Now, about the Elton John episode: Has anyone else noticed (how can I put this delicately?) let's call it "Frank Oz's view" of Elton John during "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"?
I haven't noticed that. But what I often wonder is how Frank Oz felt when having Grover sit on Lena Horn or Madeline Kahn's laps when they appeared on Sesame Street.

Hahaha I DEFINITELY noticed this! Elton John and David Bowie have more similarities than originally thought :wink:

Rich Little is great at what he does, no doubt.

Shame he's such an a**hole in real life.

I doubt Frank was looking at anything other than a monitor at that point. When you're puppeteering, you don't pay attention to anything like that.
Yes. I know. I've used a monitor once or twice.

I was trying to come up with a way of mentioning Elton John's skin tight pink bodysuit and lack of panty line that would be appropriate for all ages on this board.

Guess I was being TOO subtle.

Well, it's been a while since I posted here, but I thought I'd comment on the Petula Clark episode. I have to admit, I was disappointed with Kermit when I saw it. He wouldn't let Mickey hang around backstage just because of his name. That would be like not wanting Gonzo around just because he's weird. I mean, Kermit's a great character and all, but you have to admit, that was pretty cruel of him. Anyone else agree.

I love the character of Kermit because (to me) he has the most realistic characteristics of an average human. Even frogs can get jealous. :smirk:

I have wondered about this...I can only assume that the lot of them are serious prefessionals. :wink:

You mean Kermit is jealous of Mickey Mouse? I hadn't thought of that before, but you may be right. Though they did get along well in the "Muppets at Walt Disney World" special. Just something to think about.
