Waffling on the subject of monster inclusion. Often the numbers with the big monsters were shot in wide angles, ergo the small monsters were out unless they were standing behind something that covered the puppeteers. Dunno, I think just the big six plus Tom, Dick & Harry in a closer shot. I...

Is Wayne & Wanda's "I Am a Rock" the same as the Simon & Garfunkel song? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

How do you know that, MD? Does anyone know who one should ask about the original openings, i.e. who to email? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I keep forgetting that most people don't have many episodes if any. I've got 'em all. I dunno, I'm just sore about the thought of not getting the original openings. Isn't preservation what DVDs are about? I mean, what would be the purpose of cutting them? Jim's vision? David "Gorgon...

A small edit: Change "bad aim" to "astigmatism". IMO it's funnier, it's not about the fish's aim, simply spoken as 'bad aim', but about his eyes, and in fact a diagnosed eye condition. (And a big word. Big words are funny. And educational- as a kid I developed my large vocabulary...

Forgot something- the male and female Koozebanians appear in PIS as well, and only they are seen going to the stage (hence the crustaceans remark). Perhaps it should be only they who appear in the sketch with the pigs, I kinda threw the rest in b/c they are more eerie-looking (at least the...

Could just be a generic decision on the part of making the trailer, could be the reason that we haven't gotten a straight answer as to the original opening titles. I mean really, if the answer is no, would you want to tell the fans BEFORE they buy it? The longer we get no answer on this, the...

Six weeks and we still don't even know about those opening titles yet. You'd think they'd have made a decision by now. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Never thought I would live to see Boober compared to Kurt Kobain. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

The "Least Favorite..." thread is still around, so I figured I'd restart this one. Mine: -"Change of Address"- need I explain? -"The Bells of Fraggle Rock"- leave it to Jim Henson & co. to use the archetype of a failed hero story as a meditation on faith and religion, with an ending that...

There was a thread on this over a year ago, but since I can't find it... It's pretty obvious that Wembley is the youngest of the five Fraggles, since the others are often explaining things to him, and even among the five he's sometimes referred to as "poor little Wembley" whenever bad tidings...

Guess which two people I'm jealous of. Now, can you two tell me under what circumstances you saw these people in person, and if you actually MET any of them face to face (it would seem that Kimp has). Also, what anecdotes do you have about meeting any of these folks? Share! Share! I have...

I forgot to ask this question of Steve Whitmire at MuppetFest. It seems that Wembley's pupils can move virtually 360 degrees. In any case, they don't move in a single straight path, which indicates that it's not the eyeballs themselves moving on an axis (b/c for the eyeballs to move in more...

Hmm, I would've expected people to be chomping at the bit to try and explain this, but it seems that no one is brave enough to try and explain this as anything other than a continuity error. Only explanation I can come up with is that silly creatures aren't blind to Uncle Matt but simply to the...

If people were covered with fur, would they wear clothes? No Robin Williams or Sean Connery jokes please. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Was re-reading and I wanted to make some small corrections/edits: I just realized that since Floyd is the lead singer, he should be in the middle. Janice smacks him with the guitar and she plays left-handed, that's why she should be on his left. Let's say that on the bottom riser, from...

Completely restored... meaning inclusion or original opening credits or what? I know that restored & remastered is stock DVD promo talk for what's done to the original prints, but hopefully they'll be restored to their original version in total. Guess we'll find out from GelflingWaldo when...

IMO, the problem with Steve Martin in his episode was the fact that he just did his usual stand-up routine on the show, rather than something new in which he would've interacted more with the Muppets. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Yes I am. The bare bones are filled in (i.e. what acts and where they go, and a basic backstage plot), now I just have to fill in some of the more specific details. Don't know when it'll be up, though. Also doing some work with Barry Lee on a Mel Brooks outline, and I'd love to have my...

Don't know when the next one will be. Working on my Tennessee Ernie Ford outline, and also doing some work with Barry Lee on a Mel Brooks outline. We are now on a new page (grrr, you beat me to it), so here's the updated fanfic list: Billy Joel , 8/21/02 Sammy Davis Jr., 9/21/02 Rex...
