I know, but the letter sponsors (W,S, and E) were in a more random order, as opposed to alphabetical, while the number sponsors were in numerical order. I sense that this thread is getting off topic. Maybe we should start a new thread about the numbers 0, 1, 13-19, and 21-40.

Chapter 6 Kermit still had his head stuck in the saxaphone. "Oh, good grief", thought Kermit, "Investors are comming over to see if they want to buy some stuff and I have this saxaphone stuck on my head." Rizzo and Pepe walked past Kermit. "Ha ha", said Rizzo, "I'm glad that I'm...

I just watched Upstairs, Downstairs.... and I still don't know what sketch featured the introduction seen in a clip montage in Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting (which was a different room than usual). So I guess that introduction was from Me Claudius (for those who want to confirm, in the...

Actually, Grover first appeared in the first season, but he was gray green back then, and apparantly he was just a random, nameless monster. However, while I believe that I've read that he didn't seem to have much of a personality in the first season, I do know of three sketches where he his...

Back when Monsterpiece Theater sketches were in production, does anybody know how many different skits would be made each year? I was just thinking about this subject. I've read that the series began in 1982 (though that could be wrong... and some have said that the first one seems to have been...

Chapter 5 Everybody got ready for breakfast the next morning. Bunsen went to tell Kermit the bad news. "Kermit, I have some bad news", said Bunsen, "It turns out that the vanishing cream is water proof!" "Oh, no", said Kermit, "Beaker is still invisible." Beaker then walked by...

I wonder why certain numbers were skipped. So you're saying that one didn't start sponsoring the show untill the 1980s? That would explain why so many recurring counting sketches (Pinball Number Count, Jazz, Country Fiddler, Number Painter) didn't have individual segments for one (though The...

Don't quote me on this, but I think there are some wires inside the head that Spinney can put his fingers on to move the eyes. Or maybe they are remote controlled. I've read that Sweetums' eyes are remote controlled, and I've seen a picture once, but he never gets credited with having two...

Chapter 4 It was time for the closing number. Kermit called into the intercom, "Monsters! On stage next!" The various monsters then came running, and they all bumped or tripped over Beaker, not being able to see him. "Oops! Sorry", said Sweetums. "What the...?", said Doglion...

Rubber Duckie and C is for Cookie have both been remade a few times. In addition to the original Rubber Duckie, Little Richard sang a cover of it in the early 1990s, a newly-filmed version featuring kids taking baths while Ernie's recording plays as the soundtrack was filmed in the 1990s, and in...

There is one person inside Big Bird, who wears a monitor on his chest to see what he is doing. There is also a small hole, covered by the feathers, that the performer looks out of to see what he is doing as well. The performer holds his right arm up into the head, and his left arm operates the...

Chapter 3 The show had gone on. Statler and Waldorf were making really bad comments. "So, what do you hate the most out of what has been performed so far?", asked Waldorf. "Oh, I hate that bear, I hate that drummer, and I hate that cute bunny", said Statler, "But who I really hate the...

I wonder why those new segments always use a jack-in-the-box. Why not do something new for each number? Maybe have somebody pull out a sheet of paper with one number on it, use a slot machine for another number, have the number of the day appear in a lottery-type situation (but there'd only be...

In recent years it seems like most songs have been remade to be modernized, though during the early years it seems like there wasn't too much concern about whether something was dated. I wouldn't be surprised if skits with the original orange Oscar or green Grover stopped being shown after the...

Don't think fans will forget about Beaker. He's been one of the most popular characters for years. He still appears in major Muppet productions (though I can't think of anything he's been in since The Muppets Wizard of Oz). There is going to be a new Disney attraction featuring him. I don't...

Chapter 2 The curtains went down and Muppet Labs was over. "What a breakthrough!", said Bunsen, "It finally worked!" "Mee mee", said Beaker. Beauregard then entered. "Hey, Bunsen, have you seen Beaker anywhere?", asked Beauregard, "We have to put together the next set."...

How about a Muppet Boarding House, made to look like the one from Mupepts From Space. Visitors can come in and walk around the house and see the bedrooms of the other Muppets. The TV in the living room can play nonstop Henson programming.

Chapter 1 Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker were getting ready for their next performance. They were both nervous ajnd excited at the same time. "Oh, this is exciting", said Bunsen, "After that Vanishing Cream Beaker action figure exclusive was made, our fans have been wanting us to make an...

Good idea. Here are some ways that some of the songs could have been performed: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother: a very small monster could carry a very big monster. You've Gotta Friend: It could be started by Bob and then have Bob joined by Maria, Luis, Gordon, Susan, Big Bird, Ernie...
