I've noticed that in the openning. Steve, Dave, Bill, and Eric were shown as the main Muppeteers. While the rest were shown at the end as secondary Muppeteers. I guess the first four Muppeteers got top billing because they voiced the main characters. Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy, Gonzo, and Pepe.

Drew Massey as Spotted Dick... sweet!

For those of you who might be interested, Drew Massey performed Count Blah on Greg the Bunny, as well as several other characters on the short-lived series.

That and they are the principle Muppeteer staff. Just like how it was always Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz and Richard Hunt as "top billing"

I haven't seen that yet, I think Mike's Super Short Show is annoying, they show the same clip over and over for about a month before they show I new one. :stick_out_tongue:

Thats what they do. Think of it as a regular commercial or trailer on tv. That is basically all it it. They aren't going to do a new one until something new is released.
