Changing Fozzie?

[unclematt]

Maybe this is just me but after watching Season 1 of TMS I really think that the wiggling ears added something to Fozzie. Does anybody else agree or diagree with me. think maybe they should have kept that.

 

[Beauregard]

I agree completly. Why would they drop the wiggling ears? I'd never seen them before Season 1, but if they were to bring back WIggling Ears on the modern puppet, I for one would be happy.

I also really can't adjust to his Season 1 voice...

I agree, Season 1 was great, and worth it to buy, but I think we'll get more quality episodes with Seasons 2-5, you have Beaker, Pigs in Space, the New Theme Song, Newer versions of Piggy/Fozzie/Gonzo/Floyd, and everyone has their normal voice

Actually, I caught Fozzie's ears still wiggling in the Raquel Welsh ep from season 3. Come to think of it, I haven't caught too much ear wiggling in any of the season 1 eps I have so far. I might catch it when I get the DVD and can watch more than just four episodes from that season.

The Muppet Morsels said that the mechanisim was removed because it made the puppet to heavy.

 

[Gonzo14]

my guess is that they kept a Wiggling ear Fozzie around for the scenes they needed it for

I love the ear wiggling. It's very cute. It's like, he's insecure and thinks he's un-funny, so he wiggles his ears to make up for it.

I liked the ear wiggling. Who knows, one day someone here might be able to bring it back when they are working and building Muppet characters!

Sadly, I haven't seen the wiggling ears. I must not be very observant.

 

[Gonzo14]

there wasn't much wiggling in Season 1
