But of course, in this difficult situations, we should learn to express our emotions...

(I think I liked "Happy" best, lol. Though kinda odd how "Afraid" sounded like a certain "Meep-er"!)
I remember that!

Aggggh I've been away so long on account of I didn't notice that it wasn't in my subscriptions list anymore and now you all have made 4220 POSTS!

I'M SO SORRY.

Sweet video. And I...I kinda liked Muppets from Space almost more than every other Muppet movie except for THE Muppet Movie...but that's just me, I'm young, it's sort of who it was targeted for. :smile:
Good to see you back again, MBM!:smile:

Lol, I've never liked Rob Lowe, and I've never understood why so many girls think he's good-looking, but that's great that he was good in the movie, too.
Yeah! I really don't get what's so great about him either?

Hey guys! Well, a few updates are prolly in order. Seeing how I've pratically been wiped off the face of the muppety earth about twice now.
Sorry to here so many lousy things have been happening, Sara! It will get better!

Yeah, it's strange when you see something that you haven't seen it years that you used to be afraid of. Sometimes that happens to me an I just go what was I so afraid of? LOL!:smile:

It's like I said earlier, either in this thread or somewhere else: none of us knew (or even met) Richard while he was alive, yet we miss him as if he was our best friend.

And seeing as he performed so many favorite characters in TMS, SS and FR, in a way he actually was a best friend for many Muppet fans across the globe.
Another entry I liked was David's, "Richard Hunt raised me. He was an old friend I saw every day of my life, in some form."

You know I've always had different interests that I've really gotten into. But it struck me one day, I've enjoyed his work since I was a child, I mean very young. That's a long way to go back. It's pretty amazing when you think about it.

I know...I'd been seeing Richard's characters on television since I was really little, but in most cases I didn't know it was him.

"Richard Hunt raised me..." that's a really nice way to put it. Let's face it, he's done something suitable for all stages of life. I mean, the very young set has Sesame Street, the grade-school set has Fraggle Rock, and the teenagers and grownups have the Muppet Show. But, with the obvious exception of the land of Gorch skits, the Muppet shows and films weren't completely restricted to one age group. There was something for everyone.

Lol, yeah those Gorch sketches are completely insane! :eek:

I first saw the special Muppets Go to the Movies years ago, actually about a year after Richard passed away. And I realized much later that most of my favorite parts from that special were from him, even though at the time I didn't know who he was.

Speaking of childhood memories, this is a Forgetful Jones skit I definitely remember seeing as a child.

Slightly different take on "What's the Name of That Song"!

Oh, it's one of those "if you don't know the chorus, you're all out of luck" songs. Poor guy.

And the Gorch sketches - when I first heard the mighty Favog advise Scred on his love life, I thought, "Holy cow, the Muppets are tackling this stuff?"

Hope everyone had a good weekend; I went to Atlantic City yesterday to see Asia - the rock band, that is. Had a great time, pretty much sang my vocal cords out.

That's cool, that you could hear Brian at the beginning, thanks for pointing that out!

Yeah to be honest, I'm not sure I would have liked some of the Favog sketches if I'd seen them at the time, lol. Just not my kind of humor.

Cool, glad Atlantic City was fun. I went to see a performance of Kiss Me, Kate. I'd never seen it before, it was fantastic! :smile:

Hmm, I'm not sure who is performing Clemetine in that sketch. Three different performers have played her. It's definitely not Kevin Clash here, so it's either Brian or Camille Bonora.

I just remember! I didn't quite get the joke as a kid, I thought the title of the song was "La de da de da" because that's how they kept answering Forgetful. Lol

I'm not sure it Camille Bonora was on the show yet, so I'm pretty sure it was Brian.


Yeah, I got it, sort of because I always thought everybody was just trying to find out the name of an song as opposed to actually sing a sing titled "What's the name of that song" I used to wish that one day they would find out the name to that song. This sketch confuses me further and I'm actually still confused to this day? hehe!:stick_out_tongue::zany:
