Also: It's pretty bad form arguing in front of clients, isn't it? How long can these guys keep that studio open if they keep kicking out or breaking up with all the musicians who record there?

I didn't realize she was really going guest-star until I saw the credits for this episode. Was it just a creative decision, so she wouldn't be flying home from Cornell all the time?

Slightly More Boring Fact: There's a "Very long wait" for It's Pat on Netflix. But does it mean the demand is that high, or is there only one DVD copy of It's Pat in the world?

It's mind-bending enough that somebody thought it would be a good idea to theatrically release a Gumby movie in the mid-90s!

This season really is fascinating, even in its butchered form on Netflix. It really makes me wonder if the sketches that were cut were even worse. And man, Charles Rocket sure is doing a Bill Murray impression… I'm pretty sure there's even a moment where he calls somebody a knucklehead.

1994-95 was also a terrible season. Janeane Garofalo and Chris Elliot misused, Michael McKean trying valiantly to replace Phil Hartman as the utility guy in consistently terrible sketches… It was awful in a completely different way than 80-81.

He means Shearer. Harry Shearer had been on the previous season, which was his only season (until he returned alongside Guest, Crystal and Short), so he would be the guy whose name nobody could remember, whereas Dan Aykroyd was on the show's big stars.

Yeah, I think it's because he wasn't as prominent in the movies, which is the primary reference point for most people's Muppet memories. On The Muppet Show, he had several great solo moments onstage and backstage… He was probably the second-most-prominent member of the band, after Animal.

When Jerry Nelson stepped away from the Disney-owned Muppet franchise a few years ago, he hand-picked his successor. He's a puppeteer named Matt Vogel who's been doing Muppet and Sesame Street stuff since the late 90s, and he played Floyd and Crazy Harry in the new movie last year. I'm sure some people will say…

I believe he was often referred to as "Fat Blue" in the Sesame Street studio, because he's made from the generic fat blue "Anything Muppet" template. But there was at least one sketch where Grover called him by name — a singing telegram bit in which Grover informs Mr. Johnson that somebody found his lost hat in…

Oh wow, that's right. If you'd asked me, I would have guessed at least one of them was Richard Hunt or Marty Robinson or somebody. But he played all three of them, and they all sound different. Amazing.
