That's okay, Minor. I read the post at the bottom last, so I avoided reading your other post with the spoilers. :)

And to Johnny, thanks for that info. I know Kevin did prerecord Elmo's dialog for certain occassions such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I guess he was either required to or obligated to finish some things before leaving. I know about the "two-week notice" agreement before leaving a...

Now I am a little curious about this Count tribute episode since according to what I'm hearing, it's Matt as the Count in that one. But wouldn't that have been before Jerry's death. As someone mentioned, the street scenes were taped prior to Kevin's departure which I'm guessing would have been...

Yeah. I kind of thought it was Kevin's Elmo in street scenes and ETM and Ryan's is usually used in WOTD and some inserts. Just thought I'd ask about that.

Okay. I don't get ESPN2 or any sports channels which is why I didn't see it before. Either way, it's nice to see.

Actually, that wasn't me who mentioned that since I don't watch the ETM segment. Though that would have been cool to see. So I'm guessing that would have been Ryan as Elmo there if it was taped after Jerry's passing since I know Kevin's departure happened around the same time, so if anyone has...

Did anyone see Fozzie's appearance in the commercial during the world series, when everyone was saying "Wocha Wocha?" as a chant for Michael Wocka. I'm curious as to if this was something new or if this was footage from another one of his appearances. Any thoughts on this?

I have to agree. If they can bring back those, they can easily bring back othe classics like, Monsterpiece Theater, Grover the Waiter (though we still do see Grover/Mr. Johnson sketches), SS News Flashes, maybe with Telly in his Monster on the Spot attire if they can't use Kermit. Just a few...

Okay. I know what you mean since I have seen the remake of that one with Richard as Forgetful. Yeah. It would be nice to have the original on DVD or something.

"Make it fit." That segment might be appropriate for me considering how often I have to pack oodles of grocery bags into itty-bitty carts. GRRRR!! Maybe I'll take a look at that when I get a chance, or maybe I'll wait until it actually airs. We'll see.

I didn't know that there were others. I thought it was shortly after the toothbrushing sketch that they brought in Richard Hunt.

Yeah. It seems like Ryan's :laugh: is seen more in inserts while the street scenes still use Kevin's probably because those are the parts of the show they taped earlier. Yet, a few earlier WOTD's still use Kevin's :laugh: . (Interesting note: I figured out how to work the smilie thing on my...

Okay. Thanks Oscarfan. Like I said, Ryan's Elmo is good, but with more raspiness and less sweetness in the voice and maybe Ryan's is a bit deeper as well, but he's still good and sometimes it's hard to tell a difference so keep us updated on that.

I agree with you completely. It especially frustrates me when people do that while driving or in line at the grocery store where I work. GRRRRRRRRRR! So does anyone know if it was Kevin or Ryan voicing him there? I'm going to guess Kevin, because I think the only inserts with Ryan's Elmo...

I know what you mean. I had hoped that the anchors would have had more of a conversation with those guys. It seems like the interviews shown were from past clips, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that.

I'm glad I caught that. I was a little worried because I haven't gotten my VCR set up and I have too many errands to run to sit through the whole thing today, but I caught the time. They said this should start at 8:45, so I'll keep my eyes open. Was that it? They did talk about the Muppets...

Yeah. I've noticed that too. I don't think that's something they'd air again these days. (Heck, hardly anything from the 70s and 80s are things they'd air again these days, but that's a different story.)

You got me, but Miles left a few years back. I know it's sad when longtime cast members leave, but it seems like Chris, Leela and Mando have taken their place as the resident 'young adult' cast members.

Yeah. I see what you mean. Also I've noticed that it's often repeat episodes where they put all the good new stuff in and episodes with newer street stories just use the repeated segments. It seems like they're never consistent.

Or do the obvious thing: Make more newer ones.
