    Non-singing guests

    Johnathan Winters didn't do a song either. neither did the Mummenshaz (and I guess Shields and Yarnell didn't, either) or Senor Wenches.

    "Doin Things That Doozers Do" on Ebay

    Well, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but according to the Muppet Central Collectibles Guide, Doozer Music is only 16 minutes long. What do you mean that Jim Henson didn't care about the main five fraggles?

    where did you first hear about these productions?

    Could that singer have been Louise Gold? after all, she did perform on all three of those shows, and she is also a singer. I would also like to bring up how I learned about a few more productions: I first heard about the Land Of Tinkerdee by reading an article on Muppet central about a...

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    In the case of instrumental songs, couldn't they replace the music if they couldn't use it? I am not sure whether Disney has access to copies of the show that were made before the music was added so I don't know if just replacing music would be easy for instrumental songs that have dialog during...

    How Would You Feel If...

    although it would be ridiculous to remake a muppet movie, it would be funny if a remake of one of the first three movies was produced and the muppets kept refferencing the fact that it was a remake, possibly a parody of remakes. It would make since for the great muppet caper (they kept talking...

    "Doin Things That Doozers Do" on Ebay

    No "doozer music"? well, looking at the contents and features, I guess this means that the 1984 video Doozer Music (which is way shorter than Fraggle Songs, which was on "where it all began") won't be included, unless that is the bonus episode (which would be a bit ridiculous, since it isn't...

    Caper Credits: "And me!"

    That is weird considering that Zoot had more lines in this movie than in any other muppet movie (and many of his lines were actually full sentences). it is also weird because Lips spoke one of his few lines in this scene (his other lines in the movie were spoken when the gang at the happiness...

    Ideas for a possible 4-disc TMS CD collection

    If Disney decided to make a four-disc set of songs from The Muppet Show and put you in charge of the contents, what would you include? Remember, you can include anything you want (even songs with the guest stars) as long as they are from the muppet show and not any other programs. let's say...

    Another Jim Hill Muppet rant

    one thing we should think about regarding the original ending line in the pitch tape that I don't think has been mentioend yet: at the time that it was made, Jim Henson probably didn't ever expect it to be seen by the general public. It was only made as a way to possibly sell the show to a...

    where did you first hear about these productions?

    I first knew about Aliens in The family when I saw TGIF on the night that Muppets Tonight! premiered, since the cast of that show was hosting the TGIF block that night, and I didn't know that it was a henson series untill later that week. Hmm, did the muppets host TGIf the week before that (on...

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    irony It's ironic that All Of me and You've got a Friend are bot cut, since those two were included on the video Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff, so Jim henson (or whoever was in charge of the video) must have gotten the music rights for the video release of that. I am not sure if those...

    multiple character dubbing in early years

    yeah, it seems like this fact is so obscure that even the majority of us hardcore fans didn't know (untill now, at least) that guy Smiley was originally called Sonny Friendly. Do you think Sonny friendly was named after Guy Smileys original name or if it was just a coincidence? I wonder if Jim...

    The New Gig

    Wow! That was a great story! I liked Sweetums on top of the bus, althouhg I would hav ethought that he could fit, and I liked the comments about scooter not knowing about the muppet movies from the early 1990s. :cool:

    where did you first hear about these productions?

    I just remembered something not mentioned here. I first knew about the video Getting Ready To Read by seeing it advertized (if that's the right word) as a gift for pledging a certain amount on a local PBS pledge drive.

    where did you first hear about these productions?

    I first knew of Family Rules, Farscape, and all henson shows that originated on The oddyssey channel by reading about them on Muppet Central. I first knew about breakfast With Bear by reading tough pigs. I first knew of Brats of the Lost Nebula by seeing commercials for it (and didn't...

    multiple character dubbing in early years

    In the book Sesame Street Unpaved, it mentions that Sonny friendly hosted the game show The crying game. Does anybody know if this was hosted by Guy Smiley when he was known as sonnny friendly or if it was the other character with the same name.
