Well, (to paraphrase Indiana Jones) That's the trick, isn't it?

We've got a really savvy guy working that angle for us so I'm moving ahead with confidence.

If all else fails, we'll have a pilot episode that will be aired a minimum of once on local TV with plenty of advertising in the "fan geek" community, so it should be able to be parlayed into a bigger and better result than just an airing.

BorkBork,

Thank you for the compliment! :smile:

Growing up in the 1970's, I (like many other kids) was really into the Muppets. I started to impersonate Kermit and Rowlf by singing along with the Muppet Movie soundtrack. Picking them up in song actually helped me learn their range. After that, spoken words were fairly easy. As I got older and my voice leveled out, I found that I had picked up many of the inflections that Jim Henson used when he spoke (and naturally came out when he did his Muppet characters). Strangely enough, I do a better impersonation of Jim Henson than I do of Kermit or Rowlf or Hogthrob or Bebopdediddlydog Bop!
