    Another TMS Outline--Special Guests WWE Superstars

    Heck, GOLDUST would fit in perfectly at the Muppet Theatre. The possibilities for Muppet interaction with him are endless. He could persuade Kermit to be his tag team partner, Greendust...or Gonzo could be threatened by him because he's so bizarre, and Gonzo's used to being the weirdest one in...

    Behind the Outlines: How I Write 'Em!

    Since so many people have asked how I write an outline, I thought I'd give you a rough idea of how I do it. First off, much like Jim Henson, I listen to a lot of music. Music has always been a big part of my life (I don't play an instrument, but I do sing and I have a very extensive record...

    Another TMS Outline--Special Guest Shirley Jones

    Well, Kim, I knew you'd like it. After all...you should know where the whole Floyd/Lanford thing stemmed from! (No pun intended!) Seriously, I want to thank you, and publicly announce on the forum that you should get some of the credit for my TMS outlines, since you're the one I throw the...

    Another TMS Outline--Special Guests WWE Superstars

    Yes, I did base the bit with Kermit, Scooter and Vince McMahon on the Rock's first SNL appearance. The bit with the Dudley Boyz, Animal and the table was sort of based on "The Flintstones" too (whenever they had a prehistoric critter as a household appliance, it would make some offbeat remark...

    Another TMS Outline--Special Guest Shirley Jones

    The "Your Face" line was one Richard used whenever someone said something demeaning or sarcastic. Whenever such a statement was said, Richard would say "Your face!" as his way of saying "The same to you!". It became quite commonplace for him to say it when necessary. Ergo, I thought it would be...

    John Denver/Muppets Xmas Special

    The new CD reissue also cut two other songs which surprised me--"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (since it was used in several other Muppet-related Christmas shows), which was a duet between John Denver and Rowlf--probably one of the few times Rowlf did ANYTHING serious. THe other song...

    Dave Goelz

    Dave was also on "Sesame Street" (as a visitor) before he started working for the Henson company full time, if you read his interview on this website about it...he showed up just to see what the show was about and to meet Jim--and brought a homemade puppet of Ernie!

    Who Is Your Favorite Human Cast Member On Sesame Street

    Yes, Byron...Olivia *was* awesome, wasn't she? I think I really started liking her when I saw the "Unpaved" reruns of the trips to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Olivia also seemed to have a strong friendship with Maria. If you recall, she was the one who accompanied Maria back to Puerto Rico...

    Father Gerry Parkes?

    I remember his cameo on "Today's Special", as Phil, a photographer with a drinking problem. One of the few "serious" issues "Today's Special" touched upon. However, to me, he'll always be Jerome "Doc" Christian. Although one thing remains...how did he find out about Mrs. Bear's farm house when...

    Who Is Your Favorite Human Cast Member On Sesame Street

    Desiree Casado was also in the film "I Like It Like That" with Lauren Velez (sp?), who was also in "New York Undercover" (my all-time favorite cop show). Also, let me rephrase my earlier question. I know Emilio made some appearances on "Lou Grant". Has he picked up any side gigs as an actor...

    Who Is Your Favorite Human Cast Member On Sesame Street

    Sadly, two of my all-time favorite Sesame Street humans are no longer with us, those being Mr. Hooper and David. Of the current bunch, however, I think my favorites are Maria and Luis...yet it seems like we're seeing a lot more of Maria and a lot less of Luis these days. I just think it's...

    Dave Goelz

    David Rudman also took over Richard's half of the Two-Headed Monster as well (and does a pretty good job with him). Is it also a coincidence that Baby Bear (probably Mr. Rudman's most-performed character) sounds an AWFUL lot like Junior Gorg?
