So, in the end, I'm very disappointed that this all happened and I think there's blame to go all around. I'd love to see an amicable resolution to this, but it's very unlikely. I hope Matt Vogel does well with Kermit, but I'm gonna miss Steve.

I still miss Jim as Kermit, actually. And I miss Richard Hunt as Statler and Beaker. I reserve judgement on Matt Vogel's Kermit until I hear it.

What in the world of NIGHTMARES is going on?? I just found out about this and frankly, I'm STUNNED. I know I've been out of the loop - coming and going but my own life has been kicking me to the curb quite a few times so I couldn't keep up with things. Steve's been FIRED?

I'm trying to but i'm at work and don't have that much time. Right now I'm in shock. To me Steve is Kermit. I expected him to be Kermit until he passed away. I really feel like we've slipped into a black hole or alternate universe. Never in a million years would I have expected this. Steve is the Kermit that my kids (now grown and have kids of their own - imagine that) will always know.

This can't be real.

You know what? Despite everything that's going on right now, I will continue to be a Muppet fan, no matter what. :fanatic:

And why shouldn't we all? We continued to be Muppet fans after Jerry passed away; we continued to be Muppet fans after Kevin's scandal forced him to resign from SST; we continued to be Muppet fans when we lost Jane and John Henson within a year of each other; we continued to be Muppet fans when Joey voluntarily left SST; why shouldn't we continue to be Muppet fans after this?

Honestly, I couldn't have said that better myself.
