I've thought of that myself. I sort of wonder how Carroll Spinney sounds in real life. I imagine it would be hard for someone as old as he is to do the voice of a 6-year-old bird. But he does it very well. I've seen Jim on TV. I thought he sounded similar to Ernie and Kermit. I...

Yeah. I remember he always remembered who Buster was and Clementine. He had forgotten other people's names though. (Once he called Kermit, McDermit.)

Nope. If it was just on regular Nickolodeon, it wouldn't be a problem. Oh, well. Thanks for the info, Phil. I have been wondering how other people were able to watch reruns of the show. Maybe I should look into getting a satelite dish or something.

That's good that Carroll is dedicated. It's hard to imagine what will happen when he's no longer able to play Big Bird. Again, I heard Matt's Big Bird and he didn't sound too bad. I'm just glad Carroll is around for the time being.

I'm not sure. Heck, I didn't know about it until I saw it about two years ago in my art class. Lol. It was probably around 1987, since that's when the Muppets turned 30.

I really hadn't thought about the fact that Elmo had two different performers. I sort of thought Richard's Elmo, was used before the character was Elmo (just a generic monster character). I remember seeing Elmo on the show when I was young, but I didn't realize he had been played by two...

Since when did the role-play game begin again? Or shall I say--
Hey, man. What's the haps? We ain't got time to fool around. We've gotta get ready for our next gig!
Here's another good one:
After Debbie Harry sings "One Way or Another:"
Statler: I wonder who she was looking for.
Waldorf: Probably the guy that booked her on this crummy show.

I hadn't really thought of that much. I'll have to listen more carefully for that. I think in the case of Fozzie it might have been the other way around. I've noticed in the Vincent Price episode from Season 1, Fozzie sounded a little more gruff than usual in quite a few of his lines.

Also, I saw Sully on the 'Sesame Street: 25th Anniversary Special.' He was in the intro with Barbara Walters. I don't know who did the pupateering though.

Yeah. That's what I thought. They wouldn't give Frank credit for something he didn't do. And I agree that Eric's Fozzie's really good. Same with his Miss Piggy. Now, if they could just find a better voice for Animal or Sam the Eagle...

That's good, Barry. Are you going to make a transcript of that particular "Pigs in Space" or are you going to work on a new one. That sounds like a good idea. I could hear Link and Dr. Strangepork completely ignoring Fozzie. Lol.

Just a few notes there. I can tell just by listening to the voice Fozzie was done by Oz in MTI. Also, he had to have done at least a little bit of Fozzie in MFS, because he receives credit for that. Also, I think I heard that Frank did all his characters the whole time on MCC. I do...
