I think Andrew the Reindeer had some kind of Scandanavian accent and he sang a song called, Reindeer on the Beach.

The Anteater that was a guest was actually an aardvark and her name was Arlene.

Rhonda looked a lot like one of the rats from the Muppet Show, and she had a blonde wig.

Rudy the Road Runner sounded a lot like Pepe.

Sean the Rabbit had an Irish accent.

As for what these characters look like, I'll have to get back to you on that. I have all the episodes taped and I can look through all of them and find out.

[Xerus]

P.S. Eve was a huge cockroach that wears a chef's hat an apron and I always thought he was voiced by Steve Whitmire.
Also the roach made his first appearance on the Jim Henson Hour where he had a huge chef fight with the Swedish Chef. And he also made an appearance on Muppet Treasure Island.

[The Count]

You have all 65 episodes of JHAS?!? That's vonderful! Xerus, please either post here or contact me via E-mail through the forum so that we can talk about the character list from JHAS. Got a whole slew of characters I got from one of my sources, and would like to clear up a few doubts with you if that's OK. Would also love for you to contact me, cause then I can share the character list I got and get the list of guests/episodes I found on a PAZZ website.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a great day.

[Klonoa]

It's also cool that you knew about Joe the Armadillo being on Animal Show first as a different character.

There was a wildebeest character in that show that sounded like Joel from MST3K. Of course I know it wasn't Joel, duh, but it was funny how he sounded like him.

--Klonoa

[The Count]

Klonoa, after reading through the posts here...
1 The wildebeest character's name is Frankie, or "Frankie the Wildebeest".
2 Not sure where you inferred that Joe the Armadillo was already hinted at and recognized as an earlier character from JHAS.
3 Don't worry though, my source already provided a batch of character names/descripts, including Dooly the Armadillo and said what you're hinting at anyway.
4 Joe the Armadillo will be added in due time, once my Danish source contacts me with the KSY character list.

Xerus...
If you could, please contact me ASAP so we can go over the character list I got, along with the character/episode list I found online to finalize the JHAS characters and get everyone added to the Muppet Listings.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good day.

4 Joe the Armadillo will be added in due time, once my Danish source contacts me with the KSY character list.

Well all you need is to ask me for it and you will get it :)

[The Count]

Didn't you get my J4 message? Thought I asked you just that. Well, no worries, hope I didn't step on any toes.
Talk to you guys soon.

[muppet_dk]

Didn't you get my J4 message?
No I did not get that.

1 If you could, please confirm that these names are correct.
2 If you could, please say who performed each character and what season they belong to.
3 In the character/episode guide I found online, it mentioned "Crocodile" twice and there were no mentions of alligators. So are Frankie and Sly crocodiles or alligators?
4 The character of "Eve" as performed by Bill Baretta was a mention I found when searching for characters from this show on www.imdb.com. So, is there a character named Eve who isn't Yves St. La Roach? If so, please provide descripts of how these two characters differ from each other.
5 Also, please provide full descripts of the following characters, which I'm still missing.
Andrew the Reindeer.
Rhonda the Rat Reporter.
Rudy the Road Runner.
Sean the Rabbit.
Maybe this seems like a good first batch of questions for now. Please reply ASAP by either posting in the thread or via E-mail. Once we get these squared away, we can get started on the rest of the cast of characters. Hope to hear from you soon, and thanks for all your help!

[Skekayuk]

Bunnie Bear. - Louise Gold (Season II)
Jake the Polar Bear. - Steve Whitmire (Seasons I, II & III)
Maxine the Elephant. - probably Catherine Smee (she certainly performed an Elephant guest in the same episode as Dave the Human Being in Season III)
Rhonda the Rat Reporter. - Louise Gold (Season III)
Stinky the Skunk. - Dave Goelz (Seasons I, II & III)
Tizzy Bee. - Karen Prell (Season I) , Louise Gold (Season II & III)
Yves St. La Roach. - Steve Whitmire (Definitely Season III, probably II, possibly I)

Two other Season III characters you didn't mention werre Clive The Kwiwi (Season III), and Dave the Human Being (Season III). The former may have been performed by Mike Quinn (not absolutley sure - would have to watch it again to check). The latter was probably voiced (though not puppeteered) by Dave Goelz.

Note,
Sometimes when trying to identify who is performing a character, there are all sorts of little clues. For example Is the character being puppeteered Right or Left handed? Its customery to puppeteer Right Handed, but Animal Show puppeteers do happen to be Left-handed (and puppeteer that way), so in Season I if any character is puppeteered Left-handed than Mike Quinn is probably performing it. In Seasons II & III, if its puppeteered left-handed then it is probably being performed by either Mike Quinn or Louise Gold.
Another odd point to mention, is voicing. Until Catherine Smee (who did some performering in Season III of The Animal Show) came along, Louise Gold was the only female puppeteer habitually doing English accents as a matter of course. However, both Catherine and Louise can do cockney accents (Catherine was the cockney-sounding elephant in Season III).

Hope that helps
Emma

[Warrick]

Dave the Human was voiced and puppeteered by Bill Barretta.

[The Count]

Yes, thank you Emma, it does help.

1 Reason why I didn't list "Clive the Kiwi Bird" nor "Dave the Human Being" is cause:
a. My trusted source didn't have them on hand in the list he provided me,
b. This is the first I hear about those characters.
2 If you could, please provide full descripts of what both your mentioned characters look like.
3 Another reason why I started asking these questions is cause I'm blind and I don't have any JHAS episodes in my collection. Any and all informative help with these characters will be appreciated.
4 Was Maxine the "Indian Elephant" featured on the same episode as Dave the Human Being? Or was that Ringo?
Well, hope to hear from all of you soon, and have a good day.

[Xerus]

Hi again the Count. :)

To answer your first question, I am a guy.

And as for animal descriptions. Please give me a few days to look through all my videos and I'll e-mail you a list of all the guests and their descriptions. But I can answer some of the questions you posted right now though.


1 If you could, please confirm that these names are correct.

Yes, I think you got most of the names correct. Except that Ollie is a tapir, not an anteater. I also kind of wished that Ollie stuck around so she could be a guest on the show and talk about tapirs. And maybe do a song too. Oh well.

>2 If you could, please say who performed each character and what season they belong to.

I mostly recognize when Bill Baretta, Karen Prell, and Louis Gold are doing characters while Dave and Steve are busy doing Jake and Stinky most of the time. But the others I'm not sure of since I hardly heard them do other voices.

3 In the character/episode guide I found online, it mentioned "Crocodile" twice and there were no mentions of alligators. So are Frankie and Sly crocodiles or alligators?

They were both crocodiles. It really bothered me how they kept bringing back the same animals they already interviewed.

4 The character of "Eve" as performed by Bill Baretta was a mention I found when searching for characters from this show on www.imdb.com. So, is there a character named Eve who isn't Yves St. La Roach? If so, please provide descripts of how these two characters differ from each other.

The other time I've seen another cockroach chef was on the Jim Henson Hour and he was voiced by Steve. He and the Swedish Chef had a couple of chef fights on that series.

5 Also, please provide full descripts of the following characters, which I'm still missing.
Andrew the Reindeer.
Rhonda the Rat Reporter.
Rudy the Road Runner.
Sean the Rabbit.

Andrew, I can't remember yet. But I do remember he had a Scandinavian accent.
Rhonda was a Muppet Show rat who had long blonde hair
Rudy, I'll have to get back to you on that, but he had a Spanish accent though.
And I'll have to get back to you on Sean the Rabbit, but I remember he had an Irish accent.

And I think Ringo and Maxine were the same Muppet elephant they used. Only they called Maxine an Indian elephant.

And Dave was a Muppet human who wore glasses, and a checkered shirt. But I forgot his hair color though. I'll have to get back to you on that.

Clive the Kiwi was actually the Limburg Muppet from the Jim Henson Hour, only without clothes.

And I do believe Katherine Smee voiced Penelope the Tortoise for Louise Gold as Rhonda interviewed her that time.

That's all I can tell you for now.

[Xerus]

P.S. Maxine the Indian Elephant and Dave the Human appeared on the same show and they did a song together.

Ringo the Elephant and Eugene the Hunting Dog were in another episode.

Also there was an episode where Sam the Eagle guest starred and he became shocked and appalled when he saw a film about eagles living in the wild. For he obviously was a civilized eagle.

[The Count]

Thank you very much Xerus, I'll await your E-mail with the complete character/descript list then.
1 Eve, I'll forget about this one since it seems like it's a mistake. The other cockroach chef is named Jacques the Roach from JHH, and is the same puppet/character as Yves St. La Roach.
2 If it helps, Andrew the Reindeer is on the same episode from Season 3 as Sasha the Siberian Tiger.
3 Sam the Eagle was included in the list I got from my trusted source, but he's already been listed anyway.
Thanks again, and I'll make a few changes based on your suggestions. That, and wait for your E-mail. Take your time, just so long as it's complete and you do your best.
Hope this helps and have a good night.

[Skekayuk]

If Maxine The Indian Elephant was in the sketch with Dave The Human Being (who incidentally while performed by Bill Barretta, is supposed to be based-on Dave Goelz), then Maxine was performed and voiced by Katherine Smee.

[Xerus]

Hi, The Count. :)

It's kind of hard to watch all 65 episodes of the Animal Show in just a few days. So if it's okay, I'd like to give you the character descriptions a few posts at a time. Here's what I found out about the first 5 episodes I reviewed.

Stinky the Skunk is a black and white skunk voiced by Dave Goelz.

Jake the Polar Bear is a white bear with black eyes, glasses, and a red bow tie voiced by Steve Whitmire.

Armstrong the Chicken Hawk is a brown and white chested hawk with a black beak and voiced by Bill Baretta.

Ollie the Tapir is a gray tapir with moveable hands and voiced by Karen Prell.

Tizzy the Bee is a black and yellow bee that’s a computer generated muppet and voiced by Karen Prell in the first season, then Louise Gold in the second.

Yves St. La Roach is a big brown roach with a white chef’s hat and apron and he's voiced by either Steve Whitmire or Bill Baretta. I'm not sure anymore.

Bunny Bear is a small brown bear with black eyes with a flowered necklace voiced by Louise Gold.

Rhonda the Rat is a brown Muppet Show rat with blonde hair and voiced by Louise Gold.

Dullard the Aardvark is a brown aardvark who started out as Arlene the Aardvark and I’m guessing Bill Baretta voiced him.

Chuck the Lion is a big light brown lion with a dark brown mane with a royal British accent. (puppeteer unknown).

Randal the Zebra is a black and white striped zebra with a voice that sounds like Bobo the Bear. Probably by Bill Baretta.

Sly the Crocodile was a long green croc who sounded like Sylvester Stallone. I'm guessing Bill Baretta.

Dooley the Armadillo was a golden bumpy armadillo who had a nervous voice like Squiggy. (puppeteer unkown.

Victor the Rattlesnake was a yellow snake with purple linings around his mouth. (puppeteer unknown.)

Rhonda the Raccoon was a gray and black raccoon voiced by Karen Prell.

Charolette the Penguin was a black and white penguin voiced by Karen Prell.

Clive the Kiwi was originally the Limburg Muppet from the Jim Henson Hour. And he was brown with a long beak and moveable hands. Which is odd because kiwi's don't have wings. (puppeteer unknown.)

That's all I can tell you for now. But I'll try to post up the next list of descriptions in a few days. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at culpit70@yahoo.com

Have a nice day. :)

[Zondra]

They reused Lindbergh? :cry:
It always makes me sad when they do that.

I remember the thing with Sam the Eagle...

But why don't I remember seeing this show? What channel was it on?

[Xerus]

But why don't I remember seeing this show? What channel was it on?

In 1994, it started out on FOX for the first two years. Then a year later, it started airing on the Animal Planet channel. But now it's gone. :( But I was lucky to tape them all before that happened. :)

[Klonoa]

Don't forget they reused Dooley the Armadillo as Joe in Swamp Years. I bet they reused a lot of those animal Muppets since there were so many.

--Klonoa

[The Count]

Yes they did. According to my source, Chauncey the Turtle and Penelope the Yellow-Footed Tortoise were reused as Turtle #1 and #2 respectively in KSY.
Hope this helps and have a good day.

[The Count]

Thanks Xerus! Not sure if you got my E-mail, but I do thank you indeed. Muppet Listings 12 will probably be posted on Saturday, since I'll be leaving on vacation for a week on Sunday. If your additions aren't there, don't worry cause they'll show up in V13.

BTW: It's better you send the descripts in batches like your first one, easier for you and for me to read through. Thanks and have a good day.

BTW2: Is the name of the penguin correctly spelled "Charolette" or "Charlotte"?
Hope to hear from you soon.

[Beauregard]

P.S. Eve was a huge cockroach that wears a chef's hat an apron and I always thought he was voiced by Steve Whitmire.
Also the roach made his first appearance on the Jim Henson Hour where he had a huge chef fight with the Swedish Chef. And he also made an appearance on Muppet Treasure Island.
Really? Where in MTI? I don't remember a cockroach in that. (Unless it's the guy that's singing, and I always thought that was an Ant)

[The Count]

Yes Bo, Jacques the Roach's there in the group o'pirates in MTI. If'n you don't believe me, watch the opening song and the song sung by Tim Curry very carefully. And if'n you still don't believe me, search out Gonzo's MTI Custom figure threads, there's one there of Jacques as a pirate from the film.
Hope this helps and have a good day.

[Beauregard]

Ah, yes, but I havn't seen a picture of Jaques, so I don't know which he is. Is it the one that says, "Throw your partner over the side," in Cabin Fever?

[muppet_dk]

Ah, yes, but I havn't seen a picture of Jaques, so I don't know which he is. Is it the one that says, "Throw your partner over the side," in Cabin Fever?Yes thats him.He is also the one that gonzo throws starfish after at the big battle in the end

[Xerus]

Thanks Xerus! Not sure if you got my E-mail, but I do thank you indeed. Muppet Listings 12 will probably be posted on Saturday, since I'll be leaving on vacation for a week on Sunday. If your additions aren't there, don't worry cause they'll show up in V13.

I'm glad to help you out The Count. :) Yes, it is easier to send them in batches, so I can watch the shows a few at a time and study them better so I can get the descriptions and voices down better.

Actually, I don't know how the Penguin's name is really spelled. I guess it could be either Charolette or Charlotte. They didn't give out her spelling on the show.

I'll go check my e-mail box to see if your e-mail has arrived.

I hope you have a good vacation too. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Hi Xerus, nice to hear from you again. There's no need to look for the E-mail I sent your way, the message's practically there in the post above already.

As for the penguin's name... I see, or rather, well you get the joke.
So then, my question would be: did they pronounce her name as "Charlotte" on the show, or did they pronounce it as "Charolette"? Just asking cause I thought there might've been a typo when you wrote the character's name and I want to double-check before adding her to the list.
Hope to hear back from you with JHAS Descripts 2 soon.
Oh, and have a great night.

Hi again, The Count. :)

I watched the episode again and I don't think I heard a long O when they introduced her, and it sounded like /shar-let/ with a short E. That's all I can tell you.

Goodnight and enjoy your vacation. :)

Xerus.

[The Count]

OK then pal. I'll take it at face value and add her as "Charlette the Penguin" during the next round of additions.
Have a great time, and hope to hear again from you soon.

PS: You can call me Count if it's easier for you to keep track.

[Xerus]

Hi Count. Hope you had a nice vacation. :)

I just got another batch of Animal Show descriptions for you and here they are.

Casey the Kangaroo was a brown kangaroo with a black mouth. And she had an Aussie accent and was voiced by Karen Prell.

Leapovich the Frog was a green frog with big eyes and he had a Russian accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Harry the Rhino was a golden rhino with bumps on his skin. (Puppeteer unknown)

Lenny the Gorilla was a brown furry gorilla with a black face and chest and a deep voice. (I'm guessing Bill Baretta.)

Frankie the Wildebeast was a gray wildebeast with dark gray markings on his face, a white beard and white fur on his back. (Puppeteer unknown.) I believe he was also featured in the classic Muppet Show sketch, I'm a Gnu.

Chauncey the Turtle was a green turtle with a brown shell and brow spots on his head. And he sounded like an old English man. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Plunk the Sea Otter was a brown otter with a black nose and he had a teenage English accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Guffrey the Vulture had a pink head with yellow eyes, black beak, white back, brown chest, and black wings. And he had a beatnik like voice, and I'm guessing he was done by Bill Baretta because he sounded like Zippity Zap from Muppet's Tonight.

And that's all for now. I hope this helps you.

[The Count]

Yes, it does help. Thanks for the added descripts, hope you have a good day.
Will await the next batch of JHAS characters.

BTW: Thanks, I had a good time on the cruise, but it's great to be back home.

[Xerus]

Oh, your welcome Count. I'm glad you had a good time. I'm going on vacation this week too, but I'll be back with more character summaries soon.

By the way, here are some more....

Hillary the Owl was a gray owl with a yellow beak and was voiced by Karen Prell.

Octavio the Octopus was an orange octopus with yellow eyes and he was stuffed in a gray and brown rusted can and was carried in by Ollie. He had an Italian accent and I'm guessing he was voiced by Bill Baretta.

Jared the Tiger was a huge orange, white, and black tiger with a pleasant smile and he had an Indian accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Nippy the Tiger Beetle was a small green beetle with a yellow mouth and he was brought in on a leafy rock by Ollie. He had an Elvis like voice and sang a really cool song. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Alexis the Giraffe was a tall yellow giraffe with brown spots and sounded like Red Fraggle. Karen Prell.

Lamont the Sloth was a white furry sloth with bits of black, gray, and yellow in his fur and had a sleepy sounding voice. He sounded a lot like Armstrong. Probably Bill Baretta.

And that's all for now. Have a good evening Count. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

Leapovitch and Harry were performed by Mike Quinn. Lenny the Gorilla from Season 1 of Animal Show was performed by Bill Baretta. Frankie the Wildebeest from Season 1 of Animal Show was performed by Mak Wilson. Chauncey and Plunk were performed by Mike Quinn. Gufrey was performed by Bill Baretta. Jared the Tiger was performed by Mak Wilson. Nippy was performed by Bill Baretta.

Thank you Deanmo for your info. It's hard to tell from Mak Wilson's and Mike Quinn's voices sometimes. Now I know. :) And I like how Mike Quinn got to sing neat songs on there like the Frog Song and the Turtle Song.

[The Count]

Hi Xerus, wanted to ask you something. Is Victor the Rattlesnake the character who appeared in an episode in Season 1 of the show, highlighting the rattlesnake and the skunk? Or is he the character featured in an episode from Season 3 of the show, highlighted by the lone appearance of the rattlesnake?
And along those same lines... were there two distinctly different rattlesnake characters on JHAS? What were their names and how do they differ from each other?
Thanks, and hope to hear from you before you leave on vacation.
BTW: Hope you have a good and safe vacation.

Hi Count. :)

Yes, they had 2 shows where a rattlesnake was a guest. The first one was about the rattlesnake and the skunk. The rattlesnake was named Victor and he had a guy's hissing voice and he was yellow with purple linings on his mouth.

The second had another rattlesnake who was the single guest. It was the same rattlesnake Muppet, only she was named Kiki and she had a cute Spanish like voice.

And now I'm off for my vacation. Talk to you soon. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

P.S. Here are some more descriptions before I leave.

Arlene the Aardvark was a light brown aardvark with an ejecting tongue. She later became Dullard the camera aardvark in season 3.

Chas the Chameleon was a green bumpy chameleon who also had an ejecting tongue and sounded a lot like Armstrong. Probably Bill Baretta.

Flora the Koala was a gray koala with an Australian accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Lydia the Ostrich was a gray ostrich with gray and white feathers and a squeaky voice by Karen Prell.

Fluke the Dolphin was a gray dolphin who was brought in a tank. And he had a British teenage voice by Mike Quinn.

Leah the Fruit Bat was a brown furry bat with a Southern accent by Karen Prell.

See you later for now. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

Hey Count. :)

I'm back from my trip and here's some more Animal Show descriptions for you. Thank you for your patience. :)

Bubba the Walrus was a brown walrus with long tusks and had a British teenage accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Bernice the Wart Hog was a gray wart hog with warts, gray hair on her back, a wagging tail and had a scratchy voice by Karen Prell.

Heddy the Hedgehog was a brown round hedgehog and had a deep voice by Karen Prell.

Morton the Beaver was a brown chubby beaver with a Canadian accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Rudy the Spider was a yellow spider with green stripes on his back, green and orange striped legs, 4 eyes and had a Spanish voice that sounded like Pepe. (Bill Baretta.)

Gabby the Gila Monster was a pink and black spotted gila monster with a hillbilly accent. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Cool the Kangaroo Rat was a white rat with tan spots. And he had a jazzy sounding voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

[Xerus]

Hey Count. :)

Here are some more Animal Show descriptions.

Johnny the Wolf was white and gray with some yellow in his fur. And he had a southern accent. I'm guessing Bill Baretta.

Boscoe the Baboon was a brown baboon with a black face and red chest. (puppeteer unknown.)

Achilies the Shark was a gray shark who was brought in a tank. And he had either a British or Australian accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Slick the Sea lion was a brown furry seal lion with light brown flippers and he had a surfer's accent. Maybe Bill Baretta.

Ringo the Elephant was a huge gray elephant who sounded like Ringo Starr. (puppeteer unknown.) He was also too big to fit inside that only his front was showing.

Eugene the Hunting Dog was a dark brown dog with pointed ears and a white tail and he had a voice that sounded like Bobo the Bear. Bill Baretta.

[Xerus]

Mak Wilson usually performed Bosko, Ringo, and Archilles.

Oh okay. Thanks a lot. :) I liked the Baboon song Boscoe sang. I was wondering if Mak did any songs on The Animal Show.

[The Count]

Is the name of the armadillo correctly spelled "Dooly" or "Dooley"?
2 From Episode 7 of JHAS.
Is the name of the zebra correctly spelled "Randal" or "Randall"?
3 From Episode 20 of JHAS.
Is the name of the kangaroo correctly spelled "Casey" or "Kasey"?
4 From Episode 10 of JHAS.
Is the name of the shark correctly spelled "Archilles", "Achilies", or "Achilles"?
5 From episode 8 of JHAS.
Is the skunk featured in this episode Stinky the Skunk or is it another character?
If it's another character, please provide its name and description as best you can.
6 From Episode 17 of JHAS.
Is the polar bear featured in this episode Jake the Polar Bear or is it another character?
If it's another character, please provide its name and description as best you can.

Hey Count. It's good to be back. :)

Sorry, but I don't really know any of the correct name spellings. I just only heard their names. But they didn't give out their spellings.

But I can answer your last 2 questions though. Stinky was the guest skunk on the show and he even sang a song. And Jake was the guest polar bear and he got to sing a song too.

And Stinky co-guested with Victor the Rattlesnake, since Rattlesnakes and Skunks are both dangerous when threatened.

And Jake co-guested with Rhonda the Raccoon. But I don't really know what raccoons and polar bears have in common though. Perhaps they're animals that are always looking for food.

[The Count]

Hi Xerus, glad to hear from you again. Thanks for the info. Here's what I'm gonna do, as a compromise.
It'll stay as "Dooly" the Armadillo, cause that spelling makes most sense, as well as "Randall" the Zebra and "Archilles" the Shark, which I got from Muppet_dk; and I'll change it to "Casey" the Kangaroo from your descript posts.
Another question I have is... you submitted a descript for a character named "Cool the Kangaroo Rat". Is this the same character the episode guide lists as "Desert Rat" from Episode 23 from Season 1, as a co-guest with Gabby the Gila Monster?
Just want to know to correct that entry. Thanks, and hope to hear from you again. And I'm looking forward to the next batch of descripts.

[The Count]

Hi Xerus, did some updating and I got a few quick questions from the characters in episodes 22 and 23.
From the episode guide I got, it lists the guests for Episode 22 as "Brown Bear/Hedgehog".
Should Vernon be listed as "Vernon the Grizzly Bear" or as "Vernon the Brown Bear"?
Also, the same guide lists the characters from Episode 23 as "Gila Monster/Desert Rat".
Should Cool be listed as "Cool the Kangaroo Rat" or as "Cool the Desert Rat"?
Hope to hear back from you rully soon. And there are only four episodes left to finish off Season 1 of this show.
Have a great day.

Hi Count. :)

To answer your questions. Vernon was called a Grizzly Bear.

And Cool was both a Kangaroo Rat and a Desert Rat. Some people call it a desert rat because it lives in the desert while others call it a kangaroo rat because it hops like a kangaroo. At first Jake said they were gonna have a desert rat on the show, and when Cool appeared, Jake called him Cool the Kangaroo Rat.

Yes, I got 4 more first season episodes to watch and I'll give you the info on my next post. Then I got the 3rd and 4th seasons to check out where Bunny Bear replaces Ollie.

Peace to you. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks for the info Xerus.
Vernon will be added as a Grizzly Bear, and Cool will go in as a Kangaroo Rat.
The funny thing is that I call the type of animal Cool is a jerboah, like Jerboah Jump from the old Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons.
BTW: There was a 4th season? Thought there were only 65 episodes across three seasons. Oh well, hope to hear from you again soon and have a good night.

I remember those neat Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons from my youth. :) And I remember Jerboah Jump too. Actually, the differnce between the two rats are kangaroo rats live in North America and jerboahs live in Africa and Asia.

Sorry, I guess there was only a third season. I keep thinking those last 26 episodes were seperate seasons for some reason. So there are just 3 seasons. The first having 26, the second 13 on Fox, then cancelled the third year, and the third season coming back the fourth year on Animal Planet with 26 new episodes. Sorry about the mistake. :o

[Xerus]

Oh yes, here are the next descriptions.

Swifty the Cheetah was a yellow and white cheetah with black spots and had a wild British accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Tommy the Thompson's Gazelle was brown and white with black lines on his face and ears and long black and brown striped horns. And had a soft voice that was probably voiced by Bill Baretta.

Rocky the Big Horn Sheep was a dark brown sheep with brown horns, a white mouth and a white butt and had a baaing voice by Bill Baretta.

Robert the Red Deer was a brown and white deer with white antlers, a black nose, and had a Scottish accent by Mike Quinn.

Humphrey the Badger was a gray badger with a white stripe on his face and had a Humphrey Bogart like voice. Probably by Bill Baretta.

Sean the Rabbit was a brown rabbit with a white mustache and had an Irish accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Blanche the Manatee was a big brown manatee with green algae on her back and had a southern accent by Karen Prell. And she had to be brought in by a tank.

Billy Bob the Lemur was a gray aye-aye lemur with a bushy tail, white face, huge ears, yellow eyes, and had a hillbilly voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

Next time, we'll go into the second season. :)

[The Count]

Yeah! Bring it on!
Thanks Xerus, though a few questions.
1 Is a "Thompson's Gazelle" a particular species of gazelle? Just want to get it right like the two from last time.
2 What's this about Billy Bob being a gray "aye-aye" lemur? What does that mean?
Well, thanks again and rest peacefully. The second season will be there when you feel up to another batch.
Have a good sleep and a good night.

[Xerus]

I did some reading and I found out it was called a Thomson's Gazelle. Sorry about the misspelling. And they live in East Africa.

And Billy Bob explained that there are many different kinds of lemurs in Madagascar. Like the aye-aye, which Billy Bob was, and there are ring-tailed lemurs that have long black and gray striped tails.

You have a good night too. :sleep:

Xerus

[Xerus]

Hi Count. :)

We're now into the second season of Animal Show Descriptions.

Trudy the Chimpanzee was a black chimp with a white face and was voiced by Louise Gold.

Laslo the Hyena was a dark brown hyena with a black mouth and black spots and had a scratchy voice. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Inidra the Whale was a huge gray whale with a white belly and she had a deep British voice by Louise Gold and was in a huge see through tank.

Nemets the Ant was a tiny brown ant with a black bottom and had a drill seargant like voice by Bill Baretta. And he was so tiny, Stinky and Jake had to see him with a magnifying glass.

Natasha the Tarantula was brown and furry and had a Russian accent by Louise Gold. And was brought in by Bunny Bear.

Morley the Mole was a gray mole with a pink nose and I think he was voiced by a guest puppeteer named Andrew Spooner.

[Xerus]

Well, actually, Lazlo the Hyena is performed by Bill Baretta.

Okay, thanx again Deanmo 19. :) Say, do you also know who voiced Chuck the Lion or Dooley the Armadillo?

[Xerus]

And here are some more descriptions for you Count. :)

Zac the Arctic Fox was a white fox with a Jack Nicholson like voice. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Doreen the Camel was a yellow 2 hump camel with a scratchy voice by Louise Gold.

Monty the Elephant Seal was a huge dark gray seal with a deep British voice like an elephant. (puppeteer unknown.)

Margaret the Stork was a white stork with a long orange beak and had a British voice. I'm guessing Dave Goelz.

Wingo the Shoebill was a white and gray bird with a yellow beak with black splotches and had a Romanian accent. I'm guessing Steve Whitmire.

I'm thinking Dave and Steve did Margaret and Wingo because in this special episode, Bunny and Armstrong got to be the main hosts white Stinky and Jake took over their duties.

[The Count]

Hi Xerus. Here's what I got from my sources.
Dooly the Armadillo was performed by Bill Baretta.
Chuck the Lion was performed by Mike Quinn, when that puppet/character appeared in Season 1 of JHAS. However, it was performed/voiced by Frank Oz when it appeared in the Billy Crystal MT episode.
Hope this helps, and have a good night, and thanks for the descripts.
Looking forward to the next batch.

[Xerus]

Mike Quinn voiced Chuck and Dooly.

Cool! Thanks again Deanmo19. :)

[Xerus]

Hey Count. :)

Yep, I remember Chuck the Lion appearing on Muppet's Tonight. And it was funny hearing Frank Oz voice that lion. He sounded a lot like Cookie Monster. :)

Anyway, here are some more descriptions.

Custer the Bison had a dark brown shaggy face and a light brown body and had a Western voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

Monica the Musk Ox was a dark brown shaggy ox with a white fluffy back and a white mustache and sounded like a tough old lady. Louise Gold.

Winnie the Wasp was a small yellow and black wasp and had an Irish accent by Louise Gold and was also Tizzy's cousin.

Milton the Blue Footed Booby had a gray head, blue beak and feet, yellow eyes, white chest, and brown and black wings and had an Edd Wynn like voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

That's all for now. I'll be back with more soon. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

Bill Baretta performed Custer and John Eccleston performed Milton.

Thanks once again Deanmo19. :) Do you also know who did Gabby the Gila Monster and Kool the Kangaroo Rat?

[Xerus]

Hey Count. Here are some more descriptions before I go off to bed.

Jackie the Orangutan was an orange orangutan with a white face and had a deep calm voice. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Lulu the Potto was a light brown potto with a white face and had an African accent by Louise Gold.

Phoenica the Hippo was a gray hippo with pink around her eyes and mouth and had a Queen Elizabeth like voice by Louise Gold.

Travis the African Buffalo was a big black buffalo with gray horns, a gray mouth, and red eyes, and a deep grunting voice by Bill Barretta. Probably the scariest looking animal they ever had on the show.

And that's it for tonight. You have a good night. :sleep:

Xerus

[Xerus]

Hey again Count. :) Here are the last descriptions for season 2.

Nico the Marine Iguana was a dark green iguana with a little bit of brown in his scales and little green spikes on his back and he had a British accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Rudy the Road Runner was a tan feathered bird with a white chest, brown head feathers and a gray beak and had a Spanish accent that sounded a lot like Pepe. Bill Barretta.

Dkembe the Gemsbok was white with brown around his eyes and mouth and had long gray horns and had an African accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Ralph the Moose was a dark gray moose with yellow antlers and had a deep north sounding voice. (puppeteer unknown.) It could be Bill Barretta.

Perry the Wild Horse was a light brown horse with a white face, black mouth, a short black mane and sounded a little like John Wayne. (puppeteer unknown.)

Alicia the Volcano Rabbit was a small brown chubby rabbit with short ears and had a squeaky Spanish accent by Louise Gold.

And that's it for season 2. Next time, we'll move onto season 3. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks for the descripts Xerus. Looking forward to starting up Season 3.

[The Count]

BTW: Before I forget, I have a question for either Xerus or Deanmo19, whoever finds it and replies to it first.
The gemsbok who appeared in Episode 34 of JHAS, is his name correctly spelled "Dkembe" or is it "Dikembe"?
Please reply ASAP and LMK so that it can be correctly placed in the listings. Hope to hear from you guys soon, and have a good day.

[The Count]

Urgh, what about them? They've already been listed as "Margaret the Stork" and "Wingo the Shoebill". Xerus believes that they were voiced/performed by Steve Whitmire and Dave Goelz respectively because Armstrong the Chickenhawk and some other character took over the hosting duties for this episode.
Oh yeah, could you please answer my question from above about the spelling of the gemsbok name? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Count. :)

I'm guessing that Dave and Steve did these Muppets. Because Margaret sounds a lot like Bunsen Honeydew. And Wingo sounds a lot like Steve's deep sounding rock singer voice, but with a Romanian accent included.

And I don't know how the Gemsbok's name is spelled. But I did some looking up on that name, and I found out it was spelled D'kembe. I hope that helps.

[The Count]

Yes, thanks Xerus. Guess I'll keep him listed as "Dkembe the Gemsbok."
Looking forward to the next batch of character descripts ffrom Season 3 of JHAS. Hope you have a good night.

[Xerus]

Thank you Count. And here's the start of the season 3 descriptions.

Jasper the Jaguar was an orange jaguar with a white belly and covered with spots and had a Bing Crosby like voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

Penelope the Yellow Foot Tortoise was a yellow tortoise with brown spots and had a British old lady's voice. Katherine Smee.

Maxine the Indian Elephant was probably Ringo the Elephant. Modified by giving the Muppet shorter ears so it'll look like an Indian elephant. And had a deep Brithish voice by Katherine Smee.

Dave the Human Being had brown hair, glasses, and a green checkered shirt voiced by Bill Barretta. They say he was modeled after Dave Goelz and they showed films about Dave's home and his family.

Sam the Eagle was none other than that light blue eagle with black eyebrows who is obsessed with culture. And he was voiced by Frank Oz. I'm glad Frank took some time from his schedule to perform Sam in this cool show. He even sang a song too. :)

And I'll be back with more descriptions soon. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks pal, looking forward to getting them.
Quick question though... was it Penelope the "Yellow-Footed Tortoise" or was it Penelope the "Fresh-Water Terrapin" as listed in the episode guide online?
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good night.

[Xerus]

Your welcome. :)

And the episode guide had made a mistake. Jake announced her as Penelope the Yellow Foot Tortoise. But for some reason, Penelope had brought a film about terrapins instead of tortoises. I guess that kind of confused whoever wrote that guide.

Goodnight to you Count. :sleep:

Xerus

[Xerus]

Jasper was performed by John Eccleston.

Thanks once again Deanmo19. :)

Yeah, I thought John was voicing Jasper because John Eccleston seems to do characters with deep sounding voices.

[Xerus]

Hey Count, here are some more! :)

Julius the Spoonbill was a white spoonbill with an orange spoon-shaped beak and he had a quacking sounding voice by Bill Barretta.

Yorick the Salmon was a green and yellow salmon with red and black spots and had a Russian accent. I'm guessing John Eccleston.

Cody the Colobus Monkey was a black and white fuzzy monkey with a black face and had a wild sounding British accent. (puppeteer unknown.) Maybe John Eccleston?

Quincy the Flying Squirrel was a small round brown and white squirrel with a voice that sounds like Armstrong, only lighter. (I'm guessing Bill Barretta.)

Have a good weekend. :)

[Xerus]

Thanks again Deanmo 19. :)

And here are some more descriptions.

Kiki the Rattlensake was the same as Victor only she had a girl's voice by Lousie Gold.

Hortense the Hornbill had a yellow head with white around her eyes, a yellow beak with black stripes and a black feathered body and had a proper British accent by Louise Gold.

Winston the Woodpecker was a black and white bird with a black beak with yellow between his eyes and red on his back head. And he had a deep southern voice by John Eccleston.

Sandy the Giant Otter was a brown otter with a white front and had a light teenage girl's voice by Katherine Smee.

Melanie the Mink was a dark brown mink with white between her eyes and had a deep sounding valley girl voice. Probably by John Eccleston.

Ernie the Mongoose was a dark yellow mongoose with a deep cultural sounding voice by John Eccleston. And he tried to take over the entire show by pushing aside Stinky and Jake to talk to the next guest himself which was...

Kyle the Secretary Bird who had white feathers and black quil feathers on the back of his head, orange eye lining, a silver beak, and black wings and a tail. And he had a Jimmy Durante voice by either Dave Goelz or Bill Barretta. I'm not sure which one.

Gilda the Gorilla was just Lenny the Gorilla reused, only she was voiced by Louise Gold.

Malcolm the Lion was also Chuck the Lion reused, and he sounded like Bobo the Bear. (Bill Barretta.)

Corneilous the Crab was a green crab with orange pinchers and brown and green striped legs. And he sounded like Jackie Mason. (Bill Barretta.)

Alicia the Snail was a brown snail with black dots for eyes and had a yellow shell with brown spots. And had a slow sounding voice by Louise Gold.

Sasha the Siberian Tiger was just Jarret the Tiger reused. Only she had a squeaky Russian accent by Katherine Smee.

Andrew the Reindeer was a brown reindeer with a black nose, white horns and a white chest and had a Scandivanian accent by John Eccleston.

Timothy the Owl was just Hillary the Owl reused. Only he had a Eurpoean accent. (puppeteer unknown.)

Mavis the Frog was just Leapovich reused. Only she had a loud fun loving voice by Louise Gold.

And that's it for tonight. See you soon. :)

[The Count]

Wow! Thanks Xerus, this is just the type of explosion I knew you had in you and was waiting to get out. Gotta check just how much of Season 3 is still left, guess I shouldn't have started recalibrating the listing's numbering.

Anyway, couple of questions.
1 The frog from Episode 42, is its name correctly spelled/pronounced as "Mavis" or "Namis"?
2 The crab from Episode 41, is its name correctly spelled/pronounced as "Cornelious" or "Cornelius"?
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a great Labor Day holiday tomorrow.

Hey Count. Happy Labor Day to you too. :)

I had a lot of time to watch some Animal Show episodes this weekend. :)

And I believe the frog's name was pronounced /ma-vis/.

And I believe the pronounciation is /kor-neel-yus/. But I have no idea how it's spelled. Sorry. They don't give out name spellings on the show.

Anyway, have a nice day Count. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks Xerus. The reason I asked about the frog from Season 3 is cause my trusted source said it was "Namis", but I'll go with "Mavis" as you've says it as I think it to be correctly is when the crab's name is spelled "Cornelius" so I'll got with that spelling.
Well, half Season 3 down, another half left to go.
Have a great holiday and looking forward to the next batch of descripts.indicated. And the way my computer

[Xerus]

Hey Count. :)

Here are some more.

Paul the Pelican was a white pelican with a big yellow beak and had a funny sounding voice. (puppeteer unknown.)

Julie the Flamingo was a dark pink bird with a white beak that's black at the tips and yellow eyes. And she had a proper English voice by Louise Gold.

Warren the Wart Hog was just Bernice reusued. Only he had a guy's voice. (Puppeteer unknown.)

Allana the Baboon was just Boscoe reused. Only she had a Spanish voice by Louise Gold.

Stanley the Mouse was a small brown mouse with a white face and orange stomach and had a cute British accent. I'm guessing John Eccleston since Bill Barretta did an owl who wanted to eat Stanley.

Molly the Albatros was a white bird with a yellow beak and she had a southern accent by Katherine Smee.

Harvey the Hummingbird was a small green and yellow bird with a red chin, black beak, and flapping wings and was perched on yellow flowers in a pot brought in by Bunny. And had a squeaky sounding voice. (Puppeteer unknown.)

And that's it for tonight. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks Xerus. You say that Bill Baretta performed an owl who wanted to eat Stanley the Mouse? Might that have been Timothy from Episode 42? Or was it a completely different character? If so, include him in your next batch of descripts.
Don't know why, but I kinda expected the albatross to be named Ulysses. Oh well, just a few more episodes left to see whether there's a U-named and/or an X-named character to see if we get a complete alphabet in this zoo.
Have a great night, and rest up.

[The Count]

Quick follow-up question.
Is the name of the babboon from Episode 45: "Allana" as you believe, "Alana" as others might think, or "Awanna" as submitted by my source?
Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon.

[Xerus]

I don't know how it was spelled. But I believe her name was pronounced /uh-laah-naah/.

And the owl that chased Stanley was the same Muppet they used for Hillary and Timothy. But I believe this was another owl, since this owl didn't have a European accent like Timothy had.

Also there was a snake and a fox that was after Stanley as well. The snake was the same one used for Victor and Kiki. And this snake was voiced by Katehrine Smee.

And the fox was Virginia the Red Fox reused and was voiced by Louise Gold, but with a different voice from Virginia's British accent.

And I'm not sure if there was ever any animals that had U or X names.

Now I'm gonna give you some more descriptions in my next post. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

And here are more descriptions.

Vic the Monitor Lizard was a blue scaled lizard with a light pink belly and had a tough sounding voice by Louise Gold.

Frankie the Crocodile was Sly the Crocodile reused and had a New York accented voice by Bill Barretta.

Andrew the Whale was Inidra the Whale reused only he had a deep sounding voice, I'm guessing John Eccleston, and he was in the same tank Inidra was in. Only it was leaky.

Hector the Spider Monkey was a black furry monkey with a yellow face and ears and he had a teenage Spanish accented voice. I'm guessing John Eccleston.

Mel the Lemur was Billy Bob reused. Only he had a rock star sounding voice. I'm guessing Bill Barretta.

Barry the Honey Bee was a yellow and black hand puppet bee with a black face and had a squeaky voice like Harvey the Hummingbird. (Puppeteer unknown.) And he had to be broadcast live in a field of flowers.

Priscilla the Honey Possum was a very tiny gray furry possum with a white stomach and had a squeaky Austrailian accent. I'm guessing Katherine Smee.

Just 5 more shows to watch and I'll be done. :)

See ya' Count. :)

Xerus

[The Count]

Thanks once again pal. Will go with Alana, since that seems to make the most sense to me regarding the spelling, and due to your access to how the name was pronounced from the episode itself.
Virginia the Fox eh? Hmm, must be the one from the episode guest starring "Coyote/Fox".
Well, guess I'll just leave these accessory characters who chased after Stanley out of the listings for now. Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good night.

[Xerus]

Here you go Count. My final Animal Show descriptions. :)

Max the Wasp was Winnie reused. Only he sounded like Armstrong. (Bill Barretta.)

Morris the Ant was Nemets reused. Only he had a deep cultural sounding voice. (John Eccleston.)

Bart the Coyote had tan fur with a white stomach and had a wild west accent. I'm guessing Bill Barretta.

Virginia the Red Fox was a red/brown fox with a white mouth and stomach and had a British accent by Louise Gold. And the fox Muppet was reused for the Stanley the Mouse episode.

Gallahad the Grasshopper Mouse was a gold/brown mouse with a white stomach and had a tough Humphrey Bogart like voice by Bill Barretta.

Stella the Stoat was a yellow stoat with a white stomach and had a hissing British sounding voice and liked to hiss vicously a lot. I'm guessing Katherine Smee.

Larry the Fish was a gray angler fish with a glowing antenna, big lips filled with teeth. (Puppeteer unknown.) And he was in the same huge tank the two whale guests were in.

Pearl the Pika was a small light brown pika with a dark brown back, a white stomach and had a squeaky Southern accented voice. I think Katherine Smee did her.

Charlie the Chamois was a brown and white chamois with a surfer's voice. I'm thinking Bill Barretta.

And I believe that's all the animals I described on the show. I hope this helps you out a lot. :)

Sincerely,
Xerus

[The Count]

Thumbs Up!!!

Thank you Xerus, you've been most helpful. Will finish cleaning up this batch and will send them to my source so he can have them in his website also. BTW: A stoat is basically an ermine in its summer clothes, or a summertime weasel with a black tipped tail.

[Xerus]

Your welcome Count. I was happy to help you out. :) To answer your question. A stoat is a cousin to the weasel. And when either of these animals turn white in the winter, they're given the name ermine. And only stoats have black tipped tales, but weasels don't.

It was nice sharing descriptions with you. :)

Xerus

[Xerus]

I guess you're forgetting Zack the Arctic Fox, Doreen the Camel, Lulu the Potto, and Jackie the Orangutan. (all from season two)

I have Zack's and Doreen's descrpitions on page 4 of this post and Jackie's and Lulu's on page 5.

[The Count]

Yes, every character from JHAS has been dutifully described by Xerus. And you've helped out too Deanmo with the names of some of the performers. Have a great weekend, what's left of it anyway, and see you guys on the boards.

[The Count]

Hi Xerus, wanted to let you know that ML 13.0's been posted and I gave you a credit as a trusty source there. However, MuppetDude, another one of my sources brought up the fact that there are some JHAS characters from Rhonda Rat's interviews missing. He mentioned the following specifically: The Badger, Lawrence the Orangutan, and Pavlov the Pug. Was wondering if you could go back to the Season 3 episodes and find all the characters interviewed by Rhonda Rat, and post descripts of them here like the others you posted.
Would appreciate the help in rounding out the JHAS cast, and hope to hear from you soon.
Have a good night.

Hi Count. :)

I'm sorry I didn't give you the Rhonda the Rat report animals. They were just basically the same animal guests only with different voices. But when I get time, I'll go back and give you the list. It might be a while though.

And thank you for giving me credit too. :)

Xerus

Thanks Xerus. Question time again. Since I added "The Badger" to the listings, was wondering if you could help with the following. Based on your list, there are seven unknown non-named characters to add. Here's what I got.
1 Red Fish.
2 Yellow Fish.
3 Rainbow-Colored Snake.
4 Black and white cat.
5 Brown, black and white anteater.
6 Pink pig.
7 Yellow shaggy dog.
How do you think it would be best to add these characters? Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good weekend.

I'm sorry. But I have no idea what the names of these animals were. They didn't give them on the show. I guess you can just call some of them unnamed interview characters and the pig an ending appearance character. That's all I can tell you.

Hi All,

Just to clarify who did Yves St. La Roach. In season one it was me, Mak Wilson and I believe John took it over after I left the show to work on Lost in Space.

Thank you very much for taking the time to come here and clarify that. Hope you have a great time here on the forums.

Hello Mak.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. :) Wow, you're the one who did Yves? That's so cool! When I first saw Yves, I wondered if you were doing his voice from the beginning. And I also remember you as Farkas Fafner from Ghost of Fafner Hall.

Welcome to the Muppet Central Forum and I hope you find this place fun and enjoyable. :)

From Xerus. Just an average Muppet fan.

Hey Count.

I forgot to mention that there were two other characters on the Animal Show as well.

There was Stinky's Aunt Sniffy who was a black and white skunk covered with white bandages for she just finished a painful stunt. (puppeteer unknown.)

And Yves's girfriend Yvette who was a brown roach with red hair and wore a white and blue pearl necklace, and a rainbow colored scarf. And she had a French accent voiced by Louise Gold.

Sorry I didn't metion these characters earlier.

There seems to have been a bit of Thread-revival going on recently, so I thought I'd revive this thread.

I was just wondering, does anyone know who puppeteered Stinky's Aunt Sniffy, and which episode(s) she appeared in?
