And more specifically to the point: I saw DC more times than I could keep track of, and I believe the first thing I said walking out at the end of "Labyrinth" encapsulated the second movie so perfectly, I have rarely wasted the description on any other movie unless truly merited: "...What a...

Don't know whether it was before or after TMM, but always wondered how they were able to get Lew Lord for the movie: "Miss Tracy, make out the standard Rich And Famous contract..." (Although the fact that Orson had also been a frequent Edgar Bergen/Charlie McCarthy guest during his radio...

Although this is why they list "age" next to poster's information... And since, as mentioned, most of the John-and-Paul feuds between Frank and Brian Henson have already been discussed as length, let's just say, for the sake of answering title header: Frank doesn't. :(

Frawley was picked for TMM on the basis that he was used to improv actors (like the Monkees, for ex.), and good at channeling the ad-lib energy into looser scripts, which certainly applied to Jim & Frank & Co. ...The added bonus, of course, was that nobody else could do incredibly bad...

(Uh...did he just say "An entire board for 'Muppets From Space'", or did I just hallucinate that?) :confused: Erm.....yyyeah.

Once we get past Kermit's "sort of approximately" explanation, a few gags later we realize this isn't the Muppets in the human world, this's occasional humans in the Muppet's own alternate-universe world-- Where, if you happen to say "Drinks are on the house", everyone really does go up on the...

Hear, hear on the "Caper" celebs: Part of what worked about the first TMM was that every celebrity seemed to want to go along with the gag, from Bergen to Hope to Orson Welles-- While GMC, OTOH, distracts you with every star (except for John Cleese and the performer cameos) looking hideously...

And what about Fraggle Rock? --- (An excited Mokey rushes up with news, while Red is engrossed in her latest fantasy novel) Red: "'The heroine was trapped...When suddenly a hideous Gibble-beast came up behind her and screamed--'" Mokey: "--REEEEDDD!!" (Red falls off her hammock)

And, to support the other lone surviving outposts of pre-Rizzo/movie Show-era quotes... :) --- (Rowlf returns from stage, as ceramic Beethoven piano-bust looks on) Kermit: "Very good, Rowlf, nicely done." Bust: "If you ask me, he plays it too fortissimo!" Kermit: "Uh, correct me if...

Okay: (ref's whistle, breaks teams apart) :attitude: At some point, we have to disclaimer that the OP confessed he didn't have a clue what he was talking about and was making up most of it out of his head, and that most of the early-Jim material necessary to making an informed...

1986, the same year as "Labyrinth" bit the dust-- The combination of which hit him pretty hard, near the end.

If you've seen his "mod" 60's film-school direction on "The Cube", "Time Piece" and that "(something) '69" thing of his, correct description would be "hip", but not "hippie"-- He was a college student who wanted a job on TV, neither of which would particularly fit the working definition as we...

...which, according to IMDb listings, is: --Now WAIT a minute!!... I can recall the occasional "Jerome" from phone calls to Ms. Ardathe later in the series, but when was his full name ever mentioned in the scripts? (Or just an in-house entry in the E.F.?)

Uh, wouldn't that be suggesting anybody ELSE wanted to discuss neurotic minutiae about the show?-- You've been outvoted, so just sit back and let everyone else salvage a little fun out of it... :grouchy:

Also, wasn't nostalgia, so much as the growing death of the Variety show-- As audiences wanted less generic variety hosts and more unique signature talents: Carol Burnett, of course, would always own its own corner of the industry, but somehow, nobody else could ever follow Kermit's strange...

Around the same time as MV3-D opened at the Disney/MGM Florida park, there were some other Muppet costume characters (of which only Kermit, Piggy and the occasional Sweetums still remain), and a "live" show of the whole cast in its own building-- The Disneyland version was likely a way to bring...

What struck me was that Ken Kwapis's direction seemed like a "truer" sequel to James Frawley on the first "Muppet Movie" than Henson could manage with "Caper" or Oz with "Manhattan"-- The "traveling" plot, the wide open Midwest countrysides, the celebrity cameos who didn't look embarrassed...

Assuming Doozers would be the pawns, would still be a rather one-sided chess game-- Eight major pieces on one side, and three on the other...

Also remember hearing that Hunt had a great rapport with kids, which worked for his SS characters: I remember one segment where one of his characters is ad-libbing with kids about what they want to be when they grow up, and one of the kids says "A cook"-- "Oh, a Chef of the Future, huh?"...

Actually, Carroll was originally from my hometown of South Acton, MA (when Big Bird once ad-libbed a joke about Acton, I just about fell off my seat), but since Californized-- Similarly for Frank, who grew up West Coast but was listed as born in England. While Jim was from (prophetically)...
