    Follow That Bird Discussion Thread

    Caroll Spinney would have probably been needed to be on the show, yet he performed for most of the movie. Also, a lot of Sesame Street puppets were used, meaning that they weren't at the set for the series (unless they rebuilt all puppets). Then again, if the schedule did have anything to do...

    let's guess whe performed characters who had their voice dubbed

    There have been many scenes where multiple characters performed by the same person spoke in the same take, causing the regular performers to dub at east one voice and have it edited in later. Let's guess who was performing certain characters in these scenes. The Muppet Movie: In the...

    Doesn't it seem like Richard Hunt was underused?

    In a way it seems like Richard Hunt and Jerry nelson were kidn of the opposites regarding The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. On The Muppet Show, Richard Hunt had an A-list character, Scooter, while Jerry Nelson didn't really have any A-list characters (I think Floyd would be a very high B-list...

    Ideas for Muppet books thread

    I thought I'd start a thread about our ideas for Muppet books. What are your ideas? Here are some of mine: 1. Notes from Jim Henson. This book would include notes that Jim Henson wrote about his various productions. I've read that Jim henson kept detailed notes on everything he worked...

    filming locations of Henson shows

    If this wasn't made in england, then I wonder why this show had extra scenes not shown in the american version.

    Sketches and Songs on Sesame Street videos

    Most Sesame Street DVDs have a feature where you can watch clips from other Sesame Street DVDs, and for the sample on Fiesta Songs, there is a clip from a song called Fiesta, which featured Betty Lou (along with Elmo, Rosita, Baby bear, Zoe, and Telly). It's probably an insert, but I haven't...

    Why didn't more Sam & Friends characters return?

    Kermit was the only character on Sam & Friends to be used regularly after the show ended. Some characters were used in occassional television appearances, but besides that, Kermit was the only one consistently used. Kermit was the only character from that show to be in Tales of The Tinkerdee, he...

    Richard Hunt's Characters

    Scooter was performed by Rickey Boyd, and Janice was performed by Tyler Bunch. I think Brian Henson was originally going to dub their voices later (He dubbed Sal's voice), but I read that the crew thought that Rickey Boyds Scooter was dead-on so I guess Brian Henson decided not to dub the...

    Song question.

    I'd like to add another possibility: Maybe Jim Henson decided to include a season 3 song in The Muppet Show 2 as a sort of sneak peek for the upcoming season.

    Song question.

    I think it is in the Cheryl Ladd episode, but I don't know for sure. It is from a season 3 episode even though it was included in The Muppet Show 2 album, which was made after the secodn season. Maybe it was recorded for the second season but delyaed untill the third season (either with audio...

    monitor images on The Jim Henson Hour

    Yeah, it is weird that they just filmed a few seconds of Muppets doing random things just for the monitors. I've seen pictures from the Monster Telethon episode that showed a shot of Luncheon Counter Monster that was part of the telethon. Obviously, any images that had characters (Jim Henson...
