Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

- This is a Muppet News Plug -

Skeeter has a large part in my fan-fic What on the other side, in which she is caving, diving, and paractising kung-fo. If you are interested the fan-fic is to be found here.

Is there any way of gettting a list of who did what voices in the movies. Especially with the talent having gne through such a transition since the deaths of Jim and Richard.

I never liked here, but i did prefer Baby Bunson and Baby Beaker over the muppet show version.

I'll tell ya why she wasn't a Muppet... cuz Howie Mandell did her voice! And Howie Mandell does not deserve to have anything to do with the Muppets.

I always loved Skeeter, but that is besides the point. Though I liked her better when Frank Welker took over her voice since I find Howie Mandell annoying.

For a while it really looked like they were trying to make her a regular Muppet. Skeeter was a featured character in Muppet Kids (which never made it to TV), the McDonald's toys for that set and she was also featured in a set of books with the rest of the gang. I have always wondered if all those products hadn't come out right before Henson's death if she wouldn't have become a bigger deal.

The Muppets now a days are definately in need of some new (and more importantly) strong female characters and Miss Piggy can't hold the entire weight of that.

I would love to see Skeeter come back. I have always thought Karen Prell would be perfect for her.
