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...

A note/correction: the canteen scene should read as such: The backstage scene following would then center on just Angus and Kermit. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

My favorite parts: David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I really liked this one. Favorite parts: I laughed out loud at a number of those. One note about this part: I thought he hit Gorgon with a balloon animal hammer. At a glance I thought it said he had enough balloons. That could be interesting. Bill: "Wait- watch this!" (makes a...

Anybody catch the name of James's character in "Muppet News"? I meant the name to be like an inside joke, presumably Johnny's father. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I thought I had Thog caddying for Buddy in the golf sketch, but I see now that I omitted that detail. I hereby add him back in. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Another thing that's odd is that Gorgon Heap rarely omits a possible snack. In the Sherlock Holmes sketch, he eats Piggy, then looks over Rowlf & Baskerville and eats Baskerville. In the Vincent Price panel sketch, he eats Pierre and then tries to eat Kermit. In the Wayne & Wanda sketch, he...

Fozzie introduced Sandy Duncan's first number, and tried to do the opening intro in the Phyllis Diller episode. Phyllis George was the only true guest 'host', and as such introduced a number of the acts in that episode. Chris Langham introduced the opening number in his episode. David "Gorgon...

I think I'm the only one who broached the question. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

It was. There were three different Piggys in S1- the first in the Juliet Prowse episode, second from the Joel Grey through Candice Bergen episodes, and third from the Avery Schreiber through Mummenschanz episodes plus that one re-taped scene. The differences in the two puppets is subtle, but...

Jaye P. Morgan, Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, and J.P. Grosse. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

That's what I thought, too. He has his hand on Rowlf's back at that moment, presumably showing him to the door but I don't think butlers lead people to the door bodily, so coupled with what came before, that's what it looks like to me as well. I have a tough time imagining Rowlf getting...

Whole run, although I know Thog was at times performed by others when he didn't have a speaking role. Steve Whitmire played him in the Loretta Swit episode, and apparently Jim played him in the number with Bernadette Peters (plus Dave was Timmy Monster and Louise was Sweetums). Thog wasn't...

And Terry Angus. I myself only know of one other Muppeteer, but he has not come out and divulged his identity. In his profile he lists his occupation as 'Old Muppeteer'. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

There was, and this is another one. It took less time for me to punch in the answer again than look up the last thread that asked this question. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Why does it seem I'm the only one who ever remembers the answer to this question? The answer to this question, which is also the answer to the question of why did Statler pass to Richard Hunt after the "Sex & Violence" pilot, is because Jerry specifically didn't want to play any characters...

I wonder what made them eat certain characters and not others. In "Pigs in Space" on the Carol Burnett episode, watch Big Mama's eyes at the beginning of the sketch. The character looks pleased at the sight of Piggy and displeased at the sight of Link and Strangepork. In the Sherlock Holmes...

I had seen one of the Michael Jeter segments. That's about how I figured Kristin's segments worked. Thanks. Btw, anyone else think Kristin should work with the Muppets outside of SS? I saw her live on stage in "Wicked" and she is a phenomenal talent. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I'd say from the back. Piggy was always eaten while facing her eater whereas the guys could be either, so let's mix it up. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

He looks great! The eyes and the horns and the mouth are especially good. I did figure him taller, at least taller than the other puppet Muppets but shorter than the full-body monsters, but that's me. Too bad the mouth has to be stationary and he can't eat the other figures. And I love your...
