That's interesting. I know the Holiday on Ice full-body versions of Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster and the Count on 'Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.' I didn't think they were used anywhere else.

1997? That's interesting. I was thinking that it was one of Steve's first performances as Ernie and it was sort of used as a Henson tribute. I didn't know it was that recent.

And of course the most memorable one was Big Bird's famous song, "ABC-DEF-GHI-JKLMN-OPQR-STU-WXYZ, it's the most remarkable word I've ever seen!"

I've noticed that happens a lot in early episodes of TV shows. (Ex. Urkel on the second ep of "Step by Step," Michelle Tanner on the second ep. of "Hanging with Mr. Cooper.") I think a lot of shows have crossovers in their earlier episodes to get people interested.

Well, we still see Gordon regularly on the show and in the Trash Gordon segments. Maria, Luis, Gabby and Miles show up on the show quite a bit as well. Bob and Susan are still on the show, maybe not quite as often as before but they're still there. After all, they are the only two original...

Actually, that one I vaguely remember. Not very well though. I guess they talked about how they were different and how they were alike and at the end she did Ernie's famous 'Kee hee hee' laugh.

I do remember a series where Luis had a cast on his arm. I don't remember Maria with a broken nose though.

In response to that (sorry for getting off subject again), I do remember a sketch where Fat Blue couldn't make up his mind whether to have the soup or the sandwich first so Grover has to keep running back and forth and bringing him what he wants until finally he brings them both out at the same...

That was a good commercial. I can't wait to see it again. Actually, it might have been someone else playing Animal, while Eric was playing Piggy. I'm just guessing.

I've heard the "Sax and Violence" song on some sound files on the web. Nigel sounded quite a bit like Kermit there. But that was Jim's Nigel. I don't know how John's Nigel sounds though.

Wow! How long ago was this? On the 20th Anniversay Special, she said that she was a track star or something. Or maybe that was Fanny, either way I don't remember either of the girls saying anything about filmmaking. That's very interesting.

I've never heard of that. The only 'adventure' series I know of on the show is Super Grover.

Hmmm. In response to the previous posts, I don't know. It's sort of hard to imagine the show without Susan, Gordon or Bob. They were the humans that were on the show the most when I watched it growing up. Also, Maria, Luis and David were on quite a bit as well. As for Carroll Spinney, he...

That sounds like a good commercial. Hopefully, they'll air it during the Super Bowl.

Actually, they were talking about that on Regis and Kelly today, but I don't think they gave an actual starting date. I'm guessing it will be in April.

Hmmm. I haven't seen Kermit's Swamp Years so I can't comment on that. I don't know why so many people dislike VMC though. I thought that was one of the best. Oh, well. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I'd have to say my least favorite Muppet Movie was the Christmas Carol. I just...

I really enjoyed that one. I'll admit it was a bit odd to see Bunsen without Beaker, but this was season one before he existed so that's understandable.

Yeah. The Barkley closing was one I remember very clearly. I guess they changed that sometime in the 90s to a different closing with the Muppets and new music.

I guess it's a possibility. I know about quite a few actors that are gay, but still they're very talented. I never heard anything about Richard ever being married, so I don't know. I guess only Henson associates would know for sure.

Actually, about Bert taking a bath, you're probably referring to 'Christmas Eve on Sesame Street,' when Ernie's rubber duckie fell in the tub and Bert decided to get him a soap dish. That's the only time I remember seeing Bert in the tub.
