(Storyteller is in her hut, Nora is asleep in the armchair, and Scooter and Beige are dozing on the sofa.) (door opens) Storyteller: (poking head out) Who's there? Erin: (entering) Guys? I'm back. Nora: (waking up) How was the wedding? Scooter: Anyone have too much to drink? Beige: Yeah, and...

(Scooter, Nora, Beige and Storyteller are playing Scrabble) Beige: (putting letters down) There we are...baloobius. Scooter: Rats - there goes my shot at that double word score. Nora: And for your information I still don't think gribazoogum is a word. Erin: (from room) Yes it is, it's the...

Erin: (laughing) Mind if I join you in some of that Earl Grey? (gets up from computer and goes to kitchen to start heating water) Nora: According to that song, drinking Earl Grey means you're a nerd... Erin: (snort) Nora, I've been a dedicated nerd since birth...and I think the same goes for...

Nora: (giggle) But not living there hasn't stopped him before...(looks over at Erin) Working on another article? Erin: Yeah, the usual political mess. But I want to get this one finished up quickly. Scooter: Because you hate writing about politics on a Friday afternoon? Erin: That, and I'm going...

Oh, it's him - it's that distinctive curly crop of his, don't you know. As for me, I'm amazed at how long Richard's hair was visible on screen during the Bernadette Peters episode, when they're all singing "Just One Person."

Erin: (standing next to the stove, eyeing the kettle) Claudia, you might want to try some mint tea. It's been known to help me a bit. Scooter: I heard Gonzo and the others say something about maneuver 81A...(looks up) and it looks like they're already storming the battlements. Beige: Oh...

You know - in "Wembley and the Mean Genie," several times you can see the top of Richard's head just below the Genie, and during "Home is Where the Trash is," as Philo and Gunge are rearranging stuff in Red and Mokey's room, you can see Richard's sleeve (he was apparently wearing a blue-gray...

Well, Scooter did "There's a New Sound" on one of the UK spots, and then there were all of the classical pieces Rowlf did. But the UK spots gave the Muppet crew to do a lot of music hall numbers - some of which might not fly on network television in the U.S. (see also: Waiting at the...

Erin: Long day? Nora: (slinking off to room) The usual. Beige: I went to a meeting of security Fraggles - just a lot of empty talk. Scooter: I'm going to do some music practice, is that okay? Storyteller: Have at it, I think we could all use a bit of musical therapy. (Scooter sits down on the...

Yeah, I knew the lead singer was Jerry - couldn't decide if the piano player was Jim or Richard. Mom said she didn't think it was either one of them. I like how "Of Muppets and Men" described them: "All right, this is sung with three miserable, depressed wretches." "Two miserable, depressed...

Scooter: (singing, with guitar) I mean, you don't - have - to live like a refugee... Beige: (singing) Don't have to live like a refugee... Nora: What's going on? Erin: Sounds like the boys are channeling Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (boots up computer) Another council story to write...(takes...

Quick, get the woman to a freezer! :) But, yes, Richard does tend to have that effect on the (female) members of the RHLC. It is worth thinking over - I mean, what makes Richard so appealing? Other than the fact that he was an all-out joker and a very tuneful singer, he had a brain in his...

Storyteller: (writing) The Poohbahs are a secretive lot, to the extent that they do not address each other as such in public. (looks at notes) They spend their Monday nights playing tug-of-tail and imitating Shirley Bassey, and on the fourth Wednesday of every month, they have the solemn...

That's really cool, heralde! "He was especially kind to kids visiting the set." And there's that one story Jerry told about Richard asking him to perform the Count for a group of kids - "Can you imagine the effect this has on a child's mind?" Other actors, I imagine, would be annoyed at the...

So that was one of Jim's last clips? You're right - that is really poignant. Kermit's wondering about "the world up there," and in a short while, the man playing him will be going there. And yes, it does fit in really well with Richard's speech. In both, you see the importance of just...

Erin: (having a mug of tea at the table) I've only had class for three days this week, but it was a long three days. Nora: But you didn't have any newspaper assignments this week, did you? Erin: Nope - the paper's off on break until next week. Nora: That's good - and Mrs. Farley went off to...

I think I've seen that photo before, too. Last night, I dreamed that Richard had given yet a third speech at Jim's memorial, and that I was listening to a recording of it. He did make a few jokes, as I recall, but I think his emotions started to get the better of him - you could hear it in his...

Storyteller: All right, everyone, it's after 11, so time to turn in. (general chorus of "do we have to?") Erin: And I've got a midterm tomorrow, and two papers due... Nora: Ouch. And I'm helping to reorganize the shop's database. Beige: (sotto voce) Hey, Scooter, want to raid the fridge for...

Oh, so that's what Jerry said - I couldn't tell what it was over Jim's narration. (no offense, Jim) You're right; a bunch of fish being made to burble "You Light Up My Life" when they're struck is pretty absurd, so no wonder Richard had to get up and deliver a good solid laugh. And everyone...

Interesting thing happened today - I had to go by the office of one of my professors to pick up a term paper I did for my class on children's literature. I noticed that the prof had a bunch of Muppet plushes and figurines sitting on her bookshelf, so she and I had a quick chat about all things...
