    South Africa's Sesame Street Gets HIV+ Muppet

    I must say that it's ABOUT TIME that the Henson folks finally made a mention of the AIDS issue, even though their one HIV-positive Muppet is not in North America. Many people (especially in articles on MC) have wanted this to come about for some time, especially after Richard Hunt's death. (The...

    Another Muppet Show Outline

    P.S. The "Lawrence G. Hornbeck" name is one I invented from numerous sources--there was a character in a book I read in 5th grade by D. Manus Pinkwater entitled "Lizard Music" named Lawrence Lawrence, which I found amusing (footnote: a few years later I would meet someone named George George. I...

    Just wait until the one I have planned with special guest star Mel Brooks! Mel's one of my heroes, so you know I'll pull out all the stops on this one. I can't wait to hear your Sammy Davis, Jr. one!

    Boober's Quiet Day

    I love that particular episode AND that song. Truly a chance for Dave Goelz to exercise the schizoid in him. He actually served in three different roles: Boober, Sidebottom (Boober's "fun side"), and the real Gypsy Lady. Mr. Goelz has said that was one of the most demanding performances he's...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Hmmm, a lot of my favorites were already mentioned. Here are some of the ones that weren't: The skit where inhabitants of the Street introduce themselves in alphabetical order. (A--Alterrian, B--Bob, C--Cookie, D--David...etc.) The Question Song with Grover and a little girl. "Name...

    How many Muppet Show guest stars do you have some sort of recording by?

    Forgot one...I have the USA for Africa CD which has a Kenny Rogers song on it, as well as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and Diana Ross, who sang on "We Are The World".

    How many Muppet Show guest stars do you have some sort of recording by?

    THANK YOU! I was wondering when "The Producers" would be reissued on DVD. All that's out now is the making of the cast album of the Broadway smash hit (12 Tonys, y'know). Actually, the only difference between the play and the movie is that the character of Lorenzo St. DuBois (LSD) has been...

    The Muppet Show cast on Sesame Street (Script in progress)

    Here's what I was thinking: an ep of Sesame Street where the Muppet Show gang goes to visit their pal Kermit on "Sesame Street". Some of the hijinx that would ensue: Fozzie reprises his "Good grief, the comedian's a bear" bit with Gordon. Gonzo tries to get Luis to fix his iron (which is...

    Dear Liza

    I don't know, but I remember that spot being quite funny. It could have also worked on "The Muppet Show". (In fact, it may have been better placed on TMS.) I love the Anything Muppet farmer's wife's comment at the end of the song: "I should've married Luke..."

    Help Needed with Sesame Street Characters

    Baby Bree Bop A Doo was the green Anything Muppet (also used for Farley, Sherlock Hemlock, and Little Jerry), only made to be female. She was one of Roosevelt Franklin's pals. I remember a character named Fenwick, he appeared in a Guy Smiley skit, but I don't remember what he looked like. I...

    Kim... About "Help! My Nerves"... I heard this song last night while copying a tape of old Yiddish songs for a new friend who was interested in hearing it. The Yiddish title is "Gevaldt! Di Nerven" and was sung by a man named Jacob Zanger, who recorded it in 1925. Mr. Zanger not only...

    With apologies to TravellingMatt, here's my own TMS episode outline...

    I kind of liked that! Hmmm....now what if Molly Shannon was a special guest? I could easily see her incorporating Mary Katherine Gallagher in there somewhere..
