Kieran Moore – I think we can all agree that Muppet people are an awesome bunch – watching “Below the Frame” pretty much confirms that. However, even amongst this pantheon of perfect performers we all have favorites. And mine is Richard Hunt. Even though there...
Kieran Moore – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go (or at the least on this very site) so I’m taking a break from my regularly scheduled charts to get festive and celebrate the season. To do this I’m going right back to basics and...
Kieran Moore – Quite often these top ten countdowns end up very Sesame Street-centric, either because the performer is primarily known for that show or simply because Sesame Street has been going for such a long time that there’s a wealth of material available....
Kieran Moore – Sometimes these top 10 countdowns are so easy to produce and other times they are so, so tough. This was certainly one of the more difficult ones… Martin P. Robinson has been a Muppeteer for over 30 years and as such has a huge back catalog...
Kieran Moore – In my last chart for Matt Vogel we counted down the top 10 songs of a Muppeteer who (until recently) was perhaps best known for his work on already established characters. This week we’re highlighting another Muppet performer who has done...
Kieran Moore – For today’s chart we’re going to look at a Muppeteer from the recent group of Muppet performers, who I would consider to be one of the current Muppet performers MVPs. Matt Vogel is not just a great Muppeteer, he’s also a first-class musician,...
Kieran Moore – A top ten list for Steve Whitmire has been requested several times over the last few months and although I knew I’d have to tackle it someday, I must admit I was nervous about putting this list together. Not only is Steve Whitmire one of the...
Kieran Moore – As the old saying goes, “If you want a mountain range go to the Himalayas, if you want a Muppeteer with range call Kevin Clash.” Of course, it’s entirely possible that that’s not an actual old saying and just something I made up to start this...
Kieran Moore – Sometimes one of the best things about writing this article is that I get to make little discoveries. As I’ve said in the past, my knowledge of recent Sesame Street is limited because the show no longer airs here in the UK. So when researching...
Kieran Moore – For my first Top 10 chart of 2015 I figured I should feature one of the big hitters of the Muppet world. I still have plenty to choose from, but deep down I knew that it just had to be Dave Goelz that I shone the spotlight on first. As Dave would...
Kieran Moore – Cor Blimey! Love a duck! This week we’re going to countdown the top 10 songs of my old mucker Louise Gold, The Muppet Show’s only British performer. As a Brit myself I love the fact that The Muppet Show is a UK production and enjoy passing this...
Kieran Moore – The Muppet Mindset is currently celebrating Sesame Street’s 45th Anniversary and I figured what better way to join in the festivities than with a top 10 chart based around not just two of its longest running characters, but also its longest...
Kieran Moore – When it was announced earlier this month that Muppet performer Fran Brill was retiring, the news quickly whisked its way through the fuzzier sections of the World Wide Web and was met with both universal sadness and admiration. The revelation...
