    New Gonzo head sculpt!

    I just came from www.palisadestoys.com and I just HAD to come here and post. Check out the comparison shots in today's bit. Ken, I have to hand it to you and the Palisades guys. The re-shaping of Gonzo's head to it's correct shape and fullness, the tucking of his fur behind his eyelids, the...

    TMS Season 1 B & W 8X10s

    This year I started a collection of vintage B & W 8X10 Muppet Show photos, specifically from the first season. I've only got 3 so far- Florence Henderson and the monsters, the Mummenschanz in the Talk Spot set with Kermit, and Bruce Forsyth with the Gawky Bird. I'm expecting the pic of Joel...

    Emmet Otter DVD question

    I just got the Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas 1996 video release out of my local library, and I noticed some different editing than the Nickelodeon broadcast version. Just before the end, where Ma and Emmet and the jug-band sing in the Riverside Rest, the camera pans over to Kermit, who...

    Great Santa Claus Switch pics, character descriptions

    Does anyone know where I can find pics and character descriptions from The Great Santa Claus Switch online? I remember a site with pics from it a while back- anybody have the link to that? Anyone know of a site with character descriptions, i.e. one of Lothar? I need it for an upcoming...

    Best TMS guest stars

    A matched set with the 'Worst TMS guest stars' thread. Here are my picks: Rita Moreno: a richly deserved Emmy win for her sparkling and varied performance; she goes from expertly acted and executed slapstick to a sharp, catty dialected character to amiably being herself to trying to keep her...

    Worst TMS guest stars

    I was just thinking about it, so I figured I'd start a thread. Here are my picks: Bruce Forsyth: I've been planning to write an article about him and his episode for Tough Pigs, but my main points are: he's goofy, grating, insincere, a show-off and a phony Marisa Berenson: not an insult...

    Album cover foldouts?

    I'm debating on which version of The Muppet Show Albums 1 & 2 to try to buy on Ebay. As I recall The Muppet Show 2, Gatefold/US version, doesn't have the foldout cover revealing pictures of all the Muppets in the arches. This match up with what everyone else knows? Second, I have never seen...

    Where can I get Series 4 cheaper than EBGames?

    EBGames.com is now charging $8.99 per fig, up from $7.99. Does anyone know another reliable online retailer that's selling them cheaper than that? Thanks. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Cheaper than EBGames?

    Starting with Series 4 it looks like the Muppet figures are going to be selling for $8.99 at ebgames.com rather than the previous $7.99. Are there any good online outlets where they'll still be sold for $7.99, or better yet, $6.99, or is this something handed down from Palisades? Thanks...

    Collectors Club help

    Can Ken or anybody else answer this: I signed up for the collectors' club via standard mail. I tried to see about logging in and I think I accidentally registered a second time- it's asking me to pay the $30 fee again! What should I do? Can I fix this? Maybe I should just wait until...

    Looking for some old sketches

    Anyone remember: "F-Fan/N-Net"- a purple operatic soprano (played by Richard Hunt) w/an elaborate black wig who puts together the word 'fan' only to have her wig blown off, and the word 'net' only to have one dropped on her "This is my front, this is my back"- another purple soprano, this...

    General MC Radio request

    Less "Sesame Street Fever" and more Fraggle Rock. I have the SS Fever album and now listening to the songs on MC Radio, I realize why I never listened to it as a child. This is just my two cents/suggestion, it's something I would like. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I just wanted...

    Assistance requested- Wayne & Wanda and Crazy Harry

    Hi all! As you may know, I've written a few TMS outlines and posted them online. I'm working on another one, a first season one featuring James Caan, and I wanted to include a Wayne & Wanda sketch. Now you know they were always interrupted and never finished an act. On the show, they...
