I don't think Bill has that kind of power.

Secondly, Pepe may be "easier" to write for because these writers have never written for Rowlf before. They can watch ever episode of TMS, every movie, every special, but they may never "know" Rowlf. They may understand Pepe a little bit more. He's newer and he hasn't been cemented in the hearts and minds of the people of the world...

True, but I was talking about the people who are super Muppet fans. You know the kind who ask, "What's the name of those old guys in the balcony?"

Isn't it weird how there's this thread about Bill, and we're not the ones who started it (and we haven't posted a whole lot)...

BBB!

What? Those are the real hardcore fans...the ones who put up old Muppet stuff on ebay with the words 'Fonzie and Rover rare Jim Henderson lot!' LOL

Anyways, my fave bill moment in recent times...Joe the Armadillo trying to take over his trailer on the KSY dvd...That was too much!

I have yet to see the KSY DVD (I'm not going to *buy* it. I have better ways to waste my money). The video store I always go to doesn't have it (they have better prices than Blockbuster. Plus no membership fees), and I'm too lazy to go to Blockbuster (first, I have to drive there. Then once I get there I'll have to wait *forever* to leave because it's on a busy street, and it takes like 3 hours for me to pull out of there)...
