Musician/songwriter Phil Balsam and his neighbor, poet/lyricist Dennis Lee were the principal songwriting duo behind a good 90% of the songs on FR. Incidentally, you might remember the poem "Alligator Pie" which is also by Lee, from one of his volumes of children's poetry. Dennis Lee was...

You're welcome. I actually got the list four years ago, I emailed the Henson Company fanmail link. I had posted a thread for it back then but of course finding a four-year-old thread is a pain in the keyster. Like I said, Season Two is best in taping order. Come to think of it, Season...

Me too. That's why when I made that tape of Season Two uncut (yes, A tape- one 10 hour tape which took me three months to make) I put them in guest star taping order. They actually flow much better in that order and visually things make more sense (i.e. the lighting/design changes that took...

Got this from Karen Falk of the Henson Archives Dept. (she's the one who sends the fanmail email replies): JHC ARCHIVES 2001 Muppet Show Taping Dates (according to production files) Celebrity Date (week of) Connie Stevens #2 Jan 19 - 21,30, Feb. 1,1976...

I wouldn't, because clearly the Kermit intros for the Kaye Ballard episode were taped at the same time as the ones for the Ethel Merman episodes, which indicates that the material for that show was taped first. Sometimes they had two guests come in during the week- Melissa Manchester and Gladys...

But if you listen to their voices, clearly they're performed by Jim, Jerry, Dave and Steve. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Does the content of the pilot match up to what's listed in the MC guide, or is there additional material that was cut from the original airing? As far as I know we've yet to establish if there was a UK version of the pilot with extra content. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Wait till you get to the Harvey Korman episode- Richard performs Piggy all the way through, even when Frank is performing a one-shot character (i.e. not one of his regulars). Shows that they really were trying to give Piggy to Richard and not Frank, at least in those early days when she was a...

Add Gonzo to the Bruce Forsyth listing and (it took me a gazillion viewings to spot this) a Paul Williams Muppet to the Paul Williams listing (if you look closely, one of the Paul Muppets is next to Floyd, standing upstage of him or behind him on the screen- you can just see the blond hair and...

Maybe he caught Linda Lavin's nasty cold (she was the guest the previous week, and in "Of Muppets and Men" talks about having a bad cold during her taping). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Hey, I'm a patient guy. I don't mind waiting at all. If you can help me out, I'd be very grateful. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

You mean this was the only pilot version they had, or this was the only episode they had period? The latter would seem odd as I'd heard they have all 120 episodes. Someone else saw the pilot version of this one at MTR, I thought he said that he saw the pilot version of the second, but perhaps...

Pretty please with oatmeal and carrots on top? Uh, no wait- with donuts and sesame seeds- no. Uh, with rhubarb and peppercorns- ARGH!!!! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Schreiber sang, it's just that his song didn't have English 'words' per se, just scat and nonsense, but it had a tune and Avery DID sing that tune. Same with how "Ramblin' Guy" has a tune (not much of one) and Steve Martin sang that. And Chris Langham sang "Hawaiian Cowboy" (again, words...

D.W., did you get a look at the pilot version of the Connie Stevens episode? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I am hoping to make a new avatar but am in need of scans. I'd like to get as many pics as I can from Wayne & Wanda's "Some Enchanted Evening" from the Avery Schreiber episode, but I lack the equipment to make the scans. Could someone help me out? Thanks in advance. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Has anyone actually CONFIRMED that it's music rights issues that caused the cuts? Where can we send an email to ask questions to those in charge of the set's production? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I canceled my order. I have Season One uncut already from years of taping and trading (sorry if I sound like I'm rubbing it in, I'm not trying to), so it's really not necessary for me. At a later date, I might get it (after renting it or checking it out of the library), but right now I am...

This is starting to not sound like oversight. Either there were problems with the masters, like deterioration, or the cuts are deliberate. Now I know I'm not buying this. And now I'm worried about "Fraggle Rock", but fortunately there are no music rights issues, not to mention that FR is...

Yeah, I just found that out today. I just canceled my order; I have been collecting for years and already have the first season uncut, with opening titles. I was mostly interested in the special features, and partly in having the first season uncut in digital quality, but if it's not uncut...
