Muppets Lost Promos

I definitely would buy a membership for that. But they'd have to let Canadians watch videos on their site first....

Muppets.com isn't set up where Canadians can see their videos?

Jim Henson suggested Steve as the next person to perform Kermit, and with that mantle being passed down to Steve by Jim the choice couldn't have been bad. Jim didn't make bad decisions (that's my opinion). To say Steve is a bad performer of Kermit is saying Jim made bad decisions, and I don't agree with that.

I've said it multiple times, but if I was a puppeteer, even if I did the voice dead on, I would hate to perform Kermit. The Chef, Link, Beaker... someone who's character subtleties are minor and have a broader comedic range. Kermit is ALL about subtleties, and some of them were lost. That can't be helped. Again, It's totally different from when Warner Bros needs people for Looney Tunes and just gets whoever sounds the most like that character and whoever's the most available.

Sorry Kev, but people outside of the US, even me have not the ability to access and view the greatness that is Muppets XD.

Then, what's the answer? No more Kermit? Another performer other than Steve--we saw how well that worked out.

Steve has done a great job since 1990, and I appreciate his work. I'm thankful the Muppets have had him.

Hopefully, something will work out with the way online videos are viewed so everyone can see them. Can the youtube videos be seen outside the USA?

Everyone should write Diz and ask for a Muppets.com version outside the USA.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but yes, youtube is perfectly accessible. The go and stop nature of the videos however is why I've recurred to asking for MUP3 versions of the clips. So annoying... To have yo.ur... enjoy.ment of a... clip cut.off... in midviewing.

Bobo had the best line in the whole thing when he namechecked "Arrested Development".

Funny.

Wait. Bobo once advertised for Arrested Development? I have got to see that video, I'm a huge fan of Arrested Development
