Kinggodzillak- Already started a 'Worst TMS guests' thread a while ago. It's around here somewhere. I myself kinda liked the Liberace episode. The mood and feel of it was nice, and I thought it was at least interesting for the guest's appearance to be saved for the end. Sometimes tweaks...

Zero Mostel taped his episode at the end of May/beginning of June. He died Saturday night, September 8, 1977, the day before he would've opened as Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. He had been hospitalized for a week before he died and his death followed three months of a crash...

I recently obtained a copy of the episode "A Cave of One's Own" and it shows Red and Mokey hanging out in Gobo & Wembley's room. Apparently they're there so much that Gobo and Wembley suggest they find a cave of their own. But my question is, where did they live before? It seems almost like...

There are a handful of Sesame Street clips that I'm having a hard time finding. When I don't know titles, I'll describe them in detail. -A purple soprano (Richard Hunt) sings F-AN, eventually spelling fan (which then blows her wig off), then sings N-ET, eventually spelling net (which gets...

Nicely done. I especially liked the closing comment, the stuff with Bo, and though I've never seen "Where's Charley?" the idea of Fozzie in drag sounds like a good one- in a comedy career that's included impressions, ventriloquism, phrenology, mime, puppetry and even a memory act, it's one act...

In the middle of the first season, Jerry took about five weeks off before the break, most likely to come back to the states to be with his daughter, who suffered a debilitating illness. During this time, from episodes 11-15, Peter Friedman filled in as puppeteer (and you'll notice that none of...

Well the sun goes down The tide goes out The people gather round and they all begin to shout "Hey, hey, Uncle Bud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud" What a dance Do they do Lordy, how I'm tellin' you They don't...

I just came from www.palisadestoys.com and I just HAD to come here and post. Check out the comparison shots in today's bit. Ken, I have to hand it to you and the Palisades guys. The re-shaping of Gonzo's head to it's correct shape and fullness, the tucking of his fur behind his eyelids, the...

This year I started a collection of vintage B & W 8X10 Muppet Show photos, specifically from the first season. I've only got 3 so far- Florence Henderson and the monsters, the Mummenschanz in the Talk Spot set with Kermit, and Bruce Forsyth with the Gawky Bird. I'm expecting the pic of Joel...

I just got the Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas 1996 video release out of my local library, and I noticed some different editing than the Nickelodeon broadcast version. Just before the end, where Ma and Emmet and the jug-band sing in the Riverside Rest, the camera pans over to Kermit, who...

Packaging pics? Ken, It seems that on the Series 4 packaging, pics of the puppets are no longer used, rather they're just pics of the figures. Why is that? On the Series 5 prototype packages, the puppets were pictured with the exception of Pepe. Is this how it is going to go down, or...

Ken, Are the Swinetrek pics that were just put on the site old or new? I ask because they have the regular starfield viewscreen and last I heard you hadn't yet gotten to seeing if you could set that one as the default background. What's the status? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

The Johnny Cash episode was among the episodes recently released on video in the UK (but not in the U.S., and not by Time-Life). I forgot which company it was that was supposedly picking up the DVD releases and adding 5 more volumes, but does anyone have any info on that? David "Gorgon...

I'm glad you liked it. It actually took a while before I came around to Lenny. I was going to use one of the Frackles, but they were kind of used a lot in Season Two so I tried to think of another background character who could be used and after a little while I remembered Lenny. I liked the...

One little addition (you might call it that): Picture the set from the opening number on the Don Knotts episode, "Sweet Gingerbread Man". This would be the set that begins the 'Knight in Shining Armor sketch', the part with Jack and Miss Mousey. The rest of the sets would be the same in...

You took the words right out of my mouth. I hope Robin the action figure looks just like that! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

My sixth TMS outline was completed just moments ago, after months of sweat! The guest is character actor Jack Gilford, twice Tony-nominated for originating the roles of nervous slave Hysterium in the Sondheim musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and of Herr Schmidt in...

UK Spot, Andy Williams episode. That sketch supplied by yours truly (glad to see those UK Spots are finally online now). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I think I know... a drum with Fraggle Rock on it, right? I used to have one, not sure if I still do. I'll check the garage and let you know. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Piggy singing "I Will Survive" on Koozebane... I like it. I sorta used a lot of songs that people mentioned in some outlines- BlueAM, I made "Up, Up and Away" the closing number of my Paul Lynde outline, only it takes place in an WWII airplane w/the Electric Mayhem playing and singing...
