Well, with this recasting, which originals are left? All the original puppeteers are either dead or have moved on.

I can't see any future for quality Muppet material. This is truly disheartening news to return to.

Ah, yes Dave.

Steve I kinda consider second gen, if only because of his moving into the front ranks after Jim's passing. But yes, he has been there for quite some time.

Still doesn't negate the sadness of the situation.
