I always figured there was a door across from Pops' office and that it led to the canteen. Forgot about the door to the hallway next to the stairs going up- perhaps that leads to the stairs that go into the canteen, and there's a door across from Pops's office that leads to the canteen on the...

Yeah, if there ever was an episode could use a preface, this is it. Whole thing's an inside joke, and having Brian explain it would've been nice, I think, for those not in the know. I can still remember asking my parents who he was when I was little, and they had no idea. David "Gorgon...

Vic, I think I have a correction: In the layout, you show Pops' desk to the left of the stairs leading up, but whenever a guest star came in from outside, Pops was always on their left, so from the backstage view, Pops' desk should be to the right of the steps leading to the bottom level...

I agree with everything that Tim said. What I don't understand is, why is it so difficult to produce a script that comes closer to the original Muppet style and tone? Is it inability, or lack of desire to do so? In my mind, from studying Muppet humor and writing all these outlines, there...

All this time I thought he was just acting. That is so unfortunate. Often times he seemed like not a very nice guy save for where Tim Conway was concerned. Funny thing, putting the bit about the chicken suit together with them making Elton do the wild costumes and Gene Kelly do "Singin'...

His actual first name was Richard. The name Red, obviously, came from his red hair (just like Red Buttons, for that matter). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I was lost in thought and was thinking about a (presumably non-existent) ad for TMS that would go something like "the stars are all talking about it" and then cut to a montage of clips with guest stars saying "The Muppet Show". I'm trying to log them all, just for fun. The ones I remember so...

A note/correction: the canteen scene should read as such: The backstage scene following would then center on just Angus and Kermit. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

My favorite parts: David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I really liked this one. Favorite parts: I laughed out loud at a number of those. One note about this part: I thought he hit Gorgon with a balloon animal hammer. At a glance I thought it said he had enough balloons. That could be interesting. Bill: "Wait- watch this!" (makes a...

Anybody catch the name of James's character in "Muppet News"? I meant the name to be like an inside joke, presumably Johnny's father. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I thought I had Thog caddying for Buddy in the golf sketch, but I see now that I omitted that detail. I hereby add him back in. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Another thing that's odd is that Gorgon Heap rarely omits a possible snack. In the Sherlock Holmes sketch, he eats Piggy, then looks over Rowlf & Baskerville and eats Baskerville. In the Vincent Price panel sketch, he eats Pierre and then tries to eat Kermit. In the Wayne & Wanda sketch, he...

Fozzie introduced Sandy Duncan's first number, and tried to do the opening intro in the Phyllis Diller episode. Phyllis George was the only true guest 'host', and as such introduced a number of the acts in that episode. Chris Langham introduced the opening number in his episode. David "Gorgon...

I think I'm the only one who broached the question. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

It was. There were three different Piggys in S1- the first in the Juliet Prowse episode, second from the Joel Grey through Candice Bergen episodes, and third from the Avery Schreiber through Mummenschanz episodes plus that one re-taped scene. The differences in the two puppets is subtle, but...

Jaye P. Morgan, Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, and J.P. Grosse. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

That's what I thought, too. He has his hand on Rowlf's back at that moment, presumably showing him to the door but I don't think butlers lead people to the door bodily, so coupled with what came before, that's what it looks like to me as well. I have a tough time imagining Rowlf getting...

Whole run, although I know Thog was at times performed by others when he didn't have a speaking role. Steve Whitmire played him in the Loretta Swit episode, and apparently Jim played him in the number with Bernadette Peters (plus Dave was Timmy Monster and Louise was Sweetums). Thog wasn't...

And Terry Angus. I myself only know of one other Muppeteer, but he has not come out and divulged his identity. In his profile he lists his occupation as 'Old Muppeteer'. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
