I loooove Cocount Fred! :)
Coconut Fred- Gonzo
Slip and Slide D'Peel- Andy and Randy
Bingo Cherry- Prairie Dawn (yes, she's a girl, but I think her precocious, I-know-more-than-you attitude works for Bingo)
Mr. Greenrind- Sam the Eagle
Wedgie- Statler
Bunga Berry- Animal
Slurpy- Cookie Monster...
Just one big silly lack of continuity. :)
I think part of it is that most of the Muppets were not yet established as specific characters. I don't mean "not established" only in terms of what the audience knew them as, but also the writers and performers didn't quite have a handle on many of...
Well, he does appear backstage fairly often; as a group with the other musicians, or going on or coming off stage. But you are right, I don't remember many times where he talked, sang or any other way interacted with the others.
Was he part of the group that threatened to quit in the Kaye...
I watched the Edgar Bergen episode a few nights ago and had a question. I noticed that Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd seemed really in character from what I have seen of them before (which is, I admit, not very much), and just wondered: did Mr. Bergen help write their dialogue for the...
What are some of your least favorite musical numbers on The Muppet Show? Most of the show is solid gold (or at least silver in the first season), but there are a few moments every now and then that are just annoying or stupid or too weird to be interesting. Here are the two that leave me cold...
Tracy: Annie Sue
Penny: Prairie Dawn
Corny Colins: Kermit
Prudy: Mildred Huxtetter
Velma Von Tussle: Miss Piggy
Edna: Rowlf
Wilbur: Gonzo
Link: Scooter
Amber: Spamela Hamderson
Seaweed: Roosevelt Franklin
Motormouth Maybelle: Big Mamma
Next... West Side Story
Tony (ex-gang member, who has...
Okay, I don't even have the foggiest idea what Homestar Runner is, but I wanted to get in on the game, so let's see what I can come up with using Zooty's character descriptions:
Homestar: Link Hogthrob
Strong Bad: Gonzo
Marzipan: Janice
Strong Sad: Bobo
Strong Mad: Sweetums
The Cheat: Little...
I have been rewatching Season 1, and I am struck again and again by Muppets acting out of character. I know that in S1, the characters were still developing and weren't as polished as they are now, but it still catches me off-guard how cruel Kermit can be, how stupid Fozzie can be, and how many...
I really like "Love Led us Here". It is very sweet, very pretty, and very underestimated.
Incidentally, I always disliked it in MTI that the editing included shots of the pirates finding the treasure with this song. I think it detracts from the nature of the song, and Kermit and Piggy's...
Dr. Teeth got a few solos throughout TMS. I'm thinking "Poison Ivy", "Money", and "Cheesecake" (although he was joined by some monsters for that one).
I think Zoot was featured pretty well during the movies and TMS, but since he doesn't speak much, he isn't very memorable... especially to...
I love Titus Andronicus. It has no subtlety whatsoever, and yet is still so rich. I find Lavinia to be one of the most tragic figures in all of literature, and think Tamora is a nice precursor to Lady Macbeth.
I agree that it is underrated and underperformed. A lot of people really hate it...
Uuum... would you say that singing chickens, a boomerang fish thrower, a green furry guy who lives in a trash can, a pig in love with a frog, a six-foot canary with the mentality of a six-year old, a bear who wears a polka-dot tie and tells jokes, and a blue daredevil with a hooked nose are...
