Where did Ray Charles' version of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and Helen Reddy's song "Wonder Child" come from? I've heard them both on MC Radio but don't know what productions they were in. They're solos, too, so I don't know if there were Muppets in the scenes or not. My only guess for...

James Coburn, who guest starred on TMS early in Season Five and had a cameo in The Muppet Movie, died yesterday. James Coburn: 1928-2002 James Coburn, the tough-guy actor known for his roles in The Magnificent Seven and Our Man Flint, died Monday at age 74 of a heart attack. Coburn was...

Has anyone seen or heard of the special "I Love the Muppets"? I seem to recall some mention of it a while back, if I'm thinking of the right program- an edition of a UK series. I was a bit surprised to see who were the celebs who took part in it- James Coburn, Leo Sayer, Debbie Harry...

TravellingMatt and Gorgon Heap present TMS with special guest star Rex Harrison! Here it is, the product of a week's work of imagination and collaboration. The Muppet Show, with our very special guest star, Rex Harrison. You may ask about the penguin gag repeated throughout the episode...

I watched the Weezer video recently and couldn't place a few voices- Fozzie and Statler, possibly Miss Piggy. Fozzie was definitely someone else- John Kennedy? Piggy might have been someone else- Eric Jacobson? Statler didn't sound like Jerry Nelson; he sounded more like Richard Hunt...

Well, I just put the finishing touches on it, and here it is: SPECIAL GUEST STAR: SAMMY DAVIS JR. STYLE: fifth season COLD OPENING: Pops is watching the baseball game. Sammy walks in. Pops tells Sammy how glad, how pleased, how thrilled he is to see him. Now he has someone to keep an...

If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take a look at this item: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=906993783&rd=1 It's listed as brand new, which means it must be something that is currently made and sold, right? So does anyone know if this is something...

I noticed something while watching the Bruce Forsyth episode. As you may know, in this episode, Fozzie Bear is trying to master the art of handling hecklers. In the middle of the show, Kermit guarantees Fozzie that Statler & Waldorf will not heckle him that night. The reason? The show's...

Hey all! While I don't think I could organize such a thing myself, I was thinking how cool it would be if someone had a cover band that played Fraggle Rock music. The music is terrific, and works even when removed from the context of the show. Problem is copyrights, but that's part of how...

Here's a Muppet Show idea that I had actually had when I was four (and recorded on the other side of the book and tape "Two for the Show"), however, this time I actually developed it. I hope you enjoy it. Late first season style SPECIAL GUEST STAR: BILLY JOEL OPENING THEME: Fozzie...

Didn't know where to post this, but I've been wondering what the replacement voices from Muppet RaceMania sound like. These are, of course, the voices for those characters whose original performers have passed on. Bill Baretta subbed for Henson on Rowlf & the Swedish Chef, John Kennedy subbed...

Yes, you read that right. I work at Meijer, and for weeks now I've been putting Season One opening credits Fozzie jokes on scan sheets (when someone claims a price is lower than it is and we give it to them for that price). Well, there were only 24 jokes and I've used about half of them...

I had thought of going to Chicago; my sister lives. But I am a college student and I am trying to save money (to go to Muppetfest 2 among other things) and I probably wouldn't be able to get the weekend off. Probably too late to plan (for my sensibilities, anyway). So I'm asking anyone who...

Just so I don't have to search through all 512 messages in the Ask Ken at Palisades thread, what's the SKU number for the Series 1 set? I'm planning to call Toys 'R Us some time this week. Thanks. Dave

Well, it's funny in retrospect anyway. Typically I don't worry much about final exams, but this particular semester I found myself having a hard time sleeping during exam week (I also had to be up earlier than usual every day- that couldn't have helped). But one night I had a dream that I...

I'll leave this thread up for when we see pictures of it. But to start off, wasn't that supposed to happen today? Perhaps the server is down again in Baltimore. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
