Two questions.

1) I heard Miss Piggy was on Sesame Street. True?
b) What are the names of the guys on the balcony?

Not to be rude but a pretty good sized muppet fan would know which is which of two of the main cast of characters that are in every episode of the muppet and every muppet movie.
Anways The tall skinny one is Stalter and the short fat one is Waldorf.
Both named after hotels.

You know you can be a big fan of something without being a fanatic, right? I'm a gigantic fan of Star Wars, but I don't know all the names of the background characters in the movies, their life story, and what relevance they have (if any) to the universe as a whole.

Does that make me any less of a fan?

In this day and age, yes.

Unless you know the name of Han solo's third cousin removed on his sister's side....
YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!

No But Statler And Waldorf are hardly background characters they usually have more lines than any other character.
And they even had there own internet show not to long ago.

So I'd hardly call them obscure background characters.

I'll add one last thing. I also don't like how everyone confuses Jay Ward's Bullwinkle cartoons with Total Television (Underdog, Commander McBragg, Tennisee Tuxedo) cartoons.

I can understand why, though. They both were animated by the same Mexican animation studio (Gamma). They also share a distributing producer, Peter Piech (where the name Capt. Peter Peachfuzz comes from).

And now to make matters even more confusing, now both companies are owned (at least in part on Jay Ward properties) by Classic Media now.
