I don't know. Let's use this comparison. Casey Kasem stopped performing the voice Shaggy on Scooby-Doo for the direct-to-video movies, but he returned to do the voice on the new series. (Sorry, Punk, I know you don't like the show, but I thought I'd use this as an example.) So Frank...

Yeah. That's food for thought. It also would have been interesting to see a Baby Swedish Chef or a Baby Lew Zealand. Maybe even a Baby Sam the Eagle.

That was originally from the Bob Hope episode. I was sort of shocked that they didn't use the original opening credits for the Vincent Price episode. I didn't think Time Life cut anything out. Oh, well. Seeing a first season episode without it's original opening credits is better...

I know we've had a thread like this before, but that's okay. I've thought of more S & W quotes from last time. By the way, Extell. Were you referring to the opening from the Harry Belafonte episode? Because they have been seen in that episode even after they say that. Just thought...

Yeah. Me too. The new characters must have appeared at the time I stopped watching the show. I wonder why they didn't have the Electric Mayhem there originally (well, except for Animal). I guess they considered how hip and groovy those characters were on TMS and it was hard to...

I was thinking the same thing. At the time Muppet Babies was made, people knew who Janice was, but no one knew Scooter had a sister. I didn't see that episode of "Muppet Babies" where Janice appeared. Was she still sort of a valley girl in that?

So, that's good. So we will still have Jerry in later productions? That's good. He's one of the few original Muppateers we have left. Well, along with Dave Goelz and Steve Whitemire.

O.K., let's see if I got this right. What would I have seen if I was around to watch the show's first season:
A different actor playing Gordon
A weird looking Big Bird with more of a dopey voice
An orange Oscar the Grouch
A long-haired Luis (or did he come later?)
A...
Rizzo the Rat
Boy, I was waiting for a Rizzo thread. I like the character. It's interesting how he went from a silent background character on "The Muppet Show," then had quite a big part on "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and became Gonzo's best friend in later years. Heck, that rat could...

I don't know about that, but it was definately Frank who did Fozzie's voice in MTI. I don't think the way the writers made Fozzie have to do with his retirement. I don't know for sure. I'm just guessing.

No, you're not the only one, Tommie. I didn't know Jerry was ill either. I just found that out now. I hope he'll be back. A lot of his characters would be hard to replace.
Oh, I get it. "Journey to Ernie" shows classic Bert and Ernie skits from earlier on the show. I didn't think they played those anymore. You people probably think I'm a complete idiot for just figuring that out now. Lol. I should watch the show more often. Besides it would be good to hear...
