    I always liked the two old guys who heckled everything. I also liked Big Bird.

      I had a professor in college who looked like Beaker. He had those crazy big eyes. He taught numerical analysis and lived a few houses down from me. In seven years I never saw the upstairs lights on. He would drive to the end of the driveway to get the mail. His driveway was maybe 2 car lengths long. I think he's hiding bodies in the basement.

        From Wikipedia: Both made an appearance in "Marvel Team-Up #74". In this issue Spider-man teams up with the cast of Saturday Night Live to battle the Silver Samurai. Statler & Waldorf appear in typical style as hecklers on a balcony. Hmm...wonder if the hubby has that in his collection!

            I have the tune from the Muppet show in my head. I just thought I'd share that with you in all in the hope of infecting you, too.

            thank you, you just got rid of "Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody" from rolling around in my head. It is Thursday, and the radio shouldn't play that on a weekday.... maybe that will help you be rid of yours.... Artist: Sam Cooke Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance to a cat named Frankenstein Here's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody I got some money 'cause I just got paid How I wish I had some chick to talk to I'm in an awful way

                Big Bird is Sesame St, not the Muppets. I loved the Swedish Chef, and Animal. Bork, bork, bork.

                    Technically they are all muppets. But some were Muppet Show only. Big Bird was on a couple times. I think with Harry Belefonte.

                          Yeah, I knew he 'guested' once or twice, and I knew they were made by the same folks, but I've never heard the Sesame Street puppets refered to as muppets ( although I know the name is a combination of puppet and marionette, and therefore, you're technically right )

                              Watched this growing up and it amazes me now that I am an adult, how adult the show actually was. The extras on the first season show and early pilot which was definately not child friendly. As christian has said Manamana!! Aaron

                                    They were often referred to as Muppets, both in the hollywood and credit side. The differences were that Sesame Street muppets had full-time employment. ;)

                                        I have the tune from the Muppet show in my head. I just thought I'd share that with you in all in the hope of infecting you, too.

                                        cheers, Chris Maunder

                                        Count me as infected. Arrrgh! Once that thing gets in my head, it's there for hours.
