel Blanc, he voiced Bugs in a 1992 Tiny Toons TV movie, and Porky at the end of "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers."

    Five favorite songs?

    I love the Whatnot Rat playing the cymbals in that number.

    I can actually do the Camilla voice rather well. It is a "bawk bawk bawk", but to do Camilla, you have to get the tone right. And I can puppeteer pretty well- I have a store bought Ernie that I've rigged with arm rods. It's not hard.

    I'm Graduating!

    Nice, TPC. Have a fine summer. And just remember- keep an eye out for Henson merchandise.

    Compared to Jerry Nelson's Camilla, Ms. Dinnean-Vernon's is nothing. They are two totally different voices. And chicken noises CAN sound different.

    Out of curiosity, was she the Vogon at the Release Desk? "I'm sorry. For a presidential release, you need a BLUE form!"
