Don Music and Gladys the Cow? Cause both of those were performed by Richard Hunt.

The banging head on piano got me to thinking.

True, and yes, I do know this. However does he not manipulate Muppets on Sesame Street? The show was on 7 yaers before the Muppet show. They were called Muppets even before Sesame Street. If it's a matter of project-exclusiveness then why isn't Dave Goelz given the same type of 'tag'??

The question still remains unanswered!
well that ancered MY question! I always wonderd why Dave was NEVER on SS.

ha... lurn somthin new every day! :smirk:

Okay, okay... I'll let that one go.

But why cast him doing both voices? Would that not cause a logistical nightmare for the video editors?
This is just a guess here, but maybe the show was featuring the talents of Caroll Spinney in the same way the Muppet show featured Frank Oz.

But there you go... AAAHH!!!!


The Muppet SHow - how many times does Fozzie talk to Piggy? Or Fozzie talk to Sam? Or Piggy talk to Sam? Or any of them talk to Animal? Or any of the above with George, Marvin Suggs, etc, etc?

Answer: NEVER! (or hardly ever!)

The Kermit/Rowlf thing in the Muppet Movie was a special one-off thing, so don't dare bring that up!

But on Sesame Street Big Bird and Oscar had REGUALR SCENES TOGETHER!!!!!


I'm not going crazy... I'm not going crazy... I'm not going crazy...

Maybe it is because those are pretty much the only main characters he has?

Okay. If that's an answer, I'll except it as one. Alright.

So here comes the big $64,000.00 question.




If they're his Main Characters, WHY WRITE THEM TOGETHER ALL THE TIME?????

Does a-n-y-o-n-e here know what I'm talking about???

Dude, Marky. You're kinda freaking out here. Can you please explain it, cause I have no clue at all.
