*facepalms* I am really slipping on the trivia!

And Renee, according to Emmy's site, the bird watchers plot lasted the entire episode but Richard is only around for about the first half or so before going off to check out the parrot at the Fix-It Shoppe. He doesn't show up again until the end of the episode.

Aw, man! That sounds cool! I'll have to find it!

So who wants to do the next question? Unless you want it to be weekly, of course.

I really wish I could have seen that episode. Sounds like it was before my time.

Steve rully (first time I've said it like Janice) rully has an easy task of following Richard's performance of Beaker. After all surely anybody could make the appropriate meemeemeep sound:wink:
But I agree with Snowthy. His presence among the muppets in general will naturally be sorely missed and we shall never forget him.

It's not just the voice, it is also the manipulation and performing of the puppet. Beaker is a very specific puppet that is probably not easy to do. So I would not say that "anybody" could do it.

Yes, Richard Hunt was a gem and will always be missed.

That's true. But also, I've realized that the voice ain't too easy either. He inhales while he does it, and now that I know that my impression is pretty good, but before my weeks of practice, it sounded like six different pitches of Beaker were all drowning in a pit of snakes. :eek:

That'd be just Beaker's luck, too :wink:

I don't know, I honestly can't think of any other questions.
