I was watching The Muppets Take Manhatten today, and thought that I saw a man sleeping in one of the lockers (under Fozzie) at the end of the "Can't Take No" number. I've previously heard of a cut scene involving other people sleeping in the lockers, but I've never seen this before. Am I just imagining it?

Haha. Totally. But still, that's something new for my Muppet movie trivia! Also noticed Statler and Waldorf in a box watching Manhattan Melodies for the first time. Adding to my general belief that MM is a code for The Muppet Show, and that the movie is semi-biographical for their real cannon. *awaits eager discussion regarding Muppet cannon to follow*

The only one who messes up that theory is Mr. "Here's Your 3D Glasses" Scooter, who shows up in episode 6 asking to be hired as a go-fer. :wink:

I've noticed it for over a year (I had wondered if that was one of the performers... Looks a bit like Steve Whitmire to me, though I'd read that one of the actors who played a small locker person showed up to the screening unaware he was cut from the film).

Canon, aye... I think it starts from the Muppet Movie and then once they sign the Standard Rich & Famous Contract they do The Muppet Show. The Muppets then do a movie ("The Great Muppet Caper") and then do a Broadway show together and it's depicted in a movie ("The Muppets Take Manhattan"), then they do a few more TV shows (MT, JHH), movies (MCC, MTI, MFS, "The Muppets") and TV specials.

So sometime between GMC and MTM they decided to go to college? Hmm, yeah I suppose it's possible.

Well, I feel like MTM is a loose depiction of something they might've done in real life. Then again, this my weird little brain's idea...
