if anybody is interested, I just started my own thread about how full-body characters are performed, including what I know and what I think. it is in the puppetry section.

I thought it would be good to make a listing of the various ways that full-body muppets have been performed. it is okay if you want to include full-body puppet characters from non-henson shows, but for the most part I will just focus on characters from henson shows. The Muppet Show...

I think that most of the muppets that were created for the jim henson hour are a bit different. They were very cool-looking. It's a shame they weren't used more since then.

There have been a small number of crossovers between the muppets and sesame street cast since then. Elmo appeared at muppetfest, the cast of both shows appeared in a music video called "We are family" (although I don't think that should count, since it featured characters from other kids shows...

We have seen possible disc art for the first season of the muppet show, which has kermit on disc 1, piggy on disc 2, fozzie on disc 3, and gonzo on disc 4. which characters woudl you want to see on discs for other collections? here is my list: season 2: animal on disc 1, bunsen and...

Sweetums I think the mouth of Sweetums was performed using the performers right hand, which could go into the right hand. there are two scenes with sweetums that I think makes this obvious. At the beginning of the great muppet caper, when sweetums is running and falls into the sewer, he...

I don't know for sure, but I think Gorgon heap was performed using one hand for the mouth. However, I think that behemoth required his performer to use both hands for the mouth, and another performer for the hands. I have noticed that behemoth wasn't used much, so perhaps that is why. Maybe...

Big Bird Carroll Spinney perform Big Bird with his right arm in the head and his left arm controlling his right arm. a very invisible wire is connected from both hands into his neck. when he moves his left arm, his right arm can go up. Big Bird has moved his right arm more easily in the...

are there any segments that you think that, if you had a copy of one, you coul;d trade it for anything you wanted? any sesame street sketches that are really rare, as in they never aired on noggin, were never released on video, and online video traders don't have them. there is one skit that...

some of my favorite cartoons: *the cartoon about the ostrich (featuring an animated cameo by Big Bird). *a cartoon where a guy keeps asking a chicken "why did the chicken cross the road?", and at the end the chicken turns out to be a duck in a chicken mask. *The monster who ate the...

There was once an interview with Jim henson where he said that as long as the fans want them, the Muppets would be around, and if people got tired of them, he would have retired them. I am not sure if the Jim Henson Company (or Disney) thinks the same way as Jim Henson did, but with fans like...

two more I just remembered two more crossover appearances, and they both appeared in the song "put Down The Duckie". these are Edith Prickley and Yosh Shmenge. These two characters were originally on SCTV (if you don't know who they are, they were the first two celebrities who appeared in that...

in "catch a tail by the tiger", it is said that Traveling matt used to always see marjourie the trash heap. However, does anybody know if they ever appeared together on the show (perhaps in one of the flashback episodes)?

Actually, Steve Whitmire was in the last three seasons of The Muppet Show (or is that the last two and a half, considering that he started halfway through the third season?), and he was in all of the muppet movies, he just didn't have any specific characters in The Muppet Movie.

each video still no answer? well, I just started another thread asking about Kai-Lees performer, and the answer I got was Camille Bonora. anyway, why not make a performers list for all of the videos? those who have them can listen to voices or read the credits to see who is in them. I would...

more nicknames there is a trivia question in Sesame Street Unpaved that asks to match the various nicknames with those that he gave others. according to this, he called big bird "overgrown bag of giblets, a.k.a. feather face", Snuffy "fur face, a.k.a. Mount Rushmore", Luis "mr. badwrench"...

Thanks. I figured that it was either Fran Brill or Camille Bonora, but I haven't heard her voice in a long time (and at that time it wasn't as easy for me to identify performers by their voices, even if they sounded the same as another character). I am glad that somebody finally answered that. I...

three gordons, three pages I just realized something. there were three gordons, and now this thread has three pages. incredible. as for gabbi and miles still being on the show as teens, I was talking about characters who started out as teenagers. gabbi and miles started out as babies. and...

I wonder if Oscar ever had any pet names for bruno, grungetta, irvine, telly or Slimey.

La, La, La La la la is a very good song that often gets stuck in my head. It is a good thing they haven't remade that song (yet).
