There was a thread on this over a year ago, but since I can't find it... It's pretty obvious that Wembley is the youngest of the five Fraggles, since the others are often explaining things to him, and even among the five he's sometimes referred to as "poor little Wembley" whenever bad tidings...

I forgot to ask this question of Steve Whitmire at MuppetFest. It seems that Wembley's pupils can move virtually 360 degrees. In any case, they don't move in a single straight path, which indicates that it's not the eyeballs themselves moving on an axis (b/c for the eyeballs to move in more...

I can very easily imagine Burl Ives on The Muppet Show. For those unfamiliar with Ives, he was a well-known folk singer as well as an accomplished actor, taking the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1958 for "The Big Country", the same year he reprised the role of Big Daddy in the film of "Cat on...

Specifically, how did the Muppeteers puppeteer the large-mouthed monsters, since their mouths were obviously larger than the human hand? Not to mention how they were able to puppeteer the monsters who ate other characters- how do you puppeteer a monster puppet when another puppet is being...

Let's hear it for 'the man'- literally, the only 'man' who was a regular part of the series on-screen (I am referring to the US/Canadian version, aware that other actors played the part in other countries). Parkes's Doc was energetic, gentle, odd, lovably grouchy, humorous, wise but flawed...

I love the ever-evolving visual design of TMS, and so last month I went through all the credits and compiled a list of episodes sorted by Art Director (to try and peg the visual trends). I forgot to post it until now. Here it is: David Chandler: Connie Stevens Juliet Prowse Joel Grey...

I should think that Flip needs little introduction. He was the first African-American to successfully host his own variety show, which ran for four years. During that time, the Muppets made numerous guest appearances. Submitted for your approval: "It's The Muppet Show, with our very...

I have to give Matt/jedix credit for this as he figured out the perfect guest star for an episode in which Gonzo runs the show, and he came up with nearly half the acts, too, and more bits besides. And we had this conversation only two days ago, and I just sat down to type it out around two or...

Quite a career, Christopher Lee has had. The step-cousin (and occasional golf partner) of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, he also played the title villain in the 1974 Bond flick "The Man with the Golden Gun". He is the only shared cast member between the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (as Saruman...

I shouldn't think I'd need to introduce Johnny Rivers to you, but for those of you who don't know, Rivers recorded such songs as "Secret Agent Man", "Poor Side of Town", "Mountain of Love", and covered such songs as "Memphis", "Tracks of my Tears", "Baby I Need Your Lovin'" and "Maybellene"...

Didn't think I would ever finish this one, but here it is. Also my first completed fanfic with a female guest star. Lee Remick was an Oscar-nominee for the alcoholic drama "Days of Wine and Roses" with Jack Lemmon and a Tony-nominee for the drama "Wait Until Dark" with Robert Duvall. Other...

Finally finished it, having started it three months ago (if you think that's something, I have some that have sat much longer.) For those of you who don't know, Ed Wynn was a legendary vaudevillian, radio star, and TV and film actor. He had his own radio show and a couple of TV shows in the...

This outline has been sitting around for ages, and in fact it's been almost complete for a couple of months. So while I was working on another outline, I chanced upon this one and finished it off (it's not as detailed as a lot of the more recent ones though.) If there's anyone who isn't...

In honor of his passing on Dec. 28th at the age of 69, here is this fan fiction tribute. Glad it only took 3 days to write. Most of you know Jerry Orbach from TV's "Law & Order", but he was also one of the foremost men of American musical theatre. He was the original El Gallo in the...

Could someone tell me about this character? I know she's played by Kristin Chenoweth, who I thought was jaw-droppingly good in "Wicked" (yes, I saw it before she left), and if she's a Muppet fan herself, that makes her even more awesome (in addition to her talents, her recording an album of...

It's supposed to hit stands today and apparently has Muppet news therein. I can't get into the Palisades forums (not since Sunday) and the site is loading up way too slow (though my internet has been slow since Monday), so I can't find out from there. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Anyone seen this? http://hokev.brinkster.net/default.asp?land=phenotypes&set=muppet Dumb question, I know. Many of you probably contributed to it. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

MegaCalendars.com doesn't have it, neither does Amazon.com. I don't have Paypal so that leaves me out of Muppetstore.com. Anyone know where they're available? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

So long as I have access to the TV, I know I'm going to! Anybody else? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

This project has been sitting one sketch away from completion for nearly 11 months! (Next week would've made eleven). Been talking about it lately and I finally decided to just finish it. For those of you who liked the Rex Harrison outline by TravellingMatt and myself, here is the fully...
