It's hard to just pick one favorite. On most shows, my favorites are usually at least the first and last seasons. It's really interesting to watch and compare the differences between a first and last season episode. However, my favorite seasons of The Muppet Show are the first, third, and...

Well, it's friday. Did you get to do your interview? How was it? I think it would be too obvious to ask to post the answers....

I just watched the Julie Andrews episode again, and the purple monster I was referring to is not a heap. In fact, I don't ever remember seeing it anywhere else (maybe it's in the finales for The Muppet Movie and The Muppets take Manhattan). Did he appear anywhere else? It would be ridiculous to...

The 1999 special Sesame Street Unpaved also featured clips from the sales piece. By the way, regarding performers, Jim Henson performed Grump (Frank Oz would eventually perform him), and Frank Oz performed the blue guy who suggested titles like "The two and two are five show", "The Two and...

I was counting The Best of Muppets Tonight. I will count all episodes here (actual order may vary) 1. Michelle Phieffer 2. Garth Brookes 3. Billy Crystal 4. John Goodman 5. Cindy Crawford 6. Tony Bennet 7. Sandra Bullock 8. Jason Alexander 9. Whoopi Goldberg 10. Martin...

I don't recall Luncheon Counter Monster being in Julie Andrew's cold opening, but he was in the closing number. There was also a purple monster in the cold opening. It's been awhile since I last watched that episode, but I think it might have been a heap (I haven't watched that episode since I...

Minor anal-retentive correction: There were 22 episodes, not 23. I wish there were 23 (or 24) episodes.

When you say that ABC kept changing the time slot, it sounds like you are saying that it's timeslot changed frequently (as ine very few weeks or days), but in fact, ABC only changed the time slot once (you do live in North America, right? Because other countries might have had different time...

My favorties are the first one with Fozzie, the one with kermit, the one with Beauregard, the one with the duck, the one with the hiccupping patient, the one with Behemoth, and the one with the cow.

I don't know why there were two completely different songs titled Air on Sesame Street (both of which were performed by Jim Henson characters). I'm sure that Bip Bipadotta's version came first. A clip from that was included in Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, from April 1989 (so the...

Just because it was a little home video production instead of The Muppet Show does not mean that it couldn't have had more recognizable characters (I'm sure that a lot of the newer characters had to be built for this production, and they could have saved money by using older, mre recognizable...

Yeah, I only listed Hilda as a character who could have been in that skit because she was a wardrobe lady and I kinda think someone with that job would fit the role of a made perfectly. Also, she didn't do much on-stage, so if she acted as badly as Miss Piggy did in that sketch it would possibly...

Did you forget to list a song for The Count, or were you unable to think of one? If you revise this outline, a good song to include would be Rock Around the Clock.

Even though Strangepork is bald? While there weren't really any female monsters on The Muppet Show, there was a female monster, Fern, on The Jim Henson Hour. There was also a female monster, Aretha, who first appeared in a Fraggle Rock episode and then made a cameo in The Muppet Christmas...

I was reading the listing of ages in Sesame Beginnings and thought, if Cookie Monster is younger than Big Bird, then he must be a child on Sesame Street, since Big Bird is six, but then Baby Elmo is only six months younger than baby Big Bird, and on Sesame Street Elmo is three. So either the...

Yes, they were dancing in both Pigs in Space and in the backstage scene before it, for no apparant reason, though Link did dance with Annie Sue in an earlier scene. I wonder if Link would have been disqualified for switching partners (or maybe he and Annie Sue already got disqualified and Link...

The Green Frackle in drag was named Gloat. The Blue Frackle who had his head knocked off was called Boppity. Sesame Street has had a lot of female monsters throughout the years, though now that I think of it, I don't think there were many regular female monsters on Sesame Street at he time...

I just found out on another message board that our very own member Earl Kress, AKA Was Once Ernie, has just started his own weblog. Here is the link: http://mynameisearlkress.com/weblog/

Has anybody noticed that on The Muppet Show, unlike Sesame Street, there were hardly any female monsters? The closest thing to a female monster is Mean Mama, who was sometimes portrayed as a male but also often as a female. Of course, it could be said that she was a woman who people mistakenly...

It's also a shame that they didn't include the alternate Connie Stevens episode.
