    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    "Great Balls Of Fire"--Jerry Lee Lewis (Dr. Teeth on vocals) Of course. Good choice. And Skeeter- Your suggestion of a possible jam session between the Electric Mayhem and the jug-band- I had two ideas for such collaborations: "Sweet City Woman" and possibly "Black Water"...

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    Great Gonzo- just don't steal that idea Another one: "People Are Strange" by the Doors Years ago I came up with an idea in which Gonzo is in charge of the show. He puts on all these weird acts, and people who have just wandered into the theater, and cancels all the regular features...

    "Spinning Wheel" by Earth, Wind and Fire (Floyd main vocals) "Louie, Louie" (main vocals by Animal) More as I think of them. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    They are still angled and will not be strightened out. Henson wanted it that way, and I agreed with them. Besides, for as many photos as you can show me of his glasses straight, I can show you as many with his glasses angled. That is the nature of this line...there are SO many different...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, What do you mean by test shots? Is this with tooling or what? The more important question I have to ask, and I recall asking it a few months ago but can't recall the response or if there was one at that time, are Zoot's glasses going to be straightened out? As you're well aware it...

    Speaking of Ren and Stimpy knockoffs...

    I concur You can huff and puff until you're blue in the face, but you're not going to blow the door down. Drop it!

    Scooter

    Scooter is much more intelligent than Radar, who according to Trapper "has the IQ of a houseplant". Scooter is more clever and, on occasion, more devious, assisting Miss Piggy in her schemes either for cash or to avoid bodily harm. I don't see any similarities other than their station and they...

    Piggy

    Enough already! Hot Lips didn't know karate. Piggy wasn't an adulterer. The more you get to know both characters, the less a "direct copy" it will become. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Re: Miss Piggy and Loretta Swit maynard- In the Muppet Show with Loretta Swit, Miss Piggy gets fired by Kermit for planting items about them in gossip magazines. Kermit has Loretta take Piggy's place in Vet's Hospital and Pigs in Space. During Pigs in Space of course the whole thing is...

    Weezer video voices

    I watched the Weezer video recently and couldn't place a few voices- Fozzie and Statler, possibly Miss Piggy. Fozzie was definitely someone else- John Kennedy? Piggy might have been someone else- Eric Jacobson? Statler didn't sound like Jerry Nelson; he sounded more like Richard Hunt...

    I wasn't yelling. You can tell, no exclamation marks. I just wanted to emphasize the one word. Sorry about that; should've just used italics. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Who are the Muppets suppose to be

    Janice was NAMED after Janis Joplin, not singularly based off of her. I think they took elements from a few singers to make Janice. I really don't see how she could be based off of Janis Joplin anyhow- Joplin was a Texan, and Janice is a California surfer girl. Plus Janice's lips were taken...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    another is to make them part of a pack-in pack in an actual blister in one of the upcoming Series I like that idea. Tell me though, what else would you think of putting in the pack-in pack? I like the idea of 'booster packs' as it were because they allow you to increase the scale of the...

    Muppet Show outline- Sammy Davis Jr!

    Well, I just put the finishing touches on it, and here it is: SPECIAL GUEST STAR: SAMMY DAVIS JR. STYLE: fifth season COLD OPENING: Pops is watching the baseball game. Sammy walks in. Pops tells Sammy how glad, how pleased, how thrilled he is to see him. Now he has someone to keep an...

    Who are the Muppets suppose to be

    Are you saying that all the Muppets are in fact based on other people or characters, or is this a 'just-for-fun juxtaposition'? If the former, I hate to come right out and say it, but you'd be dead wrong. The only Muppet that was based outright on somebody else was Dr. Teeth, who was as you...

    Ryan's TMS Outline!

    Another question- For the piano playing sketch, is it Rowlf instead of Kermit or Rowlf AND Kermit? If it were me I'd just as soon not use Rowlf. I mean, he's the most down-to-earth of the Muppets, even ahead of Kermit! He's never been eaten (he's a bit big to be eaten too), even when...

    Ryan's TMS Outline!

    You may have to explain some of this to me. The Kermit Plays Piano skit, for example. I know a few details but not how the whole sketch goes or how you would substitute the characters in there. Got confused when you mentioned Wayne teaching Scooter to improvise, seeing as you had just...
