Also, Droop was redesigned from a Frackle called P.J. Dripsnout from "The Great Santa Claus Switch". He had some other name when they sound off (in the elves' workshop) but I couldn't make it out. Jog, good list. Those are all the important ones. There were a few cameos too: #3 Joel...

Ken, Tried to ask this a while ago but you were busy. Did you say Rizzo is going to be 3.5 inches tall? That's up to Kermit's collar, and as tall as the Robot Rabbit. I thought you were going for an in-between size; nixed? As for a tail, perhaps if you just made it thicker? That's all...

Great list, TravellingMatt! I would think they'd have been able to get Jamie Farr on the show pretty easily. I wonder what they'd have had him do- same for McLean Stevenson. Henny Youngman and Fozzie would have been a terrific combo. Buddy Hackett is an inspired choice. Don't know about...

Skeeter Muppet, did you see the Muppet Show with Loretta Swit? This is the one where Kermit gets so fed up with Piggy planting items about the two of them in the gossip papers that he fires her. Loretta takes Miss Piggy's place in both Veterinarians' Hospital and Pigs in Space! David...

Well, I think Elliott Gould would have done the show if it had lasted another year. Richard Pryor was the originally booked guest for the Chris Langham episode (the guest star Chris replaced, that is.) Aside from of course one of the Beatles (most likely Paul, or perhaps George) and Frank...

I was gonna say that! Oh well. AWWWWWWP! Chomp! Slurp! Gulp! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Anyone else have any more comments? Please? I really want to know! David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

No fan of The Rock am I, but this is more funny stuff. A person shooting himself out of a cannon into a vat of creamed corn... I had that idea a few years ago, albeit with some different additional details. Never heard of the song "Decomposing Composers", but it sounds like a great UK...

Ken, (Rizzo) is gonna be about 3.5 inches tall. A wire will fail safety tests faster than I failed my first driving test. 3.5? That would make him as high as Kermit's collar (and as tall as the Robot Rabbit). I thought you were going for an in-between size. This changed then? As for...

DogLion didn't have a permanent performer. Of the big monsters, only Sweetums (Richard Hunt, now John Henson) and Thog (Jerry Nelson) had a single performer. The others were all flexible. Actually he only had dialogue in three episodes, all in Season Two. Here's the list of all the people...

He has gotten kind of soft around the edges. I think there's one thing the Muppet writers have been forgetting in regards to Kermit: he has faults!. Here are some examples: He loses his temper all too frequently, at Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, etc. He can dish it out but can't take it. In the...

Frawley screen test What is the Frawley screen test? Is that the same as the TMS pitch for NBC? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I was trying to not cheat too much. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Here's a Muppet Show idea that I had actually had when I was four (and recorded on the other side of the book and tape "Two for the Show"), however, this time I actually developed it. I hope you enjoy it. Late first season style SPECIAL GUEST STAR: BILLY JOEL OPENING THEME: Fozzie...

Okay, well, I've got a question for Ken that shouldn't pose too much trouble. I saw the SDCC packaged pics, and I must say I love how Fozzie, Gonzo, and Crazy Harry turned out. I know that's not the final version of Floyd in the package 'cause he's had a trim since then. What I'm...

The title of this discussion made it sound like another Muppet made-for-video movie. Soon to be followed by "Piggy's Farm Years", "The Electric Mayhem's Psychedelic Years", and "Crazy Harry's War Years". David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Important question for Ken Now that Janice is coming with the Bus playset, she'll still have her guitar, right? No one has mentioned that and I'm assuming the answer is yes (and if it's no then I'd be hard pressed to explain how she's going to play with the band & interact with the Bandstage...

The Backstage playset shouldn't come with the regular series; it should be a deluxe playset released alongside the series, like the Stage playset is set to be. And if the first deluxe playset comes with a large monster, perhaps so can the second one;) Pops can then come with the Happiness...

I just about laughed out loud when I read the part about Gonzo choreographing the number. Are the commercial breaks in your copies of TMS not in the middle of the show? In most episodes with a Talk Spot that Talk Spot is right after the UK Spot, same as At the Dance is nearly always right...

I don't know either. Brian Muehl wasn't credited for that episode and didn't work on TMS until halfway through the season (the Loretta Swit episode was the first one taped in Season Five.) Maybe Bob Payne? That's a wild guess at best. What I want to know is what voices Christopher Reeve...
