Thank you so much for the compliments, Philip. As to your questions, in this outline I never decided which Muppets appear in those sketches. I could go back and flesh it out at some point but don't hold your breath for it- writing is one of the few avenues of my life in which I'm always...

TSF actually got a couple of these right- only those 3 monsters were planning to eat Lee, and Sweetums, Thog and Timmy are the only other monsters in the closing #. As for the rest of your questions, I never decided which characters appear in "At the Dance" or "Anyone Can Whistle". Never...

Specifically, how did the Muppeteers puppeteer the large-mouthed monsters, since their mouths were obviously larger than the human hand? Not to mention how they were able to puppeteer the monsters who ate other characters- how do you puppeteer a monster puppet when another puppet is being...

At the Muppet convention, this was one of the trivia questions: they said his real name was Jerome 'Doc' Crystal (anyone notice the pun in there?) David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Let's hear it for 'the man'- literally, the only 'man' who was a regular part of the series on-screen (I am referring to the US/Canadian version, aware that other actors played the part in other countries). Parkes's Doc was energetic, gentle, odd, lovably grouchy, humorous, wise but flawed...

Surprised to see so many of the same shows on the lists. I've always loved "Battle of Leaking Roof" but it was also the first episode I ever had on tape. Of course, it also reminds me of why I used to be scared of the Gorgs- lots of eye movements. Still, funny moments and I like Pa's song...

Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, Scooter, Animal, Bunsen, Hilda, and George. These are essentially the same question- all others characters in the sketch form the tableau. They are as follows: Nigel, Scooter, Janice, a chicken, a frog, a pig, and a few Whatnot men and women. No passengers...

Boppity and Gloat. Probably the main reason that I don't specify character names all that often is b/c only a few of us folks around here will know them- if I send the link to a friend who is only casually Muppet-acquainted, and the outline is populated with character names he or she has...

Luncheon Counter Monster, Boppity, and Gloat. Nope, just Whatnot kids. Same as above. Fish-like Koozebanian, Phoob, silver-headed monster (from the Alice Cooper band) and Chopped Liver Monster. I guess. Either that or the (virtually) inanimate ones from "The Great Santa Claus...

TotallySpiesFan, please stop answering questions that are addressed to me!. If the answers you're giving are how you visualize it, fine, but you're not a mind reader, so please don't presume to speak on my behalf- it's past annoying. I kinda got the idea for this from a mattress commercial...

The big gator. No they didn't- new made-up character. Yes, as are the barbers. Napoleon's soldiers are chickens, naturally. Wellington's are some of the small monsters- Boppity, Gloat, and Droop. It was Matt's. Never really gave it much thought, but yeah, there'd be some of...

TotallySpiesFan: please stop answering questions that are addressed to me. I would sincerely appreciate it. Yes. They all look pretty alike to me. Gerri & the Atrics piano player. Yes. Generic. Yes it is, in this number, "At the Dance", the closing number, and the...

Incorrect, TSF. As you may recall from this quote: And the fact that Kermit tries to get Gonzo to let them out. As to who else is in there, I never decided. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I love the ever-evolving visual design of TMS, and so last month I went through all the credits and compiled a list of episodes sorted by Art Director (to try and peg the visual trends). I forgot to post it until now. Here it is: David Chandler: Connie Stevens Juliet Prowse Joel Grey...

Cass Elliott- late Season One (circa Twiggy, Kaye Ballard) Buddy Hackett- mid-Season Two (circa Madeline Kahn) Burl Ives- mid-Season One (circa Bruce Forsyth, Sandy Duncan) Tennessee Ernie Ford- mid-Season One (circa Charles Aznavour) Leon Redbone- late Season Three John Ritter- late Season...

Wow, I've been away from this thread for a while. Actually Philip, I didn't make a whole lot of decisions regarding which monsters where. TSF got a few things right- Dr. Heap DOES eat the patients, and LCM is the monster chef. And upon TSF's suggestion, I think I would have Beautiful Day...

Links and lyrics: Five O’Clock World Up every mornin’ just to keep a job I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob Sounds of the city poundin’ in my brain While another day goes down the drain But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time...

Flip Wilson, 4/15/05 David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I should think that Flip needs little introduction. He was the first African-American to successfully host his own variety show, which ran for four years. During that time, the Muppets made numerous guest appearances. Submitted for your approval: "It's The Muppet Show, with our very...

I would think Boober would've married Tosh (it was clear they had a mutual attraction in the episode "A Tune for Two"). I'd be surprised if they had a lot of children, tho; I can just imagine it- "Children? Ecchh! They're so- so noisy, and messy, and germ-ridden, and- and- just unsanitary!"...
