Oops. Dave, I *seriously* forgot about that part from your Sammy Davis, Jr. outline. I just wanted a premise for Scooter to sing "Suddenly, Seymour", and that was the only thing I could think of off the top.
Again I say...oops!
(NOTE: In memory of Richard, and because of a certain special friend of mine, this is going to be a very Scooter-centric episode.)
SPECIAL GUEST STAR: BILL MURRAY
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: Fozzie Bear sings "Shipoopi" with various Muppets. (I always thought this production number...
It's been eleven years since Richard left us. I still find it hard to believe. I remember the shock I felt when I saw the Sesame Street CD "We Are All Earthlings" at Best Buy and saw "In Memory of Richard Hunt" on the back.
I couldn't believe it...this was the guy who performed Statler...
Oh, jeepers...
Skeeter Muppet and I are also convinced that Astoria is Statler's sister, who wasn't attractive enough to get married off, so Statler pawned her off on Waldorf, who was the first sucker...er, eligible bachelor he saw. This was in the same conversation we had about Statler's...
A little addendum to the original topic--the full names of some of the humans associated with Muppets!
SESAME STREET:
Gordon Robinson
Susan Robinson

Luis Rodriguez

SPECIAL GUEST: ROD STEWART
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER--A group of woodland creatures sing "See The Water Run" near a dried-up riverbed. At the end of the song, a large rainstorm starts, making the river overflow.
Waldorf: "Well, what did you think of that?"
Statler: "This show...
(I don't know how keen the bassman would be on a thread called "Why We Love Floyd".)
But why is Floyd just so awesome?
To say that Floyd (and the rest of the band) are somewhat otherworldly is an understatement. The Electric Mayhem are often in two places at one time: the here and now...
The Count also mentioned something about gefilte fish in a recent "Number of the Day" segment too. Plus he is of Eastern European descent, so if he was Jewish, he'd be of the Ashkenazi branch.
I didn't know Baby Bear and family were Jewish. I know that Mr. Hooper was. I heard that in one...
Ever like one of those characters who had so much potential, yet was sorely underused (except for ensemble numbers)?
I have one, and I wish they had used him a lot more.
Uncle Deadly was rarely used after the third season of The Muppet Show, and I wish they had kept him on. I can think of...
Kim...
Ditto on "The Peace Carol". Every time I hear that I think about what a great voice Richard had. I like to think that it was more Richard singing that song than Scooter. But then again, since Scooter was an extension of Richard...
Scooter (and Richard) had boundless energy when it...
All the Fraggles' last names are "Fraggle". This was confirmed when Uncle Travelling Matt returned to the Rock and discovered the portal leading to "Outer Space". This portal was dubbed the "T. Matthew Fraggle Room" or something to that extent.
Guy Smiley's real name is in fact Bernie...
It's about time the go-fer got his due. We've made these threads for Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo and Rowlf.
I think Scooter has a bit of a universality to him because in a way, we all know a Scooter or have met one in our lives. The new kid at your job who tries really hard to please everybody just...
As Crazy Harry's New Year's fireworks display can be seen and heard on the Muppet Boarding House grounds, I decided to emerge from "browser" status and come back to wish a Happy New Year to one and all.
I'm glad to have a place where my brand of comedy can truly be appreciated. I dig all you...
(NOTE: This will be my last outline for a couple of weeks. I'm taking a brief hiatus from actively posting due to personal reasons.)
SPECIAL GUEST: DAVID BOWIE
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: Kermit introduces the opening number after being accosted by Sam about having some culture on...
Come on, what's there to hate about Ol' Brown Ears himself?
Besides Kermit, Rowlf is probably the most sane of the Muppet family. He's been around as long as Kermit has and he's probably seen everything, so he knows what to expect out of the rest of his friends, and like Kermit, he accepts...
We all know why we love Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Scooter. Believe it or not, though, there are some Muppets that I'm not too crazy about.
Of all the Muppets ever made, I think I like Marvin Suggs the least. You may have noticed that he's not in too many outlines I've written, and the...
Kim...
Scooter singing "O Holy Night"? Better than "O Holy Night" as sung by Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphones! (although I'd see to it that Marvin hit himself in a particularly bad spot for that last really high note!)
"Zat You, Santa Claus?" as sung by Dr. Teeth (leading the Electric Mayhem Big Band...basically the Mayhem with a larger horn section)
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" as sung by Janice (normal Mayhem lineup this time)
"Merry Christmas, Baby" as sung by Floyd
"Ave Maria" as sung by...
SPECIAL GUEST STAR--JOHNNY MATHIS
(I'm surprised that they never got him to appear on The Muppet SHow proper, although he did do a walk-on on Muppets Tonight.)
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER--The Electric Mayhem team up with the jugband to sing "Ain't Goin' Down Till The Sun Comes Up"...
