Bing cherries- LOL! This was a good one, Princeton. Also liked the 'going my way' gag and the idea of a dressing room scene with Bing teaching his singing style. Keep it up!

I like it. It has a very 'vintage' look to it, like something one might have found in the 70s (it literally reminds me of a number of 70s artifacts I have seen, color and 'texture' wise).
And they had better have the original Season One openings- with everything else they've got, why on...
Right. I do know who Thig is- he's in your current avatar, TSF. Looks like one of the ones I made- you get it off of Barry Lee's site?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
No, I just answered the question and I said it was an oversight on my part. Why are you contradicting answers I gave to questions that were addressed to ME?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
That fox was created for "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas", which if I'm not mistaken was done in between seasons one and two. Anyone have any info that contradicts this?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Yeah, good point. Include Big Mama.
It's Sweetums, Thog, Timmy, the Mutations, and Tom, Dick & Harry. There should be more monsters in there tho, now that I think of it. Let's add Boppity, Gloat, Uncle Deadly and Miss Kitty.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Hmm, scratch Robin, Thig, and Link.
How about all 6 from the "One Sentence Birds" sketch?
I liked TSF's couple suggestions this time out.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Guess you've got me there.
Hmm, how about the pink, rhino-nosed woman in the tutu (Leticia) & the blue Whatnot man in flannel, two Merdlidops, and Harold the Woodpecker with a chicken?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Wayne & Wanda were only ever in the earlier "At the Dance" segments, but Taminella & Svengali, that I like- maybe not in this outline, but somewhere along the line. Also, the usual pair of pigs would be there too.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Come to think of it, I don't think they had seals on TMS prior to the last episode. Those seals were built for the Gene Kelly episode, which was the last episode to tape (in mid-August of 1980).

TSF called everything except for the two questions involving the birds. In the opening number, all 6 birds from the "One Sentence Birds" sketch are present, and in the closing #, it's WhaddyaSay Bird, YouKnow Bird, OhReally Bird and RightOn Bird. Also, the Electric Mayhem is playing backup in...
Diana Ross episode Dixieland band.
Generic Whatnot pigs.
Yes.
Skyball Paint.
Nope, just the ones who were already there.
Yes.
Hmm, don't know.
Alice Cooper band plus 'Food', Phoob, and Trevor the Gross.
Hmm, how about a new character? Either that or Big Mama with...
The usual Season Two couples, plus a couple of rats and a fox dancing with a chicken.
Rats, but not Miss Mousey.
In my head it was. How about it's the bear from "Emmet Otter"?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Yes, but smaller.
Yes, the guitar player. Same one from "Let Me Go, Lover" in the Alan Arkin episode.
Yes. Why else would I have put it in there?
Yes, but taxis are pretty much alike, are they not?
I actually did forget Diana Krall, Manda got that one.
Also forgot Norah Jones. And the talented, bubbly Kristin Chenoweth.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Well, we've already seen a lot of who I'd have on the show, but here are some new ones (from a long list I compiled, omitting the ones I've already written outlines for):
John C. Reilly
Queen Latifah (she's an excellent singer, if you didn't know)
Lenny Kravitz (now this would be a colorful...
Close enough. You got the joke all right, I just figure their names are Gorgon & Zola Heap. And btw, you were right and TSF was wrong- I envisioned Zola Heap as being Gorgon in drag.
Whatnots, a la "Mr. Cellophane" in the Ben Vereen episode (and maybe George & Mildred).
Yeah, you...
