Since some songs from the first season of The Muppet Show were cut on DVD, I thought I'd create some morsels for them.
Here are some made-up morsels for the cut sketches from the Joel Grey episode:
For the first Muppet News Flash:
This is the first Muppet News Flash sketch.
In his first appearance, The Newsman does not have glasses. Later on, he will get glasses.
For the first season, The Newsman was called Muppet Reporter in the scripts.
For Stormy Weather:
This is Wayne and Wanda;s first performance on The Muppet Show. Normally, their acts would end early, usually due to an on-stage accident.
Stormy Weather was written by Harld Arlen and Ted Koehler.
For the second Muppet News Flash:
Both News Flash sketches from this episode were tapped sometime after the episode was taped and added after the original master copy was produced.
The Newsman was performed by Jim Henson.
And here are some possible Morsels for the cut scenes from the Jim Nabors episode:
For Gone with the Wind:
Gone with the Wind was written by (insert the names of the writer/ writers here... I don't know who wrote it).
As heard here, while Jim Nabors talks with a southern accent, he can sing with an operatic voice.
The movie Gone witht he Wind was made in 1939. The Muppet Movie included a few references, including a line from Kermit, who, after his bicycle get's run over by a steamroller, he says that "If frogs couldn't hop, I'd be gone with the swinn."
This song was also performed during the first season of Sesame Street, performed almost similar to how it is performed here.
Many Henson productions have featured trunk characters, with blank faces that can have facial parts added to make the characters become anything. This allows the girl in this sketch to have her hair fly off.
On Sesame Street, the trunk characters were called Anything People, and later Anything Muppets. On The Muppet Show, they are called Whatnots. On Dinosaurs, there is a simlar type of characters called Unisaurs, but they pretty much always have the same facial features, including permaneantly-included eyes.
For Danceros:
The previous backstage scene, this backstage scene, and the next backstage scene were all adapted in The Muppet Show Book. However, in the book's adaption of this sceen, Scooter says that his uncles favorite act is Mahna Mahna instead of danceros.
The Danceros is performed inf ront of a black background, witht eh performer dressed in black as to be invisible.
This technique was used a lot on The Muppet Shw and many other Henson productions and talk show appearances. Characters to use this technique include The Snerfs, the Java creatures, The Bossmen, and The Gazelles.
The Danceros was performed by John Lovelady.
I'll post more "morsels" later.
