Talk:Boppity Through the Years

How necessary is this page? Through The Years are really only meant for main characters, and the puppet didn't go through any huge changes. He wasn't even an official character with a solid performer. God, people are going insane over Frackles anymore. Scooter 00:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * While I'm no Frackle fanatic, and I agree it's a bit of an oddity (and one I wouldn't have created myself), at least there's actual images and text, as compared to the awful "Betty Lou Through the Years" which lingered for a good while. Mahna Mahna isn't a main character either, though there I think the overall design changes and especially the odd parallel development on Sesame Street under a different name and his general longevity as a minor but memorable character with a distinct personality and schtick justify it. Boppity is none of that, true, but no real harm is being done, unless we get a George the Janitor Through the Years page or something. In general, there seems to be some growing concerns over how to handle the character evolution pages and what belongs or doesn't. What started out as a fun and really interesting project is leading to little quarrels over what changes are important or how many pictures are too many. If this keep's happening, maybe this should be discussed on current events, and some general guidelines to approaching the category laid down. --Andrew, Aleal 00:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * How about Beautiful Day Monster Over the Years, Gloat Over the Years, Floyd Pepper Over the Years, Janice Over the Years, Sam the Eagle Over the Years, Zoot Over the Years, Dr. Julius Strangepork Over the Years, Snake Frackle Over the Years, Herry Monster Over the Years, Guy Smiley Over the Years, Gladys the Cow Over the Years, Elmo Over the Years, Telly Monster Over the Years, Gorgon Heap Over the Years, Sweetums Over the Years, or Timmy Monster Over the Years? --Dean, Deanmo19 00:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ack! Too many redlinks. And Dean, please tell me you're kidding about Snake Frackle Through the Years. --Andrew, Aleal 00:40, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * In The Muppet Show's Season 5, Snake Frackle was remade. --Dean, Deanmo19 00:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but is there really more than two images that could be used for that page? Maybe Scooter has a point. Though if you have enough text and background to support a page, I guess it could be done. But what would be the purpose, really? It's not as if Snake Frackle is still around and still going through periodic changes, like Miss Piggy. --Andrew, Aleal 00:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I thought that the rebuilt Snake Frackle was a completely different character, called dark green Hunchback Frackle. Anyway, I think that Beautiful Day Monster, Sam the Eagle, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Zoot, Elmo, Telly Monster, Herry Monster, and maybe Timmy Monster and Guy Smiley could use "through the years" pages. --Minor muppetz 01:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I think if you have pictures and text for it, then I'm okay with any Through the Years page that anybody wants to make. That Betty Lou page was bad because it only had one poser picture, and hardly any text. I think this Boppity page is pretty nice. There's nice pictures, which show off the redesigned puppets. I think Shane and Dean did a really good job on the page. If they want to do this kind of work for Sam the Eagle or Herry Monster, I'd like to see it.


 * Every time I think, no, that's too much, the wiki proves me wrong. It's big enough to handle all of our weird enthusiasms. -- Danny Toughpigs 20:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
