Where's Clifford?

[ryhoyarbie]

With the second Studio DC special that aired earlier tonight, where in the world is Clifford? Is Kevin Clash just so caught up in doing Elmo now? I don't get it.

I want me some more Clifford!

My question is: What's Clifford doing in The Classic Muppets section? XD No offense to Clifford or any of his Muppets Tonight counterparts, but that show is so sadly forgotten by many of the fanbase--even on here--that it's hard to recall that it aired 10 or so years ago. ^_^

Well I see Clifford as Classic because he was on the Jim Henson Hour. That's where I know him best. I wasn't a big Muppets Tonight person.

 

[AAO]

I actually saw that he will be in the second STUDIO DC: Almost Live as well as Scooter!

The second DC has already aired, and no Clifford or Rowlf.

Clifford was officially the last of the newer muppets to be grouped with the classic muppets before Jim Henson passed away. Clifford was present in the Wat Disney special with The Electric Mayhem and also in the remembering Jim Henson special.

And on the Jim Henson Hour.

I think I'd consider Clifford classic, but if there were some sort of transitional "middle" category, I'd put him there instead.

I thought Clifford was created specifically for MT, I didn't know he was on the Henson Hour. So that's why it would be hard for me to think of him as "classic" - he is cool, though

Yup, he was in several Jim Henson Hour episodes, including the episode with Ten Danson and the behind the scenes episode "Secrets of the Muppets" which Jim hosted.
