"Billy Joe Jive" was a series of mid-70s cartoon segments about a black kid detective (Billy Joe Jive) who solved mysteries in New York City...maybe you've seen them, and you just don't remember them...they were still airing in 1986, when you started watching the show.
I'm sure someone else...
Hey, Boober Gorg...do you know who did the Billy Joe Jive segments? Or is that another thing you haven't figured out yet.
Also, in case you want to know of another SS animator, I think Ken Snyder (who did Roger Ramjet, among other cartoon series) worked on SS segments at some point...I...
The Museum of Television and Radio is in Beverly Hills, CA, and New York, NY (Manhattan, to be precise). Basically, near the two epicenters of American television.
Well, two African-American women were on SS. One of them, Susan (Gordon's wife) still appears on SS, but not very often. The other one, Olivia (Gordon's sister), left in 1986 when Alaina Reed (the actress who portrayed her) left to join the cast of 227.
Sesame Street had some cartoon shorts with a guy trying to read a sign, and something happening to him...and The Electric Company had some like that too...except that the SS ones were words, and the TEC ones were commands ("Duck", "Do not enter", etc.)
Well, "The Thirty-Minute Work Week" was the very first episode of Fraggle Rock to be taped, so it probably looks kind of weird because they hadn't completely refined the puppets yet...
Salvador Dada (the painter) used the yellow Anything Muppet (also used for Guy)
"I would never call that painting 'Number Five'! It's a silly name!"
"Then what do you call it?"
"I call it...'Chicken Soup'!"
Too late. I have now heard his voice many many times...and Frank Oz several times...and Richard once...but I have yet to hear Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, or anyone else's real voice. The one I am most curious about is Jerry Nelson, since his vocal range is so wide it's hard to pinpoint what his...
The stomach cancer thing is true. That's what he died of. (And he did look sick for a long time...he got bloated because of his cancer (and possibly as a side effect of medications he may have had to take), and you can see this on late-80s episodes of Sesame Street). Also, I do not believe one...
Well, Davis said that he performed the front half and the voice at one point, and was picked by Kermit Love to replace Jerry Nelson. Also, he said he has performed Forgetful Jones (probably while Richard was in London) and Slimey the Worm (probaby prior to 1980-81, when Robinson joined the...
What Muppet movie do you think has the best music overall (as in, score and songs).
IMO, it's The Great Muppet Caper. It has a bunch of great songs, and a great instrumental score as well. I love "The Big Red Bus" and various other sections.
What does everyone else think? What Muppet movie...
I know you asked Matt, and not me, but to answer your question, WemblinKate, yes, you can watch Muppet stuff at the Museum of TV and Radio. The L.A. one doesn't have Tales of the Tinkerdee for on-the-fly viewing, though...you have to special-order it a week in advance. (Foreignman has told me...
