I went to the studio today and watched them tape a bunch of new elevator sketches. I don't know when they will be up on the site.

But during the shoot, they wanted to look at Topo Sticky online to make sure they were matching the way he looked before and the page was so slow in loading that even they gave up!

Exciting news. I always enjoy reading your scoops! :excited: Thanks for those.

I wonder what type of connection they were running muppets.com at the taping? My internet comes from a card provided my cell phone plan. The way it collects data causes some things (like Henson.com audio and video) to become choppy and user prohibitive, while Muppets.com can be slightly choppy and stall a bit. Maybe this will be fixed by Adobe when they revise Flash for the iphone etc. Reportedly changes will be made. Hope they are improvements. :cool:

Was Piggy in any of them?

Also, Do you have to buy a pass or something to be albr to see them? Do you just have to br "UP THERE" to see them. I would LOVE to see Piggy. Could you ever record it? Or Snap some pics?

I'm not sure if Piggy was in any of the elevator sketches... I think she was. They were calling for her when I left. But I know she was in other sketches before I got there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "UP THERE".

And this is going to seem like a rude answer, although it's not intended that way. I did take a few pictures, but it was with the understanding that I wouldn't share them. Sorry.

What I meant by "UP THERE" was that, do you have to be someone special to see them. Or can you just walk in off the street. Do you have to buy a ticket or something?

And...I understand you cant share them.:concern:

No, you can't buy a ticket or walk in off the street. There isn't any audience. I was invited by my friend who was invited by someone involved in the production.
