Well, for starters, I don't really do non-musical UK Spots. There weren't that many of them, and in truth I REALLY prefer the ones that were musical. For the most part, I don't care for non-musical UK Spots. So the answer to that part of your question is probably never. I've thought about...

But I think it's obvious these two sketches were taped at the same time. Sheer numbers. The John Cleese episode was actually taped in between Dom DeLuise and Bernadette Peters, and while parts of the Judy Collins episode WERE taped early in Season Two (specifically, the backstage scenes...

Why?

I'd skip the Muppets altogether and take mine to the accounting firm of H&R Pufnstuf;) (Ten useless points if you understand that). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

We know Vet's Hospital, Pigs in Space, Muppet News, Muppet Labs, Swedish Chef etc. were regular features. Season One had a number of regular features (Wayne & Wanda, panel discussion, The Houses, Guest Star Gag) that were dropped. Season Three found the addition of lesser-used regular features...

1- a lot of low spots, but it stands apart and contains my fave episodes 2- everything came together in terms of tone, structure, and character, the season featured the greatest number of true showbiz legends, and every episode contains some classic bit; no wonder this season won the Emmy for...

Wha? What about the plot with Gonzo leaving? I thought it was handled excellently- it was sincere and heartfelt and yet they still had room for (equally genuine) humor. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Another time, I promise. They've once again taken a backseat to some other outlines I'm more interested in completing at the present time (see below). Right now I'm working on four Season Four style outlines, oddly enough all featuring male recording artists. There's one in particular...

Thanks. And why should you apologize for adding to an old post? I love feedback! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Cass Elliott, 4/22/06 David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Or 'Mama Cass' as she's often been referred to, of The Mamas & the Papas fame. For those who don't recognize the group name, they sang such folk rock classics as "Monday, Monday", "California Dreamin'", and "I Saw Her Again Last Night". Cass went on to a solo career on the stage and variety...

Only once do we see Pops's entrance area connected to the backstage: in the cold opening on the Tony Randall episode, Tony comes in, talks to Pops (on his left), then turns face front and goes up the stairs. This area is only shown thrice outside of the cold openings: the aforementioned Tony...

I always figured there was a door across from Pops' office and that it led to the canteen. Forgot about the door to the hallway next to the stairs going up- perhaps that leads to the stairs that go into the canteen, and there's a door across from Pops's office that leads to the canteen on the...

Yeah, if there ever was an episode could use a preface, this is it. Whole thing's an inside joke, and having Brian explain it would've been nice, I think, for those not in the know. I can still remember asking my parents who he was when I was little, and they had no idea. David "Gorgon...

Vic, I think I have a correction: In the layout, you show Pops' desk to the left of the stairs leading up, but whenever a guest star came in from outside, Pops was always on their left, so from the backstage view, Pops' desk should be to the right of the steps leading to the bottom level...

I agree with everything that Tim said. What I don't understand is, why is it so difficult to produce a script that comes closer to the original Muppet style and tone? Is it inability, or lack of desire to do so? In my mind, from studying Muppet humor and writing all these outlines, there...

All this time I thought he was just acting. That is so unfortunate. Often times he seemed like not a very nice guy save for where Tim Conway was concerned. Funny thing, putting the bit about the chicken suit together with them making Elton do the wild costumes and Gene Kelly do "Singin'...

His actual first name was Richard. The name Red, obviously, came from his red hair (just like Red Buttons, for that matter). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
