my favorite character at chuckie chese was mr. munch haha I always wanted to feed him pizza.

Oh, I love scary and weird - if they're supposed to be! Mildred and Helen gave me that "I-don't wanna-go-to-mean-Nanny's-house-carsick-kind-of-feeling'.

Bleah. Agh! NOOOO!

Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. Hilda. Man, she reminds me of the smell of old-lady house. Natrual gas & stale grease.

I thought she was kinda cool. But that might be because my Grandmother sounds and acts just like her. Just my Gramma cusses. XD

I have no memory of my grandmother. I never knew her. You're the only hope for the Alliance now.

haha yea I guess your right I used to hate Hilda as a kid because she reminded me of my smelly nany but now that I'm older I'm ok with the character.

Does anyone know why they got rid of most of the female characters from the first season??
I really miss Hilda, Mildred & Zelda, and Miss Mousey too. One day she just disappeared...(I bet the pig took out a hit on her!!!!) Now there's really just Piggy, Janice & Camilla.

Zelda Rose appeared in later seasons. In "Milton Berle" she sang "Who?" with her singing owl. She is also in some of the later At the Dance sketches & often in the audience.

As for Miss Mousey, aside from the SEason 2 opening theme, I don't think she appears until BErnadette Peters.

I don;t know, but I can guess.
My guess is that at that time, the Muppets were still very much into developing characters to particular performers. Many of those Season 1 characters that were more or less dropped were Eren Ozkar's. She left the show. So they developed a new bunch of characters more characteristic of her replacement. (who incidentally, had performed Mildred, and , Zelda as part of her TMS audition). - hence the introduction very early on in Season II of Lou-The-Jugband-Lady, and later on of course Annie Sue.
