Wording

The_Muppets_(TV_series)#Details says "The writer-producer shot some test footage before co-creating CBS' The Big Bang Theory that Disney ultimately passed on." i suggest rephrasing as "Before co-creating CBS' The Big Bang Theory, the writer-producer shot some Muppets test footage that Disney ultimately passed on" (unless the sentence is SUPPOSED to mean Disney passed on The Big Bang Theory, in which case a different rephrasing is needed). Of course, additional rephrasing might be necessary, since prepositions are terrible things to end sentences with. Maybe "which Disney ultimately chose not to use" or "declined to pursue"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.201.124 (talk) 23:42, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Linz

Has he actually performed on the show and/or been credited? I know Walter has not appeared, but I don't know if he's been a puppeteer for another Muppet. (Our casting section doesn't say so, but that isn't a good indication.) The only indication that he was in the show I think was from Prady at the Comic-Con panel, if I remember correctly. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:58, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Linz has been credited as part of the main cast in every episode so far. As for Walter, he has yet to show up in any of the episodes, although Linz continues to say on social media that the character will show up eventually. And yes, Prady and Whitmire (technically, Kermit) confirmed Walter's presence too. Performance-wise, I've read in off-hand interviews that Linz has been doubling for the other performers in shots with multiple/numerous characters, especially if those characters are traditionally performed by the same puppeteer, such as Piggy and Fozzie. I know that last bit dabbles in original research, but that's the best we have that's out there. Hopefully, the reported mid-season "re-tooling" will shed some more light on Walter's role. ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 02:51, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the insight Jedi. I vaguely remembered him being credited. That was my main concern. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:59, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

puppet show - production technology

This article skips over way too many basics. It assumes that the reader already is familiar with the subject! It hardly mentions at all that this is a puppet show. It says nothing about the production technology -- how much post-production computerized magic editing is involved? And what is a "performer" -- voice? puppeteer? puppet-constructor? all of the above? Please add such foundational explanatory material to the article.-71.174.180.154 (talk) 02:30, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One Million Moms

Hey all, re: the criticism section, do we normally care what fringe groups like the American Family Association/One Million Moms say about anything? Seems to bump against WP:UNDUE. I recall similar discussions at Mad Max Fury Road when fringe men's rights groups got pissy about the film's feminist themes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:43, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think One Million Moms maybe since the show did reference the criticism in an episode. Though, again, a third party RS should be used linking the two, not a Wikia site. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:51, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
