I will just say this- the writing has gotten weaker and the characterization has gotten thinner and less original, if that makes sense. The new characters aren't as rich or layered, and some of the layers of the original characters have been lost. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Maybe the car washing joke was just that, a joke. He was also in an early Sesame Street book, a book of opposites. I believe he was dressed as a baby, or something along those lines. He did ham it up, and he did his own thing, but he did that a lot in his other stage work. Zero loved...

Right now, Matt and I are working on turning the outline into a full script. We're hoping to get some web space to start a Muppet fan fiction site, which you're all welcome to contribute to. Still investigating details on how to set one up cheaply, or free if possible, just without too many...

I think Rizzo was first named in the Andy Williams episode, when Kermit asks him if he knows about the disappearance of the dancing cheese. Rizzo was often on the guest star's shoulder in the goodnights. Rizzo had a large role in the Joan Baez episode (his largest in the series) as the...

One small criticism- Robin didn't look quite right to me when I saw him. I think it's the eyes; they look bigger than on the puppet, and more excited. Robin has slightly flattish eyeballs. Also there's his mouth- the figure's mouth is kinda pointed; the puppet's mouth is sort of rounded on...

Something just occurred to me about my S8 prediction: Marvin Suggs. S8 still needs a tentpole figure, so that's probably either regular Rowlf or Movie Usher Scooter (though probably not both). Don't know exactly what to guess beyond that if Suggs is in S8. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Let's look at the facts: Series 8 (designations 9-01-03) MT TMS TMS MTM *there is NO army builder type pack-in for Series 8 ** there may be exclusive for S8. It's still being planned out. (9-20-03) ***BUT there is one comic-con exclusive planned as an MTI variant for around S8...

Listening to some songs from FR, I can see them being performed outside of the context of the show. "Is It True?" from "The Wizard of Fraggle Rock", could in the right setting be a religious song. Imagine a gospel choir singing it in church, or at a tent revival. Read the lyrics. It fits, I...

Confused. Who is Bernice? Is that just a different chicken? How is Tux Gonzo different from the purple suit Gonzo? Is this a black tux then? How is it different from a simple repaint? New suit sculpt? New accessories? You said there's a pack-in for every series in '04, but this one...

Can someone please tell me the UPC for Koozebane Kermit? I still haven't found it at the Ypsilanti, MI Target and having the UPC will help in having them look it up. Thanks. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I had a hunch I was forgetting somebody. Bobo is likely enough, maybe not very close to Fozzie. Phil Van Neuter is one I could see, even for Series 8. It seems regular versions of the figs can get held back, like Rowlf, Sam and Robin, whereas teams like Bunsen & Beaker and Statler & Waldorf...

35 guests from The Muppet Show are now deceased: Season One: Juliet Prowse Avery Schreiber Vincent Price Ethel Merman Andres Bossard (of Mummenschanz) Season Two: Zero Mostel Milton Berle Nancy Walker Edgar Bergen Madeline Kahn George Burns Rudolf Nureyev Bob Hope Peter...

I'll give it a go. This version has MAJOR SPOILERS. If you want one without, leave another post and I'll try it without. Johnny Cash arrives to find Pops struggling with his radio. As the show begins, Kermit tells us that radio station WHOG is doing their broadcast from the theater, as...

Something just occurred to me and because it's not an actual leak I don't think there's anything preventing me from spilling my guts here: So far, we've had Rizzo from MT (or rather the MT era), Pepe from MT is in S5, Clifford from MT is in S6, and Johnny Fiamma from MT is in S7. Yet we know...

Got the word from Ken- Statler comes with 2 tomatoes and the Avacado, Waldorf with one tomato (a duplicate of one of Statler's 2, the smiley one I think) and a carrot. Someone help me out here- do Link & Strangepork's waists move, and are Link's hands supposed to turn? And, of course, the...

This first part is for Ken- the new pictures I've been seeing of the Swinetrek- can't remember if they were the final pics or not- have the regular starfield in the viewscreen. Can I take this to mean that the regular starfield default is in? Also, in the test pic on the Palisades website...

Just took another look at the Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter, Volume 1, Number 1, and on page 3 was a small article on background singers. Apparently Lou Rawls' backup singers on "Groovy People", nameless in the show, were called The Sleeze Bros. Quoted in the article, "they have records...

Animal03- I've already been working on a fan fiction outline for a Gordon Lightfoot episode (set in mid-Season Four) for a while now. I hope to have it up soon. Gotta finish my Red Skelton outline first and then hopefully Lightfoot will be next (and I may include an prominent appearance by one...

Someone refresh my memory, Koozebane Kermit is going to have multiple shipments to Target, right? I got my Link and Strangepork at the Ypsilanti, Michigan Target last night but they were out of the Kermits or hadn't gotten them in yet. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Can someone tell me what are the names on the back of the package under 'Special Thanks'? Thanks. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
