But the song wouldn't make sense as the Rubber Band men are only onstage sans Carter for a short time, and the song itself goes for a couple of minutes.

Considering that we are getting complete season releases by Disney, I think this idea is interesting to say the least, but probably not practical.

ALmost right; he started to do the goodnight, but when it came to saying "Ruth Buzzi" he broke down and instead said "Buth Ruzzi". In addition, Fozzie introduced Roy Clark at the goodnight to save being hit by Kermit after mentioning there was a fire in the theatre; did he also introduce...

Hijacking this thread briefly, but the actor in question was (as Skeeter Muppet pointed out) Roger Delgado who played the role of the Master between 1971 and 1973/4. Delgado was tragically killed in a car accident while in Turkey; he was due to work on a film there and the car that was to take...

Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy accompanied the Muppets in the backstage number "Consider yourself"; Liberace sang "Has Anybody Seen My Bird?", an adaptation of "Has Anybody Seen My Girl?" Spike Milligan DID sing "It's a Small World After All" in the guise of a person from the Hawaiian Islands.

You've done absolutely nothing wrong at all; welcome to the boards. It would be nice to see this special on DVD, but I can't see it happening anytime soon mainly due to its "obscurity". From memory this special has been shown only three times in NZ, and the last was approx. 10 years ago. If...

On Florence Henderson's official web site, there is a section where you can ask Florence any question you like, so I decided to ask her some questions about her TMS appearance, and I've only just received the answers, so I thought I'd share them with you. Q: How were you approached to do in...

Dr. Bob sounds a bit funnier than Dr. Rowlf.

What's the line? The only "singer" that I can think of off-hand who has a very deep voice is Rowlf when he sings the line "Oh there are bugs and there are lice."

It's explained in the Muppet Morsels section on the Disney DVD of TMS Season One. Can't remember off-hand though why they used purple.

Is it just me or was anyone else disappointed that Jerry Juhl was omitted from the In Memoriam section of the Oscars? While he is mostly remembered for his TV work, he did co-write the screenplays for the various Muppet Movies and should have been recognaised as such.

This is hard to answer but they were mainly "stock" characters, but Mahna Mahna did play a person from Hawaii, Lenny the Lizard played a character from an Asian country. Everybody except Gonzo. Even the band caught it and played the end theme as Chickens. From memory - Kermit, Fozzie...

Who said I was offended? Certainly not me. I thought that they would re-dub the singing voices, considering that most of the songs performed by the Muppets themselves had been re-dubbed and that this was the soundtrack for those who speak French. They re-dubbed the guests speaking voices so...

Darn! I was trying to see if there already was a discussion on this news item but I couldn't find one.

They did get Aznavour to do it; I was most surprised at that. Interestingly, during the talk spot he speaks in English the line "Your oil is leaking and your transmission is sagging." He didn't re-dub his singing voice though. As far as I could tell, it didn't sound like an older Aznavour...

TMS second season guest star Don Knotts has died at the age of 81. http://au.news.yahoo.com/060226/11/y1mn.html - Reuters http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060226/ap_en_tv/obit_knotts - Associated Press

They didn't dub Aznavour's singing voice but his speaking voice was dubbed. Have a guess as to who you think did it.

I wonder if they re-dubbed Charles Aznavour's singing voice? ;-)

You could argue that he does appear in every episode of TMS. ;-)

I found the answer on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahna_mahna I wonder if Jim Henson knew what it really was? (Read the article and you'll understand.)
