Chapter 2
So many of the Muppet monsters got ready for the circus.
"Boy, I am so excited about performing again", said Mo Frackle, "I haven't gotten a gig since I appeared on Family Feud".
"And I can't remember the last time I've performed", said Mean Mama.
"The fact that The...
Was that new waiter Grover sketch a remake of the old one where Grover used poetic memory to remember food orders ("round and tasty, on a bun, pickles, french fries, yum yum yum!")?
Kermit: But shortly after after The Jim Henson Hour was cancled, Jim Henson died of pneumonia.
Pepe: How sad, okay.
Fozzie: Yes, very sad.
Clifford: We waited to go to the hospital, and when he went there, it was too lated.
Fozzie: At least he didn't see Dr. Bob.
Kermit: But his life...
Harvey Kneeslaper: Hey, I'm looking for people to play on my baseball team. Would you like to be on my team?
Lavendar Anything Muppet: Oh, sure! You can count on me.
Harvey Kneeslapper: What was that?
Lavendar Anything Muppet: I said, you can coutn on me.
Harvey Kneeslapper: Okay...
Chapter 1
Sweetums, Thog, and Timmy were all at the minature golf corse, playing golf, of course.
"Okay, I've just gotta swing this to make one point", said Thog, who hit the ball, but sliped to his side and fell onto a windmill, breaking it.
"Oh, no, you idiot!", said Timmy, "You...
I have the first volume, and I really like those cartoons. I don't think those sets have too much great bonus features. Then again, I haven't bought this new Dark Crystal DVD, and don't have any of the previous DVD releases. Just the 1993 video release.
Kermit: By the end of the 1980s, Jim Henson was involved with one of his most ambitious television projects ever, The Jim Henson Hour. Originally, he planned on giving it a certain monthly structure, which didn't go as planned.
(cut to Jim Henson explaining what type of shows would be done...
While I think it's sad that this set has a different producer who chose to make it different from the first set and not have morsels or promos, due to the differences between the sets I sort of want the next set to have a different style regarding features from both sets. Weird. Considering the...
This is the preference order I would have regarding introductions (if there are any):
*Jane Henson. She was Jim Henson's firs tmajor partner, and was there for most of Henson's earleist works. Maybe she could talk about some Sam and Friends episodes that are no longer known to exist...
But this would be a bit different. He wouldn't be performing, he'd be talking about Jim Henson, what it was like working with Jim, and introducing something that he worked on back in the 1960s.
Of course, I wonder if anybody not associated with Jim Henson would make introductions. Somebody...
Kermit: Of course, Jim Henson also formed a company called Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Pepe: Oh, I think I've heard of this so-called "creature shop", okay.
Kermit: Good. Well, anyway, the creature shop was responsible for creating realistic animatronic characters.
Fozzie: Wait a minute...
In that same episode, I heard some song where the Muppets are singing a song that goes "Goodbye, so long, farewell...". It's played before Two lost Souls (also known as We've Got Each Other). But what is that goodbye song from?
It was so great seeing that again. I had been trying to remember if Zoot sang in that song. But now I know he didn't. Since Lips sang a line, it would have been great if Zoot sang, so that all of the Electric Mayhem members would have sung a line in one song.
I finally saw the opening today, and it was great. Meal or No Meal was also a funny sketch. I hope that gets a DVD release soon. My local PBS station started messing up before the show ended.
Those people would be good. So would Robert Payne, Frank Oz (I would be surprised if he would refuse to talk about Jim Henson on such a DVD feature if offered), Brian Henson, and Jerry Nelson.
Matt Fraggle: Of course, Jim Henson's greatest accomplishment was producing a telelvision show that took place in my home town, Fraggle Rock.
Sprocket: Woof woof!
Matt Fraggle: Aaah!
Rowlf: Easy, boy!
Sprocket: woof.
Pepe: I've never heard of Fraggle Rock, okay.
(everybody stares at...
I wonder how many discs there will be. I will be surprised if there are more than three discs. And I think this set should either include a booklet, special introductions, or audio commentary, explaining the various productions to casual fans.
