    What the Hurricane episodes should have had

    I think that one of the hurricane episodes should have had the Sesame Street News skit where kermit interviewed the three little pigs about how they felt about the wolf blowing down their houses. The first pig was angry because his house was destroyed, the second pig was sad because his house...

    Question about Playhouse Videos' Back Covers

    Does that mean that the sherlock holmes sketch and the windmills of your mind are both on this video? After all, Muppet Moments had a picture of the snerfs on the back even though they weren't in it (maybe a sketch with them was planned to be included but was taken out at the last minute). I do...

    Muppeteers who did full body Muppets

    Frank Oz did perform some other full-body characters, but I guess not willingly, like you said. He performed Thig in The Great santa Clause switch (couldn't Jim henson have performed him?), Splurge in Hey, Cinderella!, and Doglion in the Dom Deluise episode of The Muppet Show (I wonder if he did...

    Muppet Dynamic Duos

    Another Jim Henson and Frank Oz pairing is Ernie and Lefty The Salesman. And if you are going to list The Swedish Chef as a Henson and Oz pairing because Frank Oz performed the chefs hands, then you should inlcude Dr. Phil Van Neuter as a Brian henson and Bill Barretta pairing, since Bill...

    Caroll Spinney & Martin Robinson

    Well, Big Bird and Telly have interacted a lot, although I guess they would be a duo in the sense that Elmo and Rosita are a duo, that Cookie Monster and Big Bird are a duo, or that Telly and The Count are a duo; Characters who have appeared together often, but not as a duo in the same way that...

    Caroll Spinney & Martin Robinson

    has anybody noticed that a lot of characters that were performed by caroll spinney and Martin P. Robinson are often paired together? here are some examples: Big Bird (Spinney) and Mr. Snuffleupagus (robinson) Oscar (spinney) and Telly (robinson) Oscar and Slimey (robinson) Big Bird...

    Muppet questions you were afraid to ask...

    The singer was voiced by Jim Henson, and he actually sounds like Jim Henson, not Scooter.

    Question about Playhouse Videos' Back Covers

    Can anybody tell me what pictures were on the back covers of the playhouse Muppet Show compilation videos from 1985? here are what pictures I do know were included: (all from left to right) The Muppet Revue: Miss Piggy and the pigs on motorcycles (from "i get around"), Mahna Mahna in front...

    Hurricane episodes to air September 12-16

    3 weeks I was just watching todays hurricane episode, and I noticed something interesting in Big Birds conversation with Granny. Granny told Big Bird that it would take her three weeks to fly to Sesame Street (and Big Bird was surprised when he heard how long it would take). In Follow That...

    is "doin' the pigeon" edited on video?

    On the Songs From The Street album, the song Doin' The Pigeon, the song opens with this line: "Every time when I'm feel alone and slightly blue, That's when I begin to think that's what i'd like start to do, and even though it may not be your cup of tea, I reccommend this little dance...

    "The Geeful and the Gonk" (co-operation)

    I barely remember this. For some reason I am thinking that Frank Oz performed the geefle and Jerry Nelson performed the Gonk, even though I haven't seen this since before I knew that the muppets were really puppets (and before I knew about the various puppeteers). Am I right about the performers?

    "America's Next Muppet" mini-series in development

    Maybe it would be good if a show was done where old, forgotten muppet characters audition for a second chance as a major character. George, Hilda, Seymour, Nigel The Conductor, Nigel The Director, Digit, Leon, wayne, Wanda, and Mildred could all audition. Uncle Deadley and Lips would also be...

    "America's Next Muppet" mini-series in development

    Even though some new characters have been built to compete to be americas next muppet, I still hope that they all get to appear in future productions. The Jim Henson Hour only had a small number of new characters who were used regularly in other productions, and Muppets Tonight had more who...

    should jerry Nelson have some understudies?

    Who did David Rudman perform a very brief cameo of? As for Jerry Nelson not performing the two-headed monster anymore, he had already stopped performing that monster in either 1999 or 2000, and he was still an active performer at the time. And obviously, he isn't performing Snuffy anymore...

    What are these little dudes?

    inkspots I think that the creatures you are referring to are known as The Inkspots. They were created for Fraggle Rock and have appeared in various henson productions since then, including The Jim Henson Hour (I think) and the Kokomo music video.

    directing yourself

    I have read that an episode of Welcome back, Kotter, tiled Close Encounters of the carvelli Kind, was directed by Robert Heyges, who also played Epstein, but since the show was video taped instead of filmed, he had to spend the entire episode in a controll room and couldn't act in that episode...

    A Letter From Kermit

    Before the Muppets became famous, Kermit was a common name. I have read that Jim Henson did have a friend named Kermit, but some sources have said that Kermit The Frog wasn't named after Jims friend while other sources say that he was named after a childhood friend. Oh, and Kermit The Frog...
