It's the Muppet Thread

3PO has a lawyer?

 

[Platypus Prime]

Well, if he didn't he does now...and after Beaker said THAT...in a WORKPLACE of all things, I'd say he's got a good case...

Love that video, but still not a fan of Kermit's current voice.

Was Gobo really always that big? I thought he was closer to Robin's size back when he and Kermit first met the Fraggles in A Muppet Family Christmas.

Nah, you misremember. He was Gobo's size then too.

Same here. I miss the old voice performer.

Well of course Gobo was Gobo's size. He's Gobo.

Their policy of passing roles on to existing members of the Henson Company troupe instead of letting outsiders audition has definitely been detrimental. Sesame Street did an anniversary special a while back, and I could really tell which of the Muppets had been recast. Even Eric Jacobson, who took over for Frank Oz ages ago and did such a good job with Fozzie and Miss Piggy that no one even noticed, was struggling with Grover. Funnily enough he's doing a fine job with Oscar here.
