    Green Hunchback Frackle appearances on "The Muppet Show"

    Actually I don't think said Frackle was redesigned; several new Frackles were built in Season Five and that was one of them. The original one was green and stripy and had a tail; the fifth season one was blue with green hair and long claws. As to the latter Frackle's appearances, add the...

    Fraggle,Frackle: monster problems

    I think I only heard one person ever confuse Fraggle and Frackle around here. Don't worry, you're among the hardcore fans who know the difference. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Boy oh boy! Ken, I gotta hand it to you once again. First Koozebane Kermit, then the great turnaround from proto to final on Series 3, then the Swedish Kitchen, my reaction to which included having to restrain myself from promising you my firstborn child, then the Jim Henson Muppet, then the...

    Gorgon Heap

    It seems appropriate that I should field this question. I don't know when Gorgon Heap was built or if it was specifically for TMS, but I think he may have been in the background (the VERY background) of the Sex & Violence pilot. His first TMS appearance was in the episode with Joel Grey...

    Wayne & Wanda?

    Like the man said, Wayne was performed by Richard Hunt, Wanda by Eren Ozker (both of whom are sadly no longer with us, both lost to AIDS). When Eren Ozker left for the U.S. after Season One, to get married, the act Wayne & Wanda was dropped, although Wayne put in a handful of appearances in...

    Why did these "Tales from Muppetland" characters not appear on "The Muppet Show"

    Especially Lothar. I finally figured out a way to use him in a Muppet Show outline! More on that as I develop it. Gotta get back to work on these, I promised one a while ago that's been sitting ever since. Got a lot of hours at work though. Well, ya can't rush inspiration. Don't know...

    Great Santa Claus Switch pics, character descriptions

    Does anyone know where I can find pics and character descriptions from The Great Santa Claus Switch online? I remember a site with pics from it a while back- anybody have the link to that? Anyone know of a site with character descriptions, i.e. one of Lothar? I need it for an upcoming...

    Best TMS guest stars

    A matched set with the 'Worst TMS guest stars' thread. Here are my picks: Rita Moreno: a richly deserved Emmy win for her sparkling and varied performance; she goes from expertly acted and executed slapstick to a sharp, catty dialected character to amiably being herself to trying to keep her...

    Worst TMS guest stars

    I was just thinking about it, so I figured I'd start a thread. Here are my picks: Bruce Forsyth: I've been planning to write an article about him and his episode for Tough Pigs, but my main points are: he's goofy, grating, insincere, a show-off and a phony Marisa Berenson: not an insult...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, a few questions for you: Actually first a comment. I got the Swedish Kitchen today. I kept picking it up and sitting there looking at it in the box. When I got it all out and squared everything away, something strange happened. I went over and first of all grabbed Scooter and Beaker...

    Album cover foldouts?

    I'm debating on which version of The Muppet Show Albums 1 & 2 to try to buy on Ebay. As I recall The Muppet Show 2, Gatefold/US version, doesn't have the foldout cover revealing pictures of all the Muppets in the arches. This match up with what everyone else knows? Second, I have never seen...

    The Muppet Show Alternate Openings

    Daffyfan- All the Time-Life first season eps use second season openings. Vincent Price and Rita Moreno use the Bob Hope opening, Mummenschanz uses the Bernadette Peters opening, I think Juliet Prowse uses the Milton Berle opening (I would have to double-check, I don't watch it now that I...

    Where can I get Series 4 cheaper than EBGames?

    EBGames.com is now charging $8.99 per fig, up from $7.99. Does anyone know another reliable online retailer that's selling them cheaper than that? Thanks. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    And the new retailer is...... ?

    Two weeks later and still nothing, huh? Or did I just miss it last week while taking care of my mom's incontinent puppy? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Who was THAT purple bird character?

    Actually Trevor is green. He has a big funky orange bill and orange horns/ears on the sides of his head as well as semi-googly eyes (but the pupils don't move; they just look googly/goofy). I don't have a picture, but I think I may have seen one on the net. Sit tight, maybe someone will come...
