Seymour's Disappearance Theories

[Muppet Frog]

I have a few theories on Seymour's disappearance. Not many Muppet fans probably not liked Seymour that much. Maybe no one thought he was funny. Maybe he didn't gain enough popularity. Or does it have something to do with Brian Henson.

 

[RedPiggy]

My theory: He stepped on Rizzo and fainted into a coma, never to be seen again.

I think i read, when it came time to see which characters would continue outside muppets tonight, he was booted cause he didnt really fit on his own and they didnt like him as much as pepe

Reviving an old thread.

IVORY POACHERS.

 

[GonzoLeaper]

Too bad- I always enjoyed Seymour. But he was always paired with Pepe and I guess they just felt that out of the two of them- Pepe could thrive on his own, whereas apparently they didn't think Seymour could.

Seymour did show up in one of the Tales of a Sixth Grade Muppet books in 2012. That same year, Pepe responded to a Twitter question about his old partner:
