    The Minstrels

    I was under the impression that the Minstrels were nomadic (see FR episode #31 "Mokey and the Minstrels") and that being minstrels was their only job. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Jerry Nelson Recasts

    Didn't John Kennedy play Dr. Teeth at one point in time? I wanna say it was in MFS, it was one word, "Shalom", when the EM was playing a bar mitzvah, I believe. If Kennedy is getting Floyd, who's getting Dr. Teeth? I didn't see WoO- which previously silent Muppets were in that and who...

    TMS outline- Burl Ives!

    But he was in the Paul Williams, Charles Aznavour, Lena Horne, Peter Ustinov, and Sandy Duncan episodes, so I don't know what your logic is supposed to be suggesting. It's worth noting that in a lot of Season One episodes, the same characters appeared in the goodnights quite a bit- Piggy...

    I had a busy week that week and didn't get an email written. What's the new deadline? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    The Minstrels

    Nor I. One other thing- we know Tim Gosley played Brool, Jim was Cantus, Steve was Murray, and Terry here was Brio- but who played Balsam? The last time I remember hearing "Music Makes Us Real (Ping!)" I thought I heard Jerry Nelson, but I'm probably wrong. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Favorite Season One episodes

    #2 Wembley and the Gorgs- great example of how well this show can work thematically #9 The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles- IMO this is about when the show really started to take shape (taping-wise) #10 Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk- amusing episode #14 The Challenge- hilarious, wonderful...

    What's your favorite episode of the Muppet show?

    That song was called "Something's Missing". You can tell it was originally intended for the Don Knotts episode, b/c in one of the scenes from that episode, we see the two characters from that number walking offstage. Why they switched it I don't know. It goes well with the Nureyev episode...

    Who's going to the Jerry Juhl tribute? And what can MC do?

    I wonder if it would be possible to give Susan Juhl & family the password to the tribute email, so that for one thing the tributes can be ongoing and not centered around the Saturday deadline. Also it would give them the ability to peruse them at their leisure. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Who's going to the Jerry Juhl tribute? And what can MC do?

    For those of you who missed this on page 12 of the "Celebrating Jerry Juhl" thread: Is anyone going? I think someone from MC should go, and that MC as a whole should prepare something to give to Susan Juhl to show our appreciation and convey our affection for Jerry's work. Anyone have any...

    I found it. It was on page 12 of this thread, in the L.A. Times article that Vic Romano posted. Is anyone going? I think someone from MC should go, and that MC as a whole should prepare something to give to Susan Juhl to show our appreciation and convey our affection for Jerry's work...

    Fraggle Rock film in development

    Eh, I'm hoping against star cameos- doesn't fit with the original spirit of the show IMO. However, if they wanted to cast, say Ned Shimmelfinney and Ms. Ardath, that could be interesting. Paging Christopher Plummer! Paging Christopher Plummer! Can't think of anyone for Ms. Ardath, but...
