I know what you're saying, but I don't ever remember Piggy talking about a "knee" .....but I am not one that is shocked nor suprised. I guess it comes with the times, or they are evolving, or it was the shows humor/writing, or it was Eric's idea. Again, I'm not complaining, just observing. Sure, Piggy has always been a little flirty . . . but it seemed more than usual.
I hear you regarding the voice. Doing a voice with practiced scripts and lines is one thing, but ad libbing with Piggy's voice is another as we heard. Not that I would ever have any remote chance, but I try to imagine if I was put in that position and was trying to do the best Piggy I could do . . . . I wouldn't want a bunch of fans unhappy with it. So like with all the new pupeteers, we just have to learn to love it I guess. I'm sure it will be a lot better and what we've come to expect from Eric when it is scripted for tv shows or movies. I'm trying to be positive, it's late.
