Gonzo: Hey, Piggy--there's a big, scary, gross monster movie marathon on.
Rizzo: I hear there's food!
Piggy: Um, no thank you. I don't really like horrific movies.
Rizzo: (aside to Fozzie) Obviously she hasn't watched any of her early work lately! (laughs hysterically)
Fozzie: (looking...
Ru: (brightly) There we go. Okay--who wants to say Grace?
Fozzie: Do you mean the girl in Apartment 12?
Ru: What? Oh--no. I mean, um, return thanks before we eat.
Rizzo: Why do we have to return it? I didn't take it! (laughs hysterically at his own joke) What? Sheesh--tough crowd.
Fozzie...
Ru: (peeping out from the kitchen) Is she--is she down?
Kermit: Looks that way. I think the marshmallow squares did the trick.
Gonzo: (popping up behind Kermit and making them both jump) I can do tricks!
Ru: Gonzo! Oh, sheesh, honey. Can you stop that?
Rizzo: (munching a marshmallow square)...
Ru: OMG! I'm going to go down there and KISS Ed for getting the dorms open!
Fozzie: Not if I beat you to it! (stops) Um.... That didn't come out right.
Kermit: (grinning, open-mouthed and delighted) We know what you mean, Fozzie. Heck, I'll kiss him if it comes to that.
Ru: Better not tell...
Ru: Piggy--Piggy, honey, just wait a little bit--
Piggy: Open up! I DEMAND you open up this apartment building this INSTANT!
Kermit: Piggy, sweetheart, they're still trying to get things ready for us to--
Fozzie: And Ed is working really hard to get the names up on the mailboxes....
Piggy: I...
(There are three patient roommates and one out-of-patience diva having a cuppa. Food has been ordered--comfort food--and there are great hopes that it will arrive soon. Very soon.)
Piggy: I do not understand what the hold up is! (Stamps foot.) Moi specifically has it in all of my contracts...

Though it's late in the day of your birth,
Still the sun hasn't circled the earth,
So I'm taking the time in this little rhyme
To say, "Since you've come, there's no dearth
Of Martians and Monsters and Mayhem!
('Hey now,' complained Floyd, 'we've been here.')
And we've all seen...
Yay! Let's hear it for frog hormones and sexy lingerie! I do think that Piggy has a whole wardrobe of sexy lingerie--regardless of the state of her love life--but I'm glad she found something devastatingly attractive to wear for this night! I'm amazed that Kermit has the presence of mind to...
I am still mostly un-introduced to Fraggles--it's on my 2013 plate once I get some writing obligations out of the way--but I know enough to enjoy this story.
My favorite part? When--instead of backing off--Gobo brought it right to Red.
Thanks for sharing!

Awww. This was very sweet, Charlie my dear.
One of the things that has always characterized Jim's work is that "knowingness" is a way of loving somebody. Kermit's friends know that Kermit can't help being a dictatorial control freak, and they love him anyway. Fozzie's friends know...
Chris wasn't dubbed for the finale--he wanders throughout the finale fussing about the muppets singing. He is also shown with Snowths during "Mahna Mahna," smiling and happy to be there.
Yes--yes we are!
It should have said, "Piggy exclaimed over the prize and did enough justice to it to be polite." In other words, Piggy ate enough of the specially-prepared treat to show that she appreciated it, then generously shared it with her friends.
It is supposed to be d' (D...
Um, are you talking about when Tex Richmond comes along and says that? Because he does say that, right about the time the muppaphones are on....
And Amy does her "weird voice" things for (as Gonzo would say) dramatic emphasis. It's not scatting--that's a different sort of vocalization, but...
Do you want suggestions? Cause here's something I'd like to see:
Since the theater is always NOTORIOUSLY short of funds, somebody might come up with an idea to raise money by making a, um, you know, calendar--the kind of calendar you see in garages and cubicles. (The kind Piggy is making in...
So did you? Go back and watch it?
I've watched it about six times this week. I watched all my muppet Christmas specials but I apparently wasn't "full" yet, so I'm revisiting EVERYTHING ELSE! (I'm watching The Muppets NOW while I ski on my Nordic Track! Let's hear it for technology!)
Calendar Girl wins hands down!
Ru: Hmmm...makes me want to write a story called, "A Pig for All Seasons." Or--wait! Maybe, "A Frog for All Seasons."
Gonzo: What about "A Whatever for All Seasons"?
Rizzo: Um, too commercial.
Gonzo: Of course.
