Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
The first time that I remember seeing Slimey talk was in the episode where Slimey came back from the moon. Oscar and Slimey had a conversation before Slimey went to bed. Of course, Slimey did talk in the early 1980s book The City Worm and the Country Worm, but I don't think that counts.
I was thinking the same thing. Of course, I'd only seen that ending a few times before having the DVD (I had taped the episode on Nickelodeon, but my tape stopped halfway before it ended, during What a Wonderful World).
I wonder what would have happened if Wayne and Wanda did an act in that episode. Would Fozzie have thought of their failure as being his fault? Ditto for if this episode had a Muppet News segment.
A better question is have any of us Muppet fans ever seen any pictures of Jerry Nelson without a beard? I wouldn't be surprised if he's had a beard longer than Jim Henson has.
Here are the missed questions. After it was said that it would be okay to post three questions at a time, I added two additional questions, before the last set of questions (or last two... I'm too lazy right now to check how many sets it was) were answered. Here they are.
I didn't catch that. If it is six episodes (I doubt it would be seven or eight episodes), I wonder how it will be decided which season should have more featured episodes. If it's the season premiers, then there would be one episode that we won't know is included until the first review comes out...
Chapter 9
It was time for the next show, and Animal was about to go on.
"Well, it's time for my next solo", said Animal, "Wish me luck, everybody".
"Good luck", said the other Mupepts, some sarcastically, some not.
Animal came on-stage, and started playing his violin. He sounded...
Of course, in the case of that character, there is a source that she was called "Trumpet Girl" in the scripts, and that source is an "Ask Henson.com" question about her. The Mupet Morsles don't mention this fact (it just says that she wass never given a proper name). But there aren't any...
Back when Nickelodeon aired reruns of The Muppet Show, the UK spots would usually be shown, but other segments would be cut, presumably for time, but I wonder how often Nickelodeon chose to cut something because of content (in addition to time). I thought I'd start this threat to speculate on...
When was that?
I think Animal acted out of character during the "At the Dance" segment in the Rich Little episode. He is actually helpless there, and he didn't seem to enjoy any of the abuse he got.
Yeah, and it's a shame that none of us hardcore fans know what the Solid Foam Drummer's "official" name is (I wonder if she officially had a proper name that just wasn't mentioend on-screen on The Jim Henson Hour, or if her design sketch and the scripts just called her somethign like "Solid Foam...
I would like to share some nitpicks about the Nancy Walker episode.
First of all, Fozzie was concerned about the wall that got blown up during the opening number. However, that wasn't Fozzie's fault. It was the fault of the performers in the opening number. That would have happened even if...
Chapter 7
The newspaper reviews were in within days. Kermit was reading the newspaper backstage.
"'Animal is a brilliant violin player'", read Kermit, "His violin playing is music to my ears. I will be going to the Muppet theater every week from now on, as long as Animal is performing. On a...
Chapter 5
The band was backstage, watching Animal's performance. Lips was blowing his nose.
"What's his problem?", asked the Solid Foam Drummer.
"Oh, Lips is still sad because Animal is no longer part of our band", said Floyd.
"Oh", said the Solid Foam Drummer, "I thought he was...
Chapter 4
Soon, it was time for Animal's firs tbig violin performance. Kermit came on-stage to introduce him.
"And now, here is Animal playing, believe it or not, the violin. Yayyyyyyyy!", said Kermit.
The audience cringed at the thought of Animal playing the violin.
Animal came...
Chapter 3
Animal soon came back to the Muppet Theater, but now he wore a black tuxedo, a monicle, and a top hat.
"Good day, Kermit", said Animal.
"Animal, is that you?", asked Kermit.
"Oh, yeah, it is me, dearest Kermit", said Animal, "I have been learnignt o play the violin, and I...
Chapter 2
Animal was rushed to the emergency room. Dr. Teeth, Floyd, and Janice waited in the lobby.
"Oh, I hope nothing is wrong with him", said Dr. Teeth.
"Neither do I", said Floyd, "I always expected Zoot to be the first one of us to die."
"Like, it's too bad that I'm not, like...
If the Panel Discussions continued after season one, I think that those sketches would have been great opportunities for J.P. Grosse and Fleet Scribbler to have been used.
