SPECIAL GUEST STAR: DOLLY PARTON STYLE: MID-SEASON FIVE (circa Glenda Jackson, Senor Wences) COLD OPENING: Pops informs Dolly that Kermit said to give her the royal treatment. Pops: “After all, you guest stars really class up this show! Without you, I doubt if anyone’d show up.” Dolly...

I had a fan theory rolling around in my head. I thought it odd that, on "Muppets Tonight", they made Zelda Rose mother to Dr. Phil Van Neuter despite the fact that she bears such a strong resemblance to Beaker. That got me to thinking, if she has one son who's a scientist, but she herself...

You mean Birdo?

Even though I didn't love "The Muppets" series, as a fanfic writer, I appreciated the notion of what goes on in characters' lives outside of the show. So with that said, what's the deal with the Snowths? Given that the original sketch was with 2 little girl Anything Muppets, then presumably in...

SPECIAL GUEST STAR: LESLEY GORE STYLE: MID-SEASON ONE (circa Peter Ustinov, Bruce Forsyth) OPENING THEME: FOZZIE’S OPENING JOKE: “If a vegetarian eats vegetables, then what does a humanitarian eat?” LESLEY GORE: in the panel discussion set with Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, Scooter, Animal...

Question is in the title.

SPECIAL GUEST STAR: JACK LEMMON STYLE: SEASON FOUR (circa Jonathan Winters, Star Wars) COLD OPENING: Scooter knocks and enters. Scooter: “Jack Lemmon! 15 seconds to curtain, Mr. Lemmon!” Jack Lemmon: “Thank you, Scooter!” Jack Grapefruit (O.S.): “Now, wait just a minute!” (Jack Grapefruit...

One half of the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel (with TMS season 5 guest star Paul Simon) who, at the time, was forging a new career for himself as a solo artist and film actor. Submitted for your approval: "It's The Muppet Show, with our very special guest star, Art Garfunkel!" SPECIAL...

Think the 3 respective companies are testing the waters to see if the fans and/or the general public want to see more crossovers? The video from the Jim Henson Company only has 160K views, that's hardly going viral, but the fan excitement is there. What do you suppose we'd see out of...

Valerie Bertinelli (FULL SCRIPT), 12/31/23 (co-written with kathy26) Cher, 6/29/24 (co-written with kathy26) Bonnie Franklin (and Grover from "Sesame Street"), 6/29/24 Peter Cushing, 10/10/24 (co-written with kathy26)

Added Taminella to the Goodnights. Thinking about it later, @kathy26 was right about including her.

Grand Moff Tarkin in "Star Wars", Sherlock Holmes, Van Helsing, Doctor Who -- need I say more? It's a Halloween episode! SPECIAL GUEST STAR: PETER CUSHING STYLE: MID-SEASON FOUR (circa Anne Murray, Jonathan Winters) COLD OPENING: M.A.M.M.A., the Koozebanian Phoob, the bird-like and...

I'm shocked not to have seen a discussion thread about this, but in honor of Jim Henson's birthday, Henson, Disney, and the Children's Television Workshop worked it out between them to have characters owned by each company -- Muppets, Fraggles, Sesame Street -- appear together for the first time...

The Chris Langham episode is entertaining. Langham has an offbeat sensibility -- he was the show's only British writer and had collaborated with Monty Python, and that's kind of the vibe that comes through -- and his scenes are weird and silly in a good, Muppet-y way. It's sad and dismaying...
