    ZootyCutie's TMS Outline-Bubs and Coach Z

    I'm liking these Muppet Show outlines with Homestar Runner characters. Now we still need appearances by The Poopsmith, Strong Mad, Homsar, and The King of Town. It would be great if you write some outliens featuring real celebrities or fictional characters from other properties as guests. And I...

    Main performers of silent characters

    That makes sense. From what I sometimes read fans say about Louise Gold it sounds as if she's normally only a background/ extra puppeteer or only a vocal performer but never both. I started to wonder what would have happened if Frank Oz regularly performed a major silent character. If he...

    Main performers of silent characters

    It's odd that Louise Gold would have more singing roles than puppeteering roles. By 1977 I don't think Jim Henson would have hired somebody for the Muppets who only performed voices of Muppets. I wonder when Richard Hunt started to become really comfortable/ experienced with speaking parts...

    Most disappointing episode of The Muppet Show

    I haven't seen either of the episodes that Gorgon Heap mentioned yet, but I would like to comment on something. After I first saw (non-compilation) episodes of The Muppet Show, I often speculated about the orders of sketches from the three guest stars featured in Rock Music with the Muppets who...

    Muppets in the crate

    In The Great Mupet Caper, when the crates that Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo were in hit the water, were the puppets radio controled, or were the performers underneath them in a situation similar to The Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie, or was it a little bit of both? I noticed in the ride...

    Main performers of silent characters

    Has anybody ever noticed that there have been quite a few minor Muppet characters who talk a lot (whenever they do appear), but don't have any consistent performers, yet there are also a lot of characters who are normally quiet, and their performers are pretty much consistent (at least if the...

    "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" Performers

    I don't know if you've read the "Road to Hollywood" anthology at Tough Pigs (which is a description of an early script), but in the script, Statler and Waldorf appear at both resturaunts. As far as I know, only their scene at the El Sleezo Cafe is pictured in the book.

    New character ideas

    I didn't know that The Animal Show had a hippo character, but I probably should have known that if there were any hippo characters in any non-creature shop Henson productions it would have been The Animal Show. Anyway, I was thinking, maybe in contrast to a happy-looking dumb hippo, maybe he...

    Elmo's World: Homestar Runner

    I didn't make note of this in my script, but Dorthy ahd a small Homestar Runner PVC in her golfish bowl. And hopefully I don't have to describe what the Elmo variations on Homestar Runner and his friends look like. Let's just say that they all look like the characters, with Elmo's red fur.

    "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" Performers

    I think he meant who performed Rowlf, since that scene had Kermit and Rowlf, two Jim Henson characters. Of course, Jim Henson might have manipulated Rowlf while somebody else manipulated Kermit. Since Miss Piggy had left before Rowlf was introduced, it's possible that Frank Oz performed him...

    Elmo's World: Homestar Runner

    It's twisted (assuming you mean that as a compliment, and not an insult). And it's proof that Sesame Street and Homestar Runner don't mix. I've had this idea for a year, but have procrastinated on writing it until I saw the new Muppet Show outline featuring Homestar Runner as a guest. That...

    New character ideas

    I'm not completely against the idea, but if older frackles like Boppity and Gloat need to be rebuilt, and the budget doens't allow for both new frackle characters and rebuilt puppets of old ones, I would choose to have the old ones rebuilt. Or there could be a compromise, and one new frackle...
