Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Janice isn't the only member left out. I don't think Lips is on this album, either (do any of the Electric Mayhem numbers feature prominent trumpet solos or prominent trumpet sounds?).
Although Janice is not vocally there, the album is still great and you should still buy it. You can hear her rocking the guitar. There are lots of characters left out -- but take a look at what you do get (12 great Muppet songs), not what you don't get. You'll just be missing out on a great holiday album.
Also, it's not "Phillip's review"... it's my review, but I'll let ya slide

GelflingWaldo, I apologize...I hurriedly went to the review and skimmed through it, just assuming it was Phillip. I'm sorry.
And maybe you can hear Janice on guitar, but can you see her on the album artwork? I doubt it. Still there's no excuse to exclude her like that---now I know how the Floyd fans felt about his missing bust.
I'm just so annoyed at the fact there's no Janice that I may just wait and download some tracks and see what I think. But for the most part for me, The Muppets are nostalgaic. I would support new tasteful Muppet endeavors if they were true to character and retained fan favorites (I have no desire to see "Oz" again, ugh), but the Golden Age of the Muppets is what gives my biggest warm Henson fuzzies. The "Fraggle" box sets, "Muppet Show", "Sesame Street Old School" (if I can find it in any store, grrrr!), and for Christmas, "John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together" (the album and NOT the special)...I'll just indulge in my favorite gems of Muppets Past.
The album features pictures of Kermit (3x), Piggy (2x), Fozzie (1x), and the Swedish Chef (1x).
It is a shame Jancie is nowhere to be heard, but the album still has that classic Muppet feel and spirit (there were many classic Mayhem numbers she was silent in too). I main fact is they haven't really found anyone suitable and stable since Richard Hunt passed away. You should still consider buying the album (right now its going for as low as $6 some places).
Janice isn't the only member left out. I don't think Lips is on this album, either (do any of the Electric Mayhem numbers feature prominent trumpet solos or prominent trumpet sounds?).
Don't forget clifford. I still consider him an Electric Mayhem member. He worked great with them in the Muppet at Disney World special. Too bad the entire group never got to be put in a production again since then.
Is it just me or would a nice song from Sam Eagle have been appreciated on this album? Not a complaint, just a thought I just had that seemed funny to me. Sam trying to sing a song and maybe Animal messing it up for him.
But, yeah, it's a shame that she was gone. But remember on the Mwoo album there was a EM song from first season Muppet Show (Tenderly) and Janice's voice was wrong, wrong, wrong. I'd have felt worse if she appeared with the wrong voice than not appearing at all I think. Don't you?
