I have to agree. I liked those "Gonzo is a whatever" jokes, especially the one in Veteran's Hospital:
Janice: To donate your body don't you have to be dead?
Gonzo: So what? I believe in re-incarnation.
Piggy: What would you come back as next time?
Gonzo: How should I...

I'm going with ALF too. He's one of my favorites, but I also like seeing him in those 10-10-220 commercials. Since his show is off the air and it isn't on in reruns. Seeing ALF anywhere is good.

I think the company wanted to retire Rowlf the Dog as a tribute to Jim Henson. (considering that was his signature character) He's still seen occasionally, but he doesn't say anything. I agree with you on Scooter, Janice and Dr. Teeth though. They should get some new performers for them.

Let's see, based on the ones I have on video I'll go with Racquel Welsh, Elton John, Gene Kelly, Dom DeLouise, Star Wars (sorry Gorgon), Jon Cleese, John Denver, Paul Simon and Harry Belafonte.

I see. What sort of puzzles me is I don't see Eric Jacobson's name at the Internet Movie Database. The only Frank Oz character that they give a new performer credit for is Cookie Monster (David Rudman). I know imdb.com makes a lot of mistakes, but still I think they should be aware of...

Yeah. I was sort of surprised to see her at the top of the Muppet Central homepage with the other Muppets. It looks like she's already getting popular.

I definately remember the Grover as a waiter sketches. It's too bad there's only one of them transcribed at the Sesame Street Lyrics Archive site. I'd still like to see something official that talks about Frank Oz's retirement. I mean, when Jim Henson died, most people knew about it...

Sorry, but I have to go with Kermit and Miss Piggy. I think they look good together. I especially like a lot of they're songs: (Ex: "Couldn't We Ride," "He'll/She'll Make Me Happy," "Love Led Us Here," etc.)
Aha!
Aha! So you're the one we need to blame. I'm just kidding. I'll look forward to seeing it at the end of the month. If it takes longer, I'll understand. Take your time.

Oh, O.K. I see. That makes sense because when Bugs said it, it was "Sir Loin of beef, Earl of Cloves, Milk of Magnesia, Quarter of Ten." I guess we're getting off the Muppet subject here so I'll shut up now.

I'll go with canary for Big Bird too, because Oscar once called him a big canary (of course he also called him a turkey, but he doesn't look like one).

That was hilarious. I think Forgetful Jones would fit right in on the Muppet Show. Of course, he'd have to have a new performer since the death of Richard Hunt.

Scooter's right. In fact that's the only one I can remember. It's in the Racquel Welsh episode which is on volume #2 of the "Best of the Muppet Show" collection. That is one of...

I have to agree with that, Kim. Whenever I here the first line in "The Rainbow Connection: Why are there so many songs about rainbows?" I immediately think of "Somewhere over the rainbow." Come to think of it. I don't know too many other songs about rainbows.
