You can't top mine. I was 7. My 8th birthday was the next day, May 17th. I was at the kitchen table, eating dinner with my family, and watching the news on our little black and white TV (where I had often watched TMS and SS). The newscaster announced the death of Sammy Davis Jr. at the age...

Probably felt a bit bombarded. Everyone on this whole board would like to chat with him. You know, I actually calculated based on what we've heard, in terms of his vocal extremities, and I think that Jerry, from at least his late 30s to late 40s, had at least a good 3 1/2 octave range. As...

#32 at 3:27 p.m. EST on Friday, August 26. Should probably crack top 25 within the next few days! Remember this, also: at www.tvshowsondvd.com, FR was for the longest time actually ranked HIGHER on the list of wanted TV shows than TMS (it might still be). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I thought Dan Aykroyd wrote both Blues Bros. movies. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

No apologies necessary- great minds think alike! Or perhaps the # could be done with babies, given that the song is in future tense. That could be interesting. Or have young to middle-aged Whatnots with elderly flash forwards. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

What I'd like to know is if whoever saw the Cleo Laine episode remembers how that one was edited. Also, does anyone actually HAVE a copy of the Nickelodeon edit? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Opening number on the Cheryl Ladd episode. Opening number on the Spike Milligan episode. It's actually "Oklahoma", theme from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical of the same name, but instead of taking place in the Old West, it's set in Japan, which includes the city of Yokahama. Another...

Note gag was in. As was "Chopsticks" as played by the Muppet chickens. This sketch is in between the scene with Robin in the prop room and Vet's Hospital. It's like "Down at Papa Joe's" from the Edgar Bergen episode only it's in front of a light blue background. Intro to the park...

Let me rephrase. "All Work and All Play" was the first totally Doozer-centric episode. Another classic IMO is "A Tune for Two", with its theme of discrimination and the classic song "We are the Children of Tomorrow". David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Well, I see that my choice of Wanda has kept me out of the catfight. Looks like I'm clear without competition. Well, except Wayne. Must eliminate:mad:! Oh wait, looks like that's already being taken care of in my icon. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I know, I was being silly. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I've done some outlines with some of these folks already- Billy Joel, Sammy Davis Jr., David Ogden Stiers, with several more in the pike- Alan Alda, Rodney Dangerfield, Gene Wilder, and John Ritter. I agree that Suzanne Somers would've been a good choice, and of course Gary Burghoff, Weird Al...

That sounds kinda dirty :p David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Oo! Oo! I know this one! W: "Ah, there aren't many performers who could hold a candle to Bruce Forsyth!" S: "Of course not, they'd burn him!" W: "Statler, you must be the old fool there's no fool like." And I can't believe I forgot my very favorite S&W quote, the closing comment of the...

Good to know I'm not the only one who thought Twiggy was yummy as the milkmaid. :flirt: David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Slowly but surely, don't expect it too soon, I haven't done any serious work on any outlines lately. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I thought he evolved out of a Frackle called P.J. Dripsnout- maybe that was Droop? It might say in "Designs and Doodles", and I think it used to say in his Featured Creature bit on the old Henson.com. I got Snake Frackle for the green stripy one from the picture in "Designs and Doodles"...

One more- Snake Frackle/original Green Hunchback Frackle was in the closing number on the Linda Lavin episode, "Beyond the Blue Horizon", in which multitudes of Muppets sing on a giant cake set (in honor of Kermit's birthday). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Actually I think it's a tuba. He's performed by Jim in the Joel Grey episode, by Richard in the Paul Williams episode, and by Jerry in the Charles Aznavour and Zero Mostel episodes. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

This is to ferret out where our Muppet priorities lie (although I think I know the answer already- I'm kind of just wanting to confirm). Would you trade special features for a fully uncut season? That is to say, if the cost of restoring all 24 episodes in a season to their uncut state could...
