Yes I will admit Lew Zealand and his boomerang fish, not to mention his funny red costume with the wierd neck-ring is funny as hell and under used. Personally I would like to see more of Sam the American Eagle, has anyone heard his rant about nudity on the Muppet Show 2 Album? It's hysterical! I also like the guy who is always blowing things up. And Janis in Dr. Teeth's band. And don't you think that Grover has gotten the royal shaft thanks to that dim, whiny, red-bitch Elmo? Remember how funny "Super Grover" was? Remember, he was
Announcer- "Stronger than Lightning, Faster than Steel, and Smarter than a Speeding Bullet, it's Super Grover!"
Grover-And I am cute too.
MAN, that was hysterical! So were how he always crash-landed and screwed up, like when he got stuck in the tree and was scared to come down and the kitten he had gone up to save, now safely in his owner's arms, called to him, "Here, Grover, Grover Grover!" Maybe he doesn't count as much because he is on Sesame Street, but still, he's underused. O.K., I think I've embarrassed myself enough. Thanks for reading. Mr.Combat
: You're absolutely right. Lew Zealand and his boomerang fish. Hands down. He was all over my script, and all his wackiness remained intact throughout Henson's edits.
: Whether or not they make the damn thing, that's a different story. A long, sad story.
