I'm sorry to hear about the music industry muscling itself like it has been on the internet, and glad that furries came out in support for the show.
Still, when I first saw Steve Plunkett show up on the con scene doing his puppet acts, I thought, "Wow, hey, this is a whole new interesting direction for furry fandom to get into." And ever since then it's been stuck in a rut: synching to music, and not much else.
Is there any incentive for furry puppeteers to move into more non-musical, narrative or comedic show formats? There's already a lot of creative ad-libbing, interviews, and the people under the puppets have certainly demonstrated wit and creativity. I realize non-musical stuff is a lot more difficult to create and prepare, but still I think there's a lot of untapped potential there. And no royalties!
I mean, the Muppet Show wasn't just about the music...
