    TMS Script - Lily Tomlin!

    Starting from a desire to incorporate a Muppet musical number that never made it to "The Muppet Show" into one of my fan fictions, continuing with writing another "Muppet Show" outline with a female guest star since too many of mine have male guest stars, and concluding with my writing full...

    Just got custom Gorgon Heap!

    I've had this username ever since I joined in the early 00's. Never dreamed I would have a figure of the actual character, but thrilled to say I now do!

    A fanfic entry in the Playhouse Video series "Jim Henson's Muppet Video" -- a sequel to "Rock Music with the Muppets"! Rock Classics with the Muppets (“Sweet Tooth Jam” plays over the speakers as the camera pans over the walls of the studio.) “Hey, slide on by whilst I lay a little welcome on...

    SPECIAL GUEST STAR: MICHAEL PALIN STYLE: MID SEASON THREE (circa Liberace, Marisa Berenson episodes) COLD OPENING: Scooter knocks and enters. Scooter: "Michael Palin! 30 seconds to curtain!" Michael: "Quite right, very good. Umm... 30 seconds until the curtain does what, exactly?" Scooter...

    TMS outline - Chevy Chase!

    From his appearances with them on SNL (one of more upbeat later ones written by him) and his cameo in "Follow That Bird", it would be reasonable to say that Mr. Chase likes the Muppets. Submitted for your approval: "It's The Muppet Show, with our very special guest star, Chevy Chase...

    Closing Theme "Funky Chimes" copyright help

    Hi all, I am arranging a "Sesame Street" medley for a local a cappella group and plan to include a riff off of the the "Funky Chimes" reprise of the "Sesame Street" theme: I wasn't sure if this was legally considered to be just a variation of the "Sesame Street Theme" or if it carried its...

    TMS Script - Cat Stevens! (by Gorgon Heap & kathy26)

    I originally started off working on two other outlines, and only got back into this one because I was debating which one to use a certain song in. I started coming up with whole scenes and when I was only a few Kermit intros, backstage scenes and S&W comments away from a whole script, I decided...

    FR Script - "Red, Your Roving Reporter"

    So I finished this "Fraggle Rock" script 7 years ago, almost to the day, but for some reason I never posted it. Not sure why. The impetus was talking to FR puppeteer Terry Angus. He was describing his primary background character, Morris Fraggle, and how he'd envisioned said character as the...

    TMS outline - Frankie Valli! (by Gorgon Heap & kathy26)

    Had this one on the back burner for a while when kathy26 reached out to me about doing one as a surprise for cjd874. So I dusted it off, we bounced some ideas around, and here's the finished product! SPECIAL GUEST STAR: FRANKIE VALLI STYLE: SEASON THREE (circa Jean Stapleton, Alice Cooper)...

    TMS outline - Carly Simon!

    In interviews, Carly Simon has said that when she was a little girl, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would answer "a spy". Doing the theme for a James Bond movie ("The Spy Who Loved Me", 1977) was the next best thing. So I found what I thought was a neat way to...

    TMS Script - George Harrison!

    I held this one off from posting as an outline because of how close I was to a full script. According to this site's interview with Jerry Nelson, George Harrison was interested in doing The Muppet Show, but the producers were too preoccupied trying to woo Paul McCartney onto the show. Here's...

    The Muppet Show 4 (Album)

    See my previous post, "The Muppet Show 3 (Album)": what if the tradition of doing a Muppet Show album ANNUALLY had continued after Season 2? I think "The Muppet Show 4" would've looked something like this: SIDE ONE "Opening Theme" "Take Ten Terrific Girls" - Statler & Waldorf "I Got Rhythm" -...

    The Muppet Show 3 (Album)

    So after putting out "The Muppet Show" album and "The Muppet Show 2", the tradition kind of dried up, with only "The Muppet Show Music Album" following, featuring songs from all four seasons up to that time. So what if the tradition of one album a year HAD continued? Here's my "fanfic"...

    Emmy nomination-snubbed TMS guest stars

    Hey everyone, Sorry I've been away for a while. There was a thread I wanted to post a while back, during Emmy season, after something occurred to me. Presumably, because there's no way Emmy voters can watch every episode of every show on the air, the powers that be determine episodes to...

    I'm back. SPECIAL GUEST STAR: NEIL DIAMOND STYLE: SEASON FOUR (circa Dudley Moore) COLD OPENING: Scooter knocks and enters. Scooter: "Neil Diamond! 30 seconds to curtain, Mr. Diamond!" Neil: "Thank you, Scooter." (Scooter exits. Fozzie and Gonzo enter.) Gonzo: "Welcome to The...

    Muppet Show title font for table placecards

    Possibly the wrong forum to ask, but my fiancee and I are planning our wedding reception, and she had the idea of incorporating TMS by having the placecards for the tables be Kermit's opening logo with the number in the TMS font. Does anyone know if that font can be found in a word processing...

    Most Attractive TMS Guest Stars

    Many of us watched the show during our, ahem, formative years. Post who sparked your curiosity either as a young person or as an adult. And keep it clean. Mine: 1) Bernadette Peters (my first celebrity crush) 2) Brooke Shields (my 2nd celebrity crush) 3) Cheryl Ladd (has grown on me over the...

    New Muppet movie 'female lead' casting development

    Surprised no one else has posted the scoop yet. Though the size of the role isn't mentioned, she is mentioned as being courted to 'star alongside' Jason Segel as the film's human protagonist. The 'she' in question is... Amy Adams! Hope this comes to be! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Sesame Street celebrity wish list

    There's probably a pre-existing thread for this already out there, but it's late and I don't want to spend the time looking for it. I'll start the ball rolling with my one name: AMY ADAMS! 'Nuff said. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
