(gang is gearing up for a party in room 7) Beige: Jar of Insta-Gro pills...check. Storyteller: One laundry tub with ten pairs of Fraggle socks...check. Nora: One book of postcards from Traveling Matt...check. Erin: One set of half-eaten tires...check. Scooter: And one catapult...check...

Well, they say that Richard could do a dead-on Kermit voice: "His Kermit voice is a close approximation of Jim's..." And it'd be really cool to hear what he did with the other characters.

Beige: Mmm...nanas...(chomps into one) So what's this about grunts? Scooter: A grunt's kinda like a slump - my aunt likes to make blueberry grunt in the summer, but I have no clue where the name comes from. Nora: It's 'cause as the berries cook, they splatter and splurt up through the dough, and...

Oh, yeah, wouldn't you have wanted to be in the Muppet workshop when Richard came through with a group of kids following him? Full Pied Piper mode...and of course, the tour guide was having just as much fun as the tour group was. I remember the chapter that detailed this kind of thing in "Of...

(gang is in kitchen, waiting for a pan of blueberry slump to finish up in the oven) Storyteller: In French, cute is mignon, isn't it? Scooter: Yeah. In German, it's schoen...no, wait, that's beautiful. Nora: What about Japanese? It's kirei, isn't it? Erin: No, it's kawai. Beige: And in...

"And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest." Let's face it, Jim and Richard and the other dearly departed Muppet team members aren't going to let a little thing like being dead stop them from continuing to inspire people. And about the family dynamics: It's like Jane Hunt said; the...

It does; just as Scooter was Kermit's eager-to-please sidekick and assistant, Richard was one of Jim's right-hand (so to speak!) people. "I was 18 when I started...and I was really energetic, always 'Yeah, sure, anything you want to do, boss.'" I also liked Brian Henson's remarks: "...and I...

Happy birthday, Mr. Nelson! (in background, Electric Mayhem starts in on a rendition of 'Happy Birthday.')

Erin: ...so, Ed, on the subject of ice cream, I think the horse would prefer a nightshade-sugar cube swirl. Scooter: And aren't they supposed to be fond of rotten eggs or something? Nora: Well, technically, anything that smells like sulfur. Storyteller: In that case, get a few socks from Beige's...

Yeah, Lewis was really big on depicting Christian allegory in his books. I think he used the right amount in the Narnia books, and the saga of Ransom, but in some of his other books, the treatises on death, heaven, mourning and all that, I think he was a nudge too preachy. And of course, the...

Yeah, I've read stories about viewers holding their breath until the Fraggles got safely back to the Fraggle hole or over to the Trash Heap. For me, though, Junior wasn't exactly scary; he always came across as big, cheerful and clumsy. And once again, I'm thinking of that one photo taken on...

Beige: An anti-sugar freak? (gasps) Claudia, how can you say that? Nora: Well, if you've got diabetes it's understandable, but still...how's the blueberry buckle coming along? Erin: It's not done until it looks like the bubbling tarpits from the Land of Gorch. Scooter: Minus the wastelands and...

Good luck with the net bills, Marty - let's face it, we're feeling the pinch in everything these days. I'm home visiting the family for the 4th, and for general goofing off. And get this...I think my mom might be warming to Fraggle Rock. She's never been crazy about the show, see - when we...

Yeah, it's just like with Monty Python. It's always funnier when it's a guy playing a woman - especially with some of the one-liners that Richard came up with. "Look, Mother, it's my life, okay? So if I want to live on the beach and walk around naked...oh." I liked the scene where they were...

(A rickety cart goes rolling through hallway, pulled by Erin and Nora) Erin: Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! Scooter: (running up, carrying Beige) Here's one! Beige: I'm not dead yet... Nora: Here...he says he's not dead yet. Beige: I'm getting better... Scooter: No you're not...

Oh, interesting...so Scooter was supposed to have sung a pensive little tune by the campfire? That'd have been really cool; like I said, it's always Scooter's verse in "Saying Goodbye" that tugs at my heartstrings. I kinda like Scooter's role as the Mayhem's road manager in the movie - though...

(entire population of room 7 is nursing scratchy throats) Beige: (having some ice cream) She's got an image stuck in her head, and I've got a frog stuck in my throat. Nora: (hunting for aromatherapy candles) Beige, you know that joke really doesn't fly around here. (joke book flies across...

(chuckle) In that case, we've seen quite a few Lugsys (and perhaps a few Beans) roaming around my mom's garden lately. They're very fond of Mom's green beans. Richard really seemed to go in for the big-brother types, both on camera and in real life; on-camera, you've got Scooter ("Get down in...

(gang listens to Ed's question about ice cream for horse of doom) Storyteller: A four-hooved horse of doom? How intriguing... Beige: Oh, just give it ice cream with clover and oats or something. Scooter: Don't think so...do horses of doom actually eat clover and oats? Erin: It depends. If it's...

(Nora is curled up on the sofa, reading Dostoevsky's "The Gambler.") Nora: Polina's out of your league, Aleksey. (looks up) How's the ice cream coming along? Erin: (over whir of mixer) The green tea needs several more minutes, and the coconut cream mix needs to chill for a while. How's "The...
