    do you remember???

    Not even the home video copy of the Vincent Price episode had the original opening credits:( David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    do you remember???

    I can. Said version was how they did the credits in the first season. The arches with the lights around them came in the second season and stayed through the run of the show. From the TNT run onward, these opening credits sequences have been excised. I asked Henson.com, and the answer I...

    Another TMS Outline

    YESSS!!! An episode where Thog has a major role! Be still my heart. Never liked the song "The Rose", and not crazy about "Wind Beneath My Wings", but hey, liked the episode besides that. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    What Muppets were you scared of as a Kid?

    I did not notice this thread! Which is actually kinda funny, because I JUST said that when I was a kid I had this HUGE fear of the Trash Heap from Fraggle Rock. Sure, she was a nice trash heap, but dang! She was scary looking! Ditto! Scary, and gross. First post mentioned a fear of Junior...

    What Muppets were you scared of as a Kid?

    punkNpuppets- I'm still afraid Thog, but i wasn't afraid of him as a kid Not understanding the syntax of this sentence. Do you mean you're afraid OF Thog? I didn't think (forum member) Thog had posted in this topic. If it is Thog you're afraid of, or were afraid of, I have a tough time...

    What Muppets were you scared of as a Kid?

    Hugga Wugga, Sweetums on occasion, lots of acts in Muppet Weird Stuff ("All Of Me", "Hugga Wugga", "You Do Something To Me", "I've Got You Under My Skin"), I think possibly Gorgon Heap too. Worst one has got to be the Letter E from Sesame Street's Letter of the Day. I always changed the...

    I love Fozzie.

    I don't think Fozzie is at all like Milton Berle. Fozzie only dressed in drag once, for one thing. Second, Milton Berle came across as a seasoned pro, and at times a very confident and even egomaniacal one, to say the least. Fozzie acted like a newbie all the time, optimistic but just trying...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    What's the SKU and UPC for the Series 2 case pack? Also, Ken, how goes the stage playset? Are you planning on doing any backdrops? If so, how do you plan to work them? Which ones? You mentioned the TMS logo drop, and Fozzie's monologue backdrop, and I mentioned plain black, plain blue...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Anybody know where there are any pics of painted Floyd w/trimmed mustache? Saw a prototype pic of Floyd w/mustache trim with only the mustache painted, but wanted to know if the fully painted final version had been shown. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Weezer video voices

    Response Just got this email today: Dear David, I don't have a "who performed who" credit list, but here are the puppeteers and handlers that were involved in the Weezer shoot: Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobsen, Bill Barretta, Drew Massey, Bruce Lanoil, Dave Goelz, Alice Dinnean, Jane...

    Lookit a pig is flying!

    ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!! You've started thread after thread stating the same thing over and over again! We get it! You think that Miss Piggy is supposed to be Hot Lips Houlihan from MASH. We get it! You're entitled to your opinion, but what are you doing forcing it down our throats at every...

    What's that episode???

    It is John Cleese, but I just wanted to comment on something. They sing "This is your guest" as a pun on the line "This is my quest" from the song "The Impossible Dream", which was the song the Muppets planned for John to do (but he refused- in the episode, anyway; it's part of the plot). If...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Sounds like good news all, Ken. Especially like the fact you're considering a playbill for Statler or Waldorf- gives some variety to them, giving them different accessories aside from the chairs. Teacup & saucer should be considered, too. OK, here's another question for you. What, from...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    "Great Balls Of Fire"--Jerry Lee Lewis (Dr. Teeth on vocals) Of course. Good choice. And Skeeter- Your suggestion of a possible jam session between the Electric Mayhem and the jug-band- I had two ideas for such collaborations: "Sweet City Woman" and possibly "Black Water"...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    Great Gonzo- just don't steal that idea Another one: "People Are Strange" by the Doors Years ago I came up with an idea in which Gonzo is in charge of the show. He puts on all these weird acts, and people who have just wandered into the theater, and cancels all the regular features...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    "Spinning Wheel" by Earth, Wind and Fire (Floyd main vocals) "Louie, Louie" (main vocals by Animal) More as I think of them. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    They are still angled and will not be strightened out. Henson wanted it that way, and I agreed with them. Besides, for as many photos as you can show me of his glasses straight, I can show you as many with his glasses angled. That is the nature of this line...there are SO many different...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, What do you mean by test shots? Is this with tooling or what? The more important question I have to ask, and I recall asking it a few months ago but can't recall the response or if there was one at that time, are Zoot's glasses going to be straightened out? As you're well aware it...

    Speaking of Ren and Stimpy knockoffs...

    I concur You can huff and puff until you're blue in the face, but you're not going to blow the door down. Drop it!
