    Minor Muppetz' TMS outline: Jamie Faar

    If this was an actual episode, here is how a summary would look in the TV listings: "Jamie Faar and Gonzo get trapped inside a balloon." And if this was on one of the Best of The Muppet Show videos/ DVDs, here is what a description would look like: "Jamie Faar: The cross-dresser from...

    A question about Slimey the Worm

    Slimey wasn't in Follow That Bird (or Elmo In Grouchland), but he did make his first appearance in 1980. I have read that he was originally performed by Michael Earl Davis, who also originally performed Forgetful Jones and performed Snuffy from 1977-1980. Martin P. Robinson took over the role in...

    Follow That Bird Discussion Thread

    I wonder why Jerry Nelson just got a "Principle Muppet Performers" credit. The Count had a big role in the movie. Jerry Nelsons credit should have just said "Jerry Nelson as The Count" and either his billing should have been after Frank Oz's credit or in the Muppet Performers section of the...

    The Return of the Dodos

    chapter 12 Elmo, Oscar, and Grungetta ran from Huxleys castle so that they could go to where they saw Daddie Dodo at, but he was already gone by time they got there. "Aw, phooey!", remarked Elmo, Daddies gone!" "Well, we can always find him tomorrow", teased Oscar. "Hey, why didn't...

    which performer should write an autobiography?

    If any more performers get an opportunity to write an autobiography, I hope that they get more controll over their books than Caroll Spinney did. I have read that the company that published it didn't think that an autobiography about a puppeteer would sell very well, so they had him write it as...

    Left out of compilation tapes

    I haven't seen Country Music With The Muppets, but judging by the fact that Jim Nabors wasn't in any of these videos, I would have put "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" on there.

    The Return of the Dodos

    chapter 11 Bug took Elmo, Oscar, Grungetta, and Grizzy to Huxleys castle. "Huxly!", called Bug, "I've brought some company!" "Oh, good, bug", said Huxley, "More people to share with." "You're right about him being nicer", said Oscar, "Yecch!" Huxley walked in. "Oh, Elmo...

    which performer should write an autobiography?

    If we are going to wish for autobiographies by performers who often get overlooked, then how about some by Karen Prell, Louise Gold, and John Lovelady? I have always wanted to know why he stopped working with the muppets. Some people on these boards have mentioned that he wasn't a very good...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    I was thinking, since you were originally supposed to be in the Emmit Otter line, do you think that if you did perform one of the smacharacters, your screen name would be something like "was once wendel" or "Was once a lobster"?
