    Denial

    For all the sarcastic comments Statler and Waldorf make, they also find good things to say about the show. It's possible that the show is just "too hip" and new for them to understand and so they try to make the cast feel small by insulting them. Waldorf: "That's one of the reasons I always...

    The "Snake" Frackles

    I never understood why they call the green monster the Snake Frackle....

    Monsters Eating Fellow Muppets

    I also noticed in the end of the Vet's Hospital Skit in "Candice Bergen", Behemoth closes his jaws on Rowlf. Either he wanted to eat Rowlf or is was biting him as payback for hitting his stomach with a mallet. Which seems more likely?

    Monsters Eating Fellow Muppets

    Shakey walks offstage after being eaten, which makes me think Behemoth got tired of his "ham" dinner. Gorgon actually said "Excuse me, Miss" before crunching down on Piggy, which makes me think he may have shown some regret for what he was about to do. Maybe it was in the script for him to...

    The "Snake" Frackles

    People say Lenny is a revised version of the Snake Frackle, but that doesn't make sense, since the Snake Frackle is the one with green fur and large chin. Maybe they mean "Purple" Snake Frackle, but that can be seen in the background of the auidience, too. Anyone else notice that?

    Left out of the goodnights...

    I agree. Kermit and Lenny on the stage together would be interesting since they have the same design, right?

    Shocked Gonzo

    When Uncle Deadly sneaks up behind Kermit in "Twiggy", Gonzo's eyes seem to widen with fright. I thought he only got this feature when Dave rebuilt his character, or is it possible that this was a first attempt to see how that feature would work on the original puppet and then abandoned for the...

    Guest stars who seemed to dislike being on the show

    John Clesse struck me as if he wasn't having fun (of course, he helped DIRECT his episode) because; a. He was tied to his chair and gagged. b. His agent was eaten by Big Mama (so who says she couldn't have eaten the GUEST HIMSELF?!). c. He seemed to dislike the pigs. d. His final...

    Shoo

    "I'm Looking Through You" is one of my favorite musical skits, but I've often wondered something; when Fozzie comes back and swats the air with his hat, is he shooing away the bats or the ghosts? I say the ghosts.

    Who performed who

    That's been done before. In the Valerie Harper episode, Floyds' backup singers were performed by a single person. The calm man's name's Herman. Which one, though? There was a green one and a blue one.

    Who performed who

    I think Dave Golez performed the Crocodile in season 1, right?

    Boppity's Family

    Most likely their are or are not, if you consider they are all Frackles. We're not sure if Green Scoff is sister, girlfriend or wife to Blue Scoff.

    Im My Own Grandpa....what episode?

    "Charles Aznavour". It's when Gonzo wanted a manager. The song's about a man who (or more likely thinks he did) married his own grandma because his father married his daughter.

    Cantus without his Minstrels

    A little. I was always more curious about what they do without him. Maybe they just wait for him where he left them and play for themselves 'till he gets back to them.

    Who's in the Auidience?

    Who's in the auidience of Muppets Tonight? Here are the only two I can remember or make out; Stevenson the Parrot An alligator But I know there are more......Help me, please.

    Why the rats?

    In my opinion, it would have made more sense to have the rats showing up all over backstage during the first season since it was like Kermit had just gotten the theater.

    Who Has Kermit Fired or Threatened to Fire?

    Actually, I think Kermit was like that because he seemed to think the show didn't have much of a future at the start or because he was in a bad mood. 1. Uncle Deadly had physically abused him, then Kermit thought it had been George. 2. Floyd was being difficult about playing the catipillar...

    Why We Love Scooter

    Here's my analsis of his personality; When Scooter first appeared he assumed he'd be welcomed with open arms to increasing the Muppet Theater staff. He was polite (if a bit demanding) when he said he was going to be the go-fer, then seemed like he was whining when Kermit refused. Finally he...

    Who Has Kermit Fired or Threatened to Fire?

    He'd have to talk about that with Kermit first. Though I think it was an attempt to make Nigel seem less wimpy.

    Philo and Gunge appereciation thread

    This is a thread dedicated to two of my favorite characters and I'd like to point several things out. 1. What is their race? They've been called "Shills", "rats" and "Trash Twins", though this would describe them best since they're like ying and yang; Philo has hooded eyes that seem to...
