    Inchworm

    And the song makes so much more sense in the context of the movie. In the film, Hans is loathed by the village schoolmaster because he makes the kids late for class with his morning storytellings, and his imagination has rubbed off on the children to the point that they neglect to learn the...

    "To Morrow"

    Yes, it was. Funny little novelty song- so inventive, so clever, so whimsical. Anyone have any idea who wrote that song? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Season 1 Chorus Girls

    At the point that that intro was taped, tho, both Piggy and Janice were still chorus girls (or at least Janice was doubling as one), and by that logic I doubt either one had a regular performer. Also of note is the fact that they are all singing in unison to a pre-recorded track, so whoever did...

    What Season was "IF" performed on TMS?

    And it was the closing number. Picture on this page: http://www.muppetcentral.com/guides/episodes/tms/season2/40_laine.shtml It's one of my favorites, too- quite possibly the most beautiful number ever done on TMS. The song was originally done by the folk group Bread, and was also covered...

    The Great Santa Clause Switch

    Who owns the rights to TGSCS? Henson or Sullivan? At any rate, if a deal could be hammered out to put 20 of 25 Muppet sketches from "The Ed Sullivan Show" on DVD... David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Request for scans from one TMS sketch

    I just realized that using the email through this site, you wouldn't be able to attach pics. My email is caliban51782@hotmail.com - thanks in advance. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    First to go on a frog...

    I think the 'legs' line was a joke (the legs go, as in frog legs) and the 'tongue' line was Kermit being serious. Side note: my 900th post! I've been here HOW LONG and have yet to become a Senior Member? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    If you're speaking of why the episodes are in the order that they are on the set, and why they are numbered as such, it's because those are official episode numbers. They are set before the season even begins, and while they generally run close to production order, there are occasional switches...

    Ideas for single-disc Fraggle Rock DVD content

    I figure there'll be a Gorgs one after the Doozers one. I figure "Sir Hubris" will be on it. In addition to the ones you mentioned, there's also "A Dark and Stormy Night", "The Battle of Leaking Roof", and "Bored Stiff" to choose from, for a starting point. Wonder what they'd call it? Maybe...

    "Doin Things That Doozers Do" on Ebay

    I'm a little surprised at the content, as far as "Red's Club" (which sort of marginalizes the Doozer role) and "Trial" (doesn't this episode, I presume, end the Doozer-Fraggle conflict once and for all?) I would've expected more Doozer-centric episodes, like "The Doozer Contest" and "Doozer is...

    Review: Paul Williams and Gonzo DVD

    Is anyone else unable to access the "Willie Meets Gonzo" part? When I click on it, from either Willie's page or Gonzo's, the DVD shuts off. Am I the only one with this problem? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    I don't know either... but I can already picture Season Two being orange and fuzzy with Fozzie's polka dot tie. But I have a hard time picturing what other fuzzy covers would look like (i.e. Piggy, Gonzo, Rowlf, etc.), since most other characters wore clothes. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    IMO seeing and especially hearing clips from both songs gives away too much. And in response to Squigiman's above post, I couldn't agree more. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Were Cantus & the Minstrels based on anyone

    Musician/songwriter Phil Balsam and his neighbor, poet/lyricist Dennis Lee were the principal songwriting duo behind a good 90% of the songs on FR. Incidentally, you might remember the poem "Alligator Pie" which is also by Lee, from one of his volumes of children's poetry. Dennis Lee was...

    TMS Recording Order

    You're welcome. I actually got the list four years ago, I emailed the Henson Company fanmail link. I had posted a thread for it back then but of course finding a four-year-old thread is a pain in the keyster. Like I said, Season Two is best in taping order. Come to think of it, Season...

    TMS Recording Order

    Me too. That's why when I made that tape of Season Two uncut (yes, A tape- one 10 hour tape which took me three months to make) I put them in guest star taping order. They actually flow much better in that order and visually things make more sense (i.e. the lighting/design changes that took...

    TMS Recording Order

    I wouldn't, because clearly the Kermit intros for the Kaye Ballard episode were taped at the same time as the ones for the Ethel Merman episodes, which indicates that the material for that show was taped first. Sometimes they had two guests come in during the week- Melissa Manchester and Gladys...

    But if you listen to their voices, clearly they're performed by Jim, Jerry, Dave and Steve. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
