    charlietheowl's Random Thoughts: Season 1 of TMS

    The jokes are (usually) puns/play-on-words about houses/architecture. Except that the show isn't always about the interaction between the two. And how exactly are the Mummenschanz supposed to interact with the Muppets, based on the act that they do? Some guests in future seasons do numbers...

    Need Help: Signed Muppet Show Album

    Leyton, perhaps the Antiques Roadshow would be able to assist you in value. Are they going to be anywhere near you this year?

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Actually, I thought Muppet Wizard of Oz was entertaining and had a good script.

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Now who's talking hyperbole? "Killed the franchise"? I consider The Muppets to be the worst Muppet Movie as I felt it was less a Muppet film and more a Disney film disguised as a Muppet film. It has nothing to do with "some self centered old school fanboy self-righteousness." We're being...

    Question about TMS Season DVD Sets Anniversary Releases

    That was a re-release wasn't it? The original release didn't have the 50th Anniversary tag. None of the other seasons were released at that time.

    What if there had been a Muppet Show season 6?

    Actually, according to Jerry Nelson the only reason they couldn't afford McCartney was because it had to be him, Linda and Wings. I think all the other Beatles turned them down. In terms of Cher, she was booked to be a guest for Season Four, however it's likely that the ITV blackout of 1979...

    Muppet Show Trailers

    The trailer for the Ruth Buzzi episode has been put back on YouTube. Purely by chance, I found the Liberace trailer.

    TMS Seasons 4 and 5 Petition

    You're missing the point; unnamed reliable sources are usually unreliable sources. ISTR a few years back there as a blog post that used the "reliable source" phrase concerning the release of TMS Season Four. I put "reliable sources" in the same category as "source close to the star" - and we...

    "Reliable source". *Shakes head* If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

    Fav. Miss Piggy moments, also does anyone know which episode had her first karate chop?

    'fraid not; that scene was part of the new material that was taped for that episode in late Summer/early Spring 1976. The first proper chop is the Ruth Buzzi episode as it's the only episode not to have a sound effect dubbed on in post-production.

    Wierd Things you don't get

    Don't think so; the relationship between each character is complex and at times contradictory. Although they metaphorically push and pull at each other constantly, at the end of the day they pull together when it matters the most.

    Scooter being introduced in episode 6

    One other thing to add is that that production order doesn't reflect the taping order. For example, while Cheryl ladd's episode is no. 24 of the third year, her episode was taped prior to the filming of "The Muppet Movie".

    Scooter being introduced in episode 6

    The problem is that the two Pilots featuring Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens were taped in late January 1976 and then reworked over late Summer/early Fall 1976. Scooter doesn't appear in the original Juliet Prowse Pilot and I suspect he didn't appear in the original Connie Stevens Pilot...

    The "What was the point of that?" Thread

    Yiu may as well then say there was "no point" in making specials like "Hey Cinderella" or "The Frog Prince" since it was "yet another retelling of a story already told."

    The Muppet Show question

    For "some" CBS stations carried it, read "all". Colour adverts from Daily Variety confirm that it was screened in the US by all the CBS-owned stations. In terms of the UK, ITV aired the show.

    No he didn't; he's referring to the fact that the brown bear is considered to be a symbol of Russia in the western world.

    The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

    The pillow is part of the costume and has no direct relation to the song. The implication is that Miss Piggy's character is pregnant, and that is why she is marrying Kermit's character - he's the father. The only true joke is that Miss Piggy refuses to remove the pillow because she likes the...

    The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

    Dr Bob's line is "Hey, the timing of the shrew." It's a play-on-words on the Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew".
