  Spoilers? Nah.  B-)  This has been known for months.

appreciate the full details, printed below)

  Yep. In addition to the third season of TINY TOON ADVENTURES, 1992-1993
will feature THE PLUCKY DUCK SHOW, which airs once a week on Saturday mornings.
The latest news that we here at the TTAUEC have had is that the first episode
will air September 19, 1992.

  The good news is that the premiere episode will be a new Bat-Duck story.
The _bad_ news is that the rest of TPDS will be re-runs. These will be Plucky-
oriented episodes from the existing TINY TOONS library. There's the
possibility that third-season Plucky-oriented episodes will air on TPDS,
but nothing's definite at this point.

>Plucky Duck gets his own Spin Off Show. :-)

  I think Babs should, myself.  B-)

  I've got a Furrball and a Babs, myself. There are two sets of dolls: One
from Playskool, and another from Applause. IMO, the Applause ones (though more
diverse) suck in comparison to the Playskool ones.

  Actually, I've been looking for MONTHS (literally!) for another 8"-tall
Playskool Babs doll. Seems like my local toy stores are flat out (Buster,
Hamton, and Furrballs are in abundance), and aren't getting any more. Does
your local Hy-Vee have them? If so, drop me a line...  B-)

No actually, I don't think Cookie Monster's the only one with the

She munched up a cookie ala Cookie Monster and had all the pieces coming

Sigh.  I love people that want to enjoy the Muppet stuff (or any other stuff
for that matter) but don't want to help feed the people that create it.
That combined with telling us (twice) that they can't be bothered to
read this group (Not even temporarily?) really makes _me_ want to

I hope you're wrong about this, and I wonder why you think so.  
  Ernie's voice is nearly identical to Kermit's.  So if there are new
Kermit skits, why not new Ernie and Bert skits?

   I'd like to remind people though, that Sesame Street already dealt
seriously and responsibly with the death of Mr. Hooper.  They are
probably the first children's show to deal with a human's and his

But then, Rolf the dog does a duet with Kermit in The Muppet Movie
("I Hope that Somethin' Better Comes Along").  Can we assume that
he just did both at the same time for that song?  Musta been rather

Well, the voices couldn't have been done live, because during the
song there is at least one point when the both sing at the same
time...

In response to Asutralia's request for the video of the search for Jim Henson...

I rememeber watching the program. It was wonderful to many of Henson's creations
on one program. Where else could you see big bird and waldorf together?

However, whoever they got to do Kermit's voice at the end, to me at least, did
a very poor job. So bad as to be laughable. Did anyone else who saw the special
feel this way. They built up this anticipation for Kermit's arrival, and when he
did, his voice didn't go with the body. I could do a better Kermit than that.

True, they may have done this on purpose to prove that no one could replace Jim,
and, that is an admirable gesture. But, how do they expect all the kids who
watched the program to understand that?

Does anyone else have a logical explanation? Also, please forgive any big 
mistakes, as I am a "newbie" to this posting stuff.

Someone asked if the Count and other Muppets were done in London.
To tell which Muppets were in New York and which were done in London,
you only have to get a list of who did which characters.  When Henson was in
London, working on the t.v. series and Dark Crystal, Frank Oz and all the 
regulars from the Muppet Show stayed in London.  Therefore, any characters they
did for Sesame Street had to be taped and sent over.  This included the Count, 
Prairie Dawn, the anything muppets, Kermit, Grover, Earnie and Bert.  Children 
from the street scenes who were also seen with Kermit and Grover to do the 
alphabet or numbers, were flown to London for the short shots.  It was easier 
to fly a child to London than to have Henson or Oz take the time out of their 
schedule to go to New York.

There are two versions of this song (at least).

One which Groucho sung in the film, "A Day At The Circus," and one which
he sang on a radio program (I no longer remember which one). 

I liked the Radio version better. It was dirtier, and had a few notable
changes.

>She can give you a view of the world in tattoo,
Is "When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world,"

Some lines which I can't remember where they go:

...When she sits, she sits on Hitler.

...Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon,
Or Godiva but with her pajammas on.


Also there was a refrain which comes between each verse which is very
important to the propper singing of the song.

La Dee Da, La Dee Da
La Dee Da, La Dee Da

Was this song originally sung in the burlesque?

NO, Ernie is not dead!  This is a rumor being spread around--it's on the order
of "worms in McDonald's Hamburgers"; "Proctor and Gamble is run by Satanists"
and "Paul McCartney is Dead"...
  However, no new Ernie episodes will be made.
