I have to agree, I liked his "pig + shrimp" comment. The funny thing is, I thought that Pepe didn't like to be called a shrimp. Anyway, I wish they could have showed more of them.
By the way, not to change to subject, but who made the new "smilie" thingies, those are pretty cool! :D...
As I was trying to say before I was so RUDELY interruped...
by my University's super-slow Internet connection.....
Yeah. Steve's been doing Ernie for about ten years now, but Eric's Bert is pretty new. I'm guessing that sketch probably came from some time in the 90s. I also wonder about...

If it's from this season, wouldn't it be Eric Jacobson adlibing Bert's lines, rather than Frank Oz? I've heard the original on Muppet Central Radio, it's possible that they might play Ernie and Bert's version too, but I'm just guessing.

I love that scene in the "Alice in Wonderland" episode. That's classic. Yeah. Frank was really great with all his characters, it's too bad he's retired. If not, we might see more of Marvin these days.

That's a tough one. I know Rowlf the Dog was retired as a tribute to Jim, but that's because he was considered his signature character. I probably will go with the reason that they couldn't find a voice for Guy Smiley. It shouldn't be too hard though. Steve Whitemire took over a...

Sorry. The copy I have was taped off of ABC and they don't show what happens during the end credits. I also remember reading something about some kind of rock-character telling a joke to Long John during the credits.

Oh, yeah. I was surprised when Long John Silver used the "d" and "h" words in his speech, but I guess I shouldn't have been for two reasons...
A. He's not a Muppet.
B. When he said h***, he was referring to the place. Also, he didn't really say da**, he said damnation, which...

I agree. In fact when Janice said that "the joints gone to he**," it really wasn't used as a swear word in that context, even though some people say it is.

I'm in favor of that too. Just a few notes. I know that Gordon was played by a different actor at that point. I've also heard that Big Bird looked different and had a different voice. Oscar was orange, but you already mentioned that. It would be good to see this episode or at...

How did Joey's Guy Smiley voice sound?
It would be nice if they'd bring the character back with a different performer. Same thing with a lot of Jim and Richard's characters.

I didn't know that. Did they really say it or just spell it out like you did? Also, someone mentioned at the "Jump the Shark" site that Fozzie might have said the "d" word after a production of Oklahoma. Is that true? Lol. It seems like Fozzie's the one with the dirtiest mouth...

I have to agree with most of that. Since I've been listening to Muppet Central Radio, I've heard a few early Big Bird songs. Carroll's Big Bird does sound sort of like Matt's in those songs. So obviously Matt is on the right track.
I've heard Eric's Bert and Grover at the "Play...

I don't know about that. Last night, I was listening to this "Under the Boardwalk" song on Muppet Central Radio and I really enjoyed Kermit and Miss Piggy's rendition of that.
