So are you saying that they are all stored on the master tapes of the episodes and not on individual tapes, like how a commercial might be stored? I wonder if the various sketches actually have titles. I can think up titles for many skits, but some sketches seem too hard for me to think of a...

I also first knew about Little Muppet Monsters (and Sam and Friends, and The Ed Sullivan Show, and The Jimmy Dean Show, and The Jack Paar Show, and The Cher Show, and Wilkins Coffee, and La Choy Chow Mein) thanks to this special. A few months after seeing this special, I got a book, The Story of...

These were mostly unedited Noggin episodes. Yes, there are two episodes known to be edited, but the edits that we do know of were shown on Noggin. If volume two focuses on the same time period, then I hope it includes episodes that were not shown on Noggin, such as the second episode (or another...

Mike Quinn, Karen Prell, Jerry Nelson, and Louise Gold were credited. Could these have been different people who just happened to ahev the same names as various Muppet performers... nah...:smirk:

It's been a long time since I've seen Boogie in the Barnyard, so I don't remember him singing half a line that Janice started. And while the Muppet Morsels say that it's hard for other puppeteers to upstage Frank Oz in a scene, I think it's hard for any Muppet to upstage Lips in his scenes...

Well, I consider Lips to be a member, but I don't consider Clifford to be a member. He was originally part of another band, Solid Foam, and was only part of The Electric Mayhem in one special and one publicity photo, and nothing else (he wasn't even part of the band in the Disney stage shows...

I think it makes perfect sense that the first set focuses on the first five season premiers, and I think it's just a coincidence that in these episodes Roosevelt only made a one-line cameo and a few more background appearances. The Count, Herry Monster, and Prairie Dawn don't make too many...

I wonder why it wasn't released on video in the US. Did the UK pay more attention to the 30th anniversary? Do you know if the video has any edits (I suppose some of the variety show and commercial clips might have been cut)?

I think it's best that every episode didn't end with the guest star getting a Muppet likeness of themselves. And it is better that Kermit doesn't wear a tuxedo as often as he did in the first season, though it would be cool if he wore it a few more times after the first season.

Does the booklet include pictures of any characters not included, such as Scooter, Janice, Clifford, Johnny Fiama, Sal, or others?

Some of my least favorite pre-1990 productions/ moments featuring the Muppets include: *The Glutton sketch from The Ed Sullivan Show. *The Muppet Show episodes with Rudolph Nueyev, Pearl Baley, Carol Channing, and John Denver. I am a bit mixed over my feelings about the Elton John and...

I don't remember that scene. Can anybody tell me if this was cut from the Nickelodeon airing of the special (I've only seen this special on Nickelodeon).

Was Tim Burton a puppeteer of some sort at the time? I wonder if Tim Burton would even be able to tell us who he performed (I'm sure that he would remember what his character(s) looked like, but would he know it's name(s))?

It seems like they weren't there very much in the special. I don't think they were even in any of the wide shots of the audience. I only remember them being in their cameo and in the scene with Jim Henson at the end. Henson must have been really careful about them being in the special. It...

Janice isn't the only member left out. I don't think Lips is on this album, either;) (do any of the Electric Mayhem numbers feature prominent trumpet solos or prominent trumpet sounds?).

(Ernie is walking and humming. He walsk past Lefty) Lefty: Psst, hey, bud. Ernie: Who, me? Lefty: Shhh!! Ernie: (whispering) Who, me? Lefty: Riiiiight. I've got an incredible offer for you. Ernie: Really? Lefty: It's incredible! It's spectacular! It's stupendious! Ernie: What is...

(Oscar the Grouch is walking on a street in foggy weather) Oscar: Ah, what a beautiful day! I like the fog. (thunder strikes) And it sounds like it is going to rain soon. (Lefty walks up to Oscar) Lefty: Psst! Hey, bud... Oscar: (shouting) I'm not your bud! (Lefty makes a Shhhh noise)...

Harvey Kneeslapper: (starts laughing, and then notices the audience watching) Oh, hello, there. I have a great joke planned for tonight. Yeah, you see, I am going to go up to somebody and ask, "Do you like beets?", and when he or she says that he or she does, I am going to start beating that...

I never noticed that the closing theme was ever different. Was the first season closing theme replaced in CBS repeats, syndication, and/ or Nickelodeon broadcasts? I could see Little Muppet Monsters being released. Only 18 episodes were made. Even if people don't know about it, the Muppets...

It's also dissapointing that none of their songs were included in Count it Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street. I wonder if With Every Beat of my Heart or Four were ever broadcast on the show, or if they were only recorded for albums.
