Reply I see. "Sam and Friends" was before my time though. I wish it was available on video or something like that.

I was reading this book at the library yesterday on the works of Jim Henson and there was a picture of an album titled "Sesame Street: The original cast" or something like that. On this album, there was a guy with a thick afro-like hairstyle and a beard and I was wondering if that was Matt...

Reply I might get back to you on that, Punk. I want to comment on the difference between Prarie Dawn and Betty Lou. I've actually only seen Betty Lou in books. I've rarely seen her on the show, so she might have mainly been used in earlier sketches. I do remember a lot of moments with...

Reply I have some ideas. Do the guest stars have to be from that list? Because I don't know who most of those people are, but I have thought of other people being on the show. It's just hard for me to come up with a plot line and comments from Waldorf and Statler and songs and everything...

Reply Wow. I never knew the Two Headed Monster had names. Also, a lot of Richard Hunt's characters were on that list. Has anybody else performed them since he died?

Reply Boy. I don't even know who he is. I thought you were asking about Sam the Eagle. I'm not sure about either one of them.

Reply I agree with what you said. I mean Gonzo appeared on "Hollywood Squares" about a few months ago and he was the main character on "Muppets from Space," but lately Fozzie hasn't done too much of anything. I wonder if this has to do with Frank Oz retiring. Hmmm...

Reply Yeah. Sorry I wasn't much help there. It's just that I haven't seen that episode in a while. Also, I'm not very familiar with the newer Muppet characters.

Reply I have been wondering when they were going to play that one on TV. I didn't think it would be played for quite a while yet. I'll have to tape it next time it comes on.

Reply (I'll try again, since nobody seemed to like my first idea) They found Big Bird. Kermit explained that he wanted Big Bird to perform on the show. But the cast of Dog City started complaining that this eight-foot bird was getting more publicity then they were. Kermit was about to...

Reply I vaguely remember "Pigs In Space" from "Muppets Tonight!" It really isn't the same. Heck, I don't think anyone knows who those pigs or creatures are in that. (Well except for Miss Piggy of course.) They should have brought back the original crew.

Reply I know Miss Piggy's character was based on the model Peggy Lee, but that's all I can think of. A lot of these other people were before my time.

Reply One thing that sort of interests me is that some Muppets used to be different colors: (Ex: Fozzie used to be darker brown; Oscar the Grouch used to be orange) I was wondering, did they have to rebuild the Muppets to change their colors or did they just use some kind of spraypaint or...

Reply O.K., I guess I was thinking about Alan Maraoka. Sorry about that.

Reply Do you have to have VH-1 to see that or is it shown on other cable channels as well?

Reply I read the outline and that sounds like a good one. I wonder when Timelife will deliver it.

Reply Well, it couldn't have been Richard Hunt voicing Statler, because he's not with us anymore, but I know what you're saying. I saw Waldorf and Statler in a "Denny's" commercial and it didn't sound like Dave Goelz and Jerry Nelson doing their voices. I'll have to listen for that again next...

Reply That's not a bad idea, but I'm pretty satisfied with the Timelife videos, since they're uncut and show the UK spots. I don't think they'd do that on Nick and Nite. Still, it's worth considering.

Reply That would be good. It would be nice to see more "Sesame Street" actors show up on the Muppet Show. By the way, I think Alan Arkin and Ruth Buzzi really did guest star on "The Muppet Show," but are on "Sesame Street" now. I just thought I'd add that bit of information. I really liked...

Reply I think that's usually referred to as the "number pinball segment."
