    TMS outline- Buddy Hackett!

    This one was so close to done I decided to just finish it. Hackett was a comic actor known for his funny-sounding voice. He co-starred in "The Music Man" and provided the voice of Scuttle the seagull in Disney's "The Little Mermaid". He worked with the Muppets just once, providing the voice...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    I just wanted to repeat something from the FR interview on "Marooned"- the episode added a new layer to the relationship between Red and Boober but their overall relationship remains unchanged. That is, the relationship doesn't suddenly change, but instead it grows while retaining the same...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    I find that OCs work best if they effectively fill a certain function that can't be performed by a regular character, and more importantly, if they can bring something out in the main characters. I introduced the character of Piggy's mother, Hortense, for the purpose of exposing Piggy's...

    Boober and Tosh

    I was looking for this the other day. Besides Ma, Pa, and Junior, and Rutner, who is the last of the five Gorgs? Ever thought of fleshing out the fanfic as a script? It'd be a good way to throw in some good Fraggle humor and song (at least the lyrics). I've been thinking about writing...

    Statler & Waldorf quotes...

    Wow, a lot of those "From the Balcony" quotes are pretty darn good. There may be hope for the future of Muppet writing yet! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Should there have been more secondary Fraggle eps?

    Dave was Large Marvin and Jerry was Feeny. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Gobo & Mokey

    Some to add: #22 Mokey's Funeral: after Mokey overhears the others ripping on her poetry, she gets upset and says something along the lines of "they don't even like my poems, even Gobo", as though she counted on him more than the others or felt a deeper connection to him #23 The Beast of...

    Improvements you wish they'd thought of (TMS)

    TMS is my favorite show of all time, and hardly an episode is a dud. However, there are always, as with any series, a few missteps. What's worse is if you look at an episode and see immediately that something didn't work, and it's seeming obviousness to you makes you wonder why it wasn't...

    MC members

    I know of a few Henson people who are registered members here, but I'm sure there are some I don't know about. The ones I do recall: -Terry Angus (of FR: Storyteller, Brio the minstrel, Morris Fraggle) -Karen Prell -Jerry Nelson -Secret Squirrel (whoever he/she may be) Anyone know of...

    Should there have been more secondary Fraggle eps?

    I couldn't spell out the whole question in the thread title, but basically what I'm asking is whether or not you would've liked there to have been more FR episodes centered around secondary Fraggle characters, such as Feeny, Large Marvin, Tosh, Lou, and Marlon. The only one I can think of is...

    Faz Fazakas would know first and foremost. Anyone know if he's ever been to this board? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    TMS Script- Rex Harrison

    In the words of J.P. Grosse, "I hope you mean that as a compliment, frog!" But yeah, TravellingMatt and I (he co-wrote the outline with me) wanted to use that penguin joke, which was spawned from a real incident btw, and that was how it ended up coming out. I wanted to save it for the end...

    TMS outline- Tennessee Ernie Ford!

    Glad that joke actually made sense! Mainly b/c I was in a hurry to finish it and I couldn't come up with a better one. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    A 6th Fraggle

    Who was it on MC who wrote a fanfic in which Boober & Tosh get married following Tosh's capture by Junior Gorg's son (named Rutner in the fanfic)? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Best TMS opening number

    Some additions: -Connie Stevens: "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" -Charles Aznavour: "I Feel Pretty" -Ben Vereen: "Jump Shout Boogie" -Vincent Price: "I've Got You Under My Skin" -Twiggy: "Dance" -Mummenschanz: "Mr. Bassman" -Teresa Brewer: "Cotton Fields" (fun, energetic) -Madeline Kahn...

    TMS outline- Tennessee Ernie Ford!

    TotallySpiesFan, Try reading the responses before you post another one. I've got lots of outlines I'm working on already, more than I can count off the top of my head. I don't need the backlog to get bigger. Consequently, it sounds like you've got plenty of ideas of your own. Why, then...

    TMS outline- Burl Ives!

    I did?! CRAP! Scratch the last thing I said then. Leave it as the bird couple in addition to the ones who have jokes. Just those seven. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    A 6th Fraggle

    She was in a ton of episodes, I was just trying to list the ones in which she had a speaking part. On that subject, she also had lines in "Scared Silly" (I think it was only one line). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Mainly Dr. Teeth, joined by the rest only in the choruses. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
