Sid Caesar, 12/27/05 (co-written with Princeton) David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Princeton approached me with the idea of collaborating, and when he said Sid Caesar, Season Two, I jumped at the chance. We were brainstorming ideas and I'm only sorry that I didn't put the finishing touches on this one sooner. Sid is a legend in comedy, one of the first genuine TV stars, and...

Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee. Accept no substitutes. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

More along the lines of Wembley. Think Rizzo, or the White Rabbit from the Brooke Shields episode, or the rabbit in VH from the Andy Williams episode. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I don't understand the question entirely, but I'll do my best to answer. I saw it as they con him into it, telling him that it's Shakespeare when it isn't. Because Shakespeare is culture and culture is the aim, he accepts. He's not a performer, by his own admission, but for the sake of...

Sorta. Haven't touched them in ages, tho I may start up the Leon Redbone one again soon. I'll probably finish the Sid Caesar one first tho. Bumping this one up, seeing as it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Been such a long time since I've been in a good snowball fight (or even a lousy...

Heh, you wanna reply, reply to my actual outlines. I crave feedback. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I don't know, actually. I thought it was "A Cup of Tea, a Cookie, and You" because when I first heard it, that line was sung by Witch Hazel in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Later I recalled that Groucho mentioned the song, "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You", but I thought his was the made-up title...

Who performed these characters? -ghosts: Richard and Louise in the cold opening, Steve in the opening number (Wembley/Rizzo voice) and Fozzie's monologue (in sort of a Murray the Minstrel voice), Kathy in Vet's Hospital (for a 'boy meets ghoul' joke, following on from a line from Peter at the...

All of them: purple, green, red, blue-green, gray, and green-pink. -Purple: lead spy in Roger Moore ep. (Jerry Nelson); "You know what sea monsters eat?" in Carol Burnett episode (Frank Oz) -Green: one of the spies in Roger Moore ep; dancing partner of purple in Carol Burnett episode (Richard...

Season Five Frackles plus Uncle Deadly, Sweetums, DogLion, and Timmy Monster. Yes. The Season 5 Frackles. Vincent Price. New character. So, what'd you think of the outline? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Finally filled in the gaps of this one. Like the Jim Croce outline, I got the show order down in August while visiting my grandparents, but unlike the Croce one, this one didn't have a plot already attached. I just finished this one less than an hour ago. Peter Lorre, 12/22/05 David...

Just in time for Christmas, a Halloween episode! For those unfamiliar with Lorre, he was a legendary horror movie actor on par with the likes of Vincent Price. Before becoming a regular fixture of the horror genre, he was known as an oddball sort of character actor, featuring in such classics...

Another slight edit: Change the last line to: "Not to worry- the Swedish Chef will spoil it before they even get here." Or something to that effect. Wording is such an exacting task. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

There are a handful of Sesame Street clips that I'm having a hard time finding. When I don't know titles, I'll describe them in detail. -A purple soprano (Richard Hunt) sings F-AN, eventually spelling fan, to which a male Whatnot (Frank Oz) calls "Bring in the fan!" (which then blows her wig...

Well, I've seen what Mills and Robertson look like. Robertson appears in the special when he's suiting up to play Pa Gorg. Vanderburg was on the show in Season One, don't know about subsequent seasons. It could be one of the late-arriving puppeteers, like Mike Petersen or Frank Meschkuleit...

At the beginning of the behind-the-scenes special "Down at Fraggle Rock", during the filming of "The Rock Goes On" from the episode "The Honk of Honks", there is a prominently seen background puppeteer performing one of the Inkspots (the little bulgy-eyed background singer characters, also seen...

In her interview on MC, Karen said that Steve Whitmire performed Red in the episode "Red's Club" while she was out with I believe an injured hand. But does anyone else notice how the only character whose voice is out of synch with his lip movements is Boober? Was Dave performing Wembley while...

That supposed to be anything like a lemon meringue pie? Thought of a few more, listening to "Pantry Chant" in "You Can't Do That Without a Hat": -pears -chicken chop suey (again, where are the chickens and how do they know of chop suey? early anachronism I guess) -stroganoff (this is...
