Or 'Mama Cass' as she's often been referred to, of The Mamas & the Papas fame. For those who don't recognize the group name, they sang such folk rock classics as "Monday, Monday", "California Dreamin'", and "I Saw Her Again Last Night". Cass went on to a solo career on the stage and variety...

I was lost in thought and was thinking about a (presumably non-existent) ad for TMS that would go something like "the stars are all talking about it" and then cut to a montage of clips with guest stars saying "The Muppet Show". I'm trying to log them all, just for fun. The ones I remember so...

I love Kristin Chenoweth and was blown away when I discovered she's on "Sesame Street". Could someone tell me a bit about her character Ms. Noodle? Pleeeeease? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Matt hasn't posted in over a year, so as I made this list for him, I don't think he'll mind my posting it. 1) Harry Connick Jr., 7/31/02 2) Elvis Costello, 7/31/02 3) They Might Be Giants, 8/1/02 4) Alan Jackson, 8/1/02 5) Rockapella, 8/7/02 6) Sheryl Crow, 8/7/02 7) Aaron...

Was watching these on "Monster Hits" and realized they use the same three backup monsters and each uses a (presumably) new monster as well. Were these sketches taped at the same time? If so, anyone know when they were taped? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

My best friend has never liked the Muppets, probably because I love them enough for two, but recently I've gotten him to watch some "Fraggle Rock" and he loves Pa Gorg- cracks him up like crazy. He thought Pa Gorg looked familiar, and then realized that he was thinking of David Crosby. Their...

As some of you know, former "Fraggle Rock" Muppeteer Terry Angus- who played the Storyteller Fraggle, Brio the Minstrel, and Morris Fraggle- is a member of this forum, and I've been corresponding with him over the past few weeks on the topic of setting up a thread where we Muppet freaks can ask...

I dismissed the show when it first started appearing, but now I know I just wasn't paying attention, because once I did, I found the show to be brilliant in its straightforward, ironic, low-keyed and razor-sharp comedy. It has IMO the best and most tightly knit writing on television. Also of...

Yeah, I hate to mention the newfangled thing too, but I figured someone had to sooner or later. I for one am on it. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Princeton approached me with the idea of collaborating, and when he said Sid Caesar, Season Two, I jumped at the chance. We were brainstorming ideas and I'm only sorry that I didn't put the finishing touches on this one sooner. Sid is a legend in comedy, one of the first genuine TV stars, and...

Just in time for Christmas, a Halloween episode! For those unfamiliar with Lorre, he was a legendary horror movie actor on par with the likes of Vincent Price. Before becoming a regular fixture of the horror genre, he was known as an oddball sort of character actor, featuring in such classics...

There are a handful of Sesame Street clips that I'm having a hard time finding. When I don't know titles, I'll describe them in detail. -A purple soprano (Richard Hunt) sings F-AN, eventually spelling fan, to which a male Whatnot (Frank Oz) calls "Bring in the fan!" (which then blows her wig...

At the beginning of the behind-the-scenes special "Down at Fraggle Rock", during the filming of "The Rock Goes On" from the episode "The Honk of Honks", there is a prominently seen background puppeteer performing one of the Inkspots (the little bulgy-eyed background singer characters, also seen...

In her interview on MC, Karen said that Steve Whitmire performed Red in the episode "Red's Club" while she was out with I believe an injured hand. But does anyone else notice how the only character whose voice is out of synch with his lip movements is Boober? Was Dave performing Wembley while...

... Or, "Occasion of the Body Switchers". This was an idea I always wanted to do, sort of an expansion of what they did in "Pigs in Space" on the Harry Belafonte episode (I think I came up with my idea before I saw that). Jim Croce, for those who don't recognize the name, was a recording...

I just got through watching the first 12 episodes in production (not airing) order. For those who don't know, the shows were taped in this order: "The Thirty-Minute Work Week" "Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk" "You Can't Do That Without a Hat" "The Preachification of Convincing John" "Let the...

I thought it might be fun to make a list of the foods found in the Fraggle and Gorg world. Here's what I can recall: -Radishes (radish bars, Doozer sticks, radish dip, radish toast, etc.) -Rutabagas -Tomatoes -Mustard -cabbage (the skunk variety) -greaseberries -stinkberries -peaches...

#2 Wembley and the Gorgs- great example of how well this show can work thematically #9 The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles- IMO this is about when the show really started to take shape (taping-wise) #10 Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk- amusing episode #14 The Challenge- hilarious, wonderful...

For those of you who missed this on page 12 of the "Celebrating Jerry Juhl" thread: Is anyone going? I think someone from MC should go, and that MC as a whole should prepare something to give to Susan Juhl to show our appreciation and convey our affection for Jerry's work. Anyone have any...

From "Tales of the Tinkerdee": Taminella: "Hafen, yafen, oolioob Zorkel norkel, Scooby Doo. Kremel krip, kremel kram, Pik, with a g'nickt'g'nock, shazam!" TMS: Kermit: "Skiers on crutches and chickens on springs!" Gonzo: (rushes up, singing) "These are a few of my favorite things!"...
