I'd be down with ALL of these ideas! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I would say because it's played very much at face value. Hopefully it won't last beyond the pilot / first episode. If they're really interested in mining character relationships, of which I'm definitely in favor, then simple dismissal isn't going to do much for it. Whoa, let's not go off...

Thanks for the likes, folks! Any comments, favorite parts, etc? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

George Harrison, 8/2/15

I held this one off from posting as an outline because of how close I was to a full script. According to this site's interview with Jerry Nelson, George Harrison was interested in doing The Muppet Show, but the producers were too preoccupied trying to woo Paul McCartney onto the show. Here's...

To reference some things already said, I also never thought of TMS as a parody, but as a legitimate variety show crossed with a backstage sitcom. You might call it a hybrid variety show / sitcom. In my opinion, the last few attempts to revive the Muppets on TV haven't worked in part because...

Question for you. I downloaded the FR songs, but the album art jpegs won't open when double-clicking on the file from the zip folder, and when I save them, they're invisible and don't show up when I change the "hidden files" setting. Is there something I'm not doing right? David "Gorgon...

If you have the cover art, I'll take it. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Never mind. Found it. If you're also looking for "The Stars Come Out On Sesame Street" on mp3 (the original album tracks converted to mp3, including "Wonder Child" which was dropped from the iTunes release), PM me. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Thanks, SesameFever, but the Muppet Show albums plus odds & ends are what I already have. "The Stars Come Out on Sesame Street" is what I'm looking for. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I used to have "The Stars Come Out On Sesame Street", mp3s & cover art in a zip folder, but have just discovered it's GONE. If anyone has, LMK. I have: - Muppet Show albums 1 & 2 - Muppet Show Music Hall - The Muppet Show Music Album - Silly Songs - all 3 Fraggle Rock albums (self-titled...

The more I think about it, perhaps "Soul Man" should just take place on the bare stage set, a la Paul Simon's closing number, Diana Ross's 2nd number, etc. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Did I ever specify that Piggy should be changing the lyric to "can't help lovin' that FROG of mine"? I know I meant to. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I just realized about a week ago that I could use the song in the W&W sketch for timing and staging: "And This is My Beloved" WIDE SHOT Wayne & Wanda face each other adoringly. The music swells and Wayne turns, about face, with a flourish as he begins, heading Stage Right while Wanda...

For the front cover art, the TMS logo would be suspended above the bare stage (i.e. the back wall is visible), with some props & such scattered about (and probably a Muppaphone somewhere). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Oh, and I picture the front cover art to be the angled shot of the audience (as introduced in the Season 3 opening titles) with the TMS logo superimposed floating at the top with Kermit therein. Also, we might possibly see the orchestra pit and the lip of the stage with, say, Piggy or Fozzie et...

See my previous post, "The Muppet Show 3 (Album)": what if the tradition of doing a Muppet Show album ANNUALLY had continued after Season 2? I think "The Muppet Show 4" would've looked something like this: SIDE ONE "Opening Theme" "Take Ten Terrific Girls" - Statler & Waldorf "I Got Rhythm" -...

So after putting out "The Muppet Show" album and "The Muppet Show 2", the tradition kind of dried up, with only "The Muppet Show Music Album" following, featuring songs from all four seasons up to that time. So what if the tradition of one album a year HAD continued? Here's my "fanfic"...
