-John C. Reilly
-Queen Latifah
-Ewan McGregor
-Hugh Jackman
-Lenny Kravitz
-Jewel (hey, they worked with John Denver, right?)
-Alanis Morrissette
-Jeffrey Tambor
-Will Arnett...
Gene Wilder is another one on my outline list (when I'll work on this one, God only knows; ditto my Steve Allen, Alan Alda, and Cat Stevens outlines).

I think you've got the right idea. You've got 12 sketches in here- that's about right for a Season One episode. From about late Season One onward, the number dropped to about 8 or 9 sketches per episode, on average.
The one thing I'd suggest is to switch some of the sketches around, and...
Are you referring to falsetto vs. head voice? I've been singing my whole life and I still have trouble with the distinction.
Seems to me that Robin and Herbert Birdsfoot are in high head voice, whereas say Miss Mousey is in falsetto, at least at her highest range. Am I close to what you're...
I think this is one of your better ones.
Favorite moments:
-Pigs in Space
-Bear on Patrol- stealing eyes, priceless!
-Swedish Chef (and the Waldorf bit afterward)
What season is this supposed to be set in, if you had decided? Foo-foo wasn't created until Season Four, and the dressing...
Only Phillip Kippel asks that :)
Could you explain the wheelchair bit? Is he doing two things at once, trying to figure out what show Joe Flaherty is on, while using the wheelchair to get some respect?
"Still Crazy After All These Years" is a perfect song for TMS. Dribbling a baby like...
Well, really that only proves that I hear well. But I have been told I have some vocal prowess myself (if not Jerry Nelson's range)...

Not long ago, I actually calculated based on what we've heard, in terms of his vocal extremities, and I think that Jerry, from at least his late 30s to late 40s, had at least a good 3 1/2 octave range. As Thog, in songs like "Real Live Girl" with Mia Farrow and "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?"...

Yes, she died in 1993. I also remember reading (here, I think) that the reason she left TMS was to return to the U.S. in order to get married. This may have been in one of the interviews on the main site.

Secret Squirrel,
We know you are regarded here as a contact within the goings-on at Henson and environs, but should we take it from the above reply that you are a puppeteer by occupation?

I'm gonna go right ahead and double-post, just so nobody misses it:
You can't top mine.
I was 7. My 8th birthday was the next day, May 17th. I was at the kitchen table, eating dinner with my family, and watching the news on our little black and white TV (where I had often watched TMS and...

I was 7. My 8th birthday was the next day, May 17th. I was at the kitchen table, eating dinner with my family, and watching the news on our little black and white TV (where I had often watched TMS and SS). The newscaster announced the death of Sammy Davis Jr. at the age...
Probably felt a bit bombarded. Everyone on this whole board would like to chat with him.

#32 at 3:27 p.m. EST on Friday, August 26. Should probably crack top 25 within the next few days!
Remember this, also: at www.tvshowsondvd.com, FR was for the longest time actually ranked HIGHER on the list of wanted TV shows than TMS (it might still be).

No apologies necessary- great minds think alike!
Or perhaps the # could be done with babies, given that the song is in future tense. That could be interesting. Or have young to middle-aged Whatnots with elderly flash forwards.

What I'd like to know is if whoever saw the Cleo Laine episode remembers how that one was edited. Also, does anyone actually HAVE a copy of the Nickelodeon edit?
