    if Muppets Tonight had succedded...

    Bobo and Clifford both still make appearances from time to time. Clifford just didn't appear in it's a very merry muppet christmas movie (except for in a picture), and bobo just didn't appear in The Muppets Wizard of Oz. They also don't appear in smaller muppet productions like the Mastercard...

    if Muppets Tonight had succedded...

    If Muppets tonight had been more successful, what do you think would have happened? I think that seymour, Nigel the director, and carl would still be around, but Mr. Poodlepants, Bill the Bubble Guy, and Gary Chuenga would be phased out. I think something similar would have happened with...

    Disney's bought...

    Just because Disney buys Looney Tunes doesn't mean that they have to buy warner bros. Disney bought the Muppets and bear In The Big Blue House, but they didn't buy the rest of the Jim Henson Company. If Disney did just buy Looney Tunes, I wonder what kind of problems there would be including...

    The main performers of the Play-Along videos

    Karen Prell, Mak Wilson and Mike Quinn performed the Goslins, and the only other credited puppeteer was a woman whose first name was Angelina. I forget her last name, but she performed mother Goose. karen prell is the only performer on that show that I can identify the voice of, so it is a bit...

    how full body muppets have been performed

    yeah, I wasn't sure if i should have mentioned that in that thread or if I should have started a new thread. That thread was originally meant to be about how the bigger normal-sized puppets worked, and went on to discuss full-body characters.

    why were there three gordons?

    I don't think there are too many differences. hal Miller pretty much looks like matt Robinson without a mustache, and Roscoe orman looks like matt Robinson without hair. For the third gordon, they could have used the replacement as an opportunity to talk about being bald. I think I have...

    How were the large monsters performed?

    how full body muppets have been performed

    I thought it would be good to make a listing of the various ways that full-body muppets have been performed. it is okay if you want to include full-body puppet characters from non-henson shows, but for the most part I will just focus on characters from henson shows. The Muppet Show...

    Should the Muppets retire?

    I think that most of the muppets that were created for the jim henson hour are a bit different. They were very cool-looking. It's a shame they weren't used more since then.

    There have been a small number of crossovers between the muppets and sesame street cast since then. Elmo appeared at muppetfest, the cast of both shows appeared in a music video called "We are family" (although I don't think that should count, since it featured characters from other kids shows...

    How were the large monsters performed?

    Sweetums I think the mouth of Sweetums was performed using the performers right hand, which could go into the right hand. there are two scenes with sweetums that I think makes this obvious. At the beginning of the great muppet caper, when sweetums is running and falls into the sewer, he...

    How were the large monsters performed?

    I don't know for sure, but I think Gorgon heap was performed using one hand for the mouth. However, I think that behemoth required his performer to use both hands for the mouth, and another performer for the hands. I have noticed that behemoth wasn't used much, so perhaps that is why. Maybe...

    Should the Muppets retire?

    There was once an interview with Jim henson where he said that as long as the fans want them, the Muppets would be around, and if people got tired of them, he would have retired them. I am not sure if the Jim Henson Company (or Disney) thinks the same way as Jim Henson did, but with fans like...
