We need to add the trailers to the page on Muppet Wiki about them. I can't remember what that page is either.

It's been a while since I last saw his episode, but I thought he was a good guest star and I believe he enjoyed his time on the show. That's wrong about Cleese; he spoke fondly of his time in the book "Monty Python: Before and After" saying that in one scene after the Director had called...

That's the main backstage plot from the Helen Reddy episode.

The clip comes from the doco "Of Muppets & Men" and appears to be either a) rehearsal of a scene that was deleted or b) ad-libbing by Henson and Oz. I'm guessing that the clip dates from c.1978 and particularly the Spike Milligan episode.

Here's the 10 sec. Ruth Buzzi TMS trailer and again this one, like the Lola Falana one, aired on a CBS affiliated network - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRwJHHbR7ME Does anyone know much about KNXT?

Someone has posted the original 30 sec trailer of Lola Falana's episode of TMS. This appears to come from a US network, which suggests that the trailers aired outside of the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=600q0WPx25g

Alice Cooper appeared in the third season. Lynda Carter and the Star Wars cast were in the fourth season. Loretta Swit appeared in the fifth.

Bruce Forsyth talks about his appearance in his autobiography; he speaks highly of his appearance and said that after he had finished taping he saw the characters hooked to pegs looking lifeless and it made him sad as they had seemed so lifelike before.

He did almost the entire second-half of the show by himself, what else would you expect him to do? Not all guest stars got involved in the backstage plots. Don't know how accurate that is, as there is a quote from Mostel on Muppet Wiki humorously saying this about Jim Henson - "He has the...

I can answer that for you- no; it was the usual end shot with a different sound effect.

Sorry, but is it New Year's already? Because as far as I'm aware "this year" hasn't finished yet. Ladies & Gents, most of you are going to have to be patient and wait. I'm sure Buena Vista Entertainment will be releasing the remaining seasons in due course.

The original ending does still exist on some copies - the logo is superimposed over a two-shot of Rowlf and Nigel. The review for the DVD of Season One has a screencap of the proper ending. The person who told you this got their logos mixed-up; in the 1980's Henson International Television...

Good question; I once emailed Granada International (the current owners of the old ITV archive) and queried whether they still owned the masters. The response was "We don't own the rights to that show anymore." However, I strongly suspect that the masters *do* still exist at Granada...

Very good find. Interesting to note that Louise Gold is credited as a performer which seems to confirm the theory that she *was* credited on the Season Two episodes she worked, albeit only on the left-hand credits.

I'm afraid your hearing is playing up; in the film version Rowlf scats and Kermit holds the long note only. There is no third voice.

The "gag reel" was simply a compilation of some of the trailers that the cast recorded. These would have aired on the ITV regions during the regular commercials.

I hope it doesn't as that didn't exactly have much to do with TMS.

Wooah! Since when has Animal been part of the "main five"? If anything, the other member of the "main five" is Scooter, who appeared in more backstage plots than Animal ever did.

Do we know of many TMS guest star biographies and autobiographies that discuss their appearanceon the series? I can think of a few - Roger Moore, Bruce Forsyth, Spike Milligan, Gene Kelly (the author was critical of his appearance)... Any others?

Have a look at the "Hopes for Season Four" thread. It's not coming out until next year.
