Which specific episodes of "The Muppet Show" did Mahna Mahna appear in and what scenes/sketches was he in? The ones I already know of are:

#1 Juliet Prowse: he sings “Mahna Mahna” with the 2 Snowths in the opening number, dances with Wanda in “At the Dance” and appears in Statler and Waldorf’s theater box at the end of the closing credits
#2 Connie Stevens: he dances with Miss Mousey in “At the Dance” and plays a musical triangle bell, bangs on Zoot’s saxophone, punches Zoot in the face and gets blown away by an explosion in “Sax and Violence”
#19 Vincent Price: he appears in the audience during the “Talk Spot”
#22 Ethel Merman: he’s the last audience member to exit the theater during Fozzie’s monologue
#32 Steve Martin: he appears throughout the episode, sitting in the audience among his fellow cast members
#37 Rudolf Nureyev: he sings in Rudolf’s closing number “Top Hat” and appears in the goodnights
#60 James Coco: he plays in the band in James’ closing number “Short People”
#65 Spike Milligan: he appears throughout the episode as a Hawaiian

I need the info, since I'm helping out with the character profile pages.

Did Mahna Mahna make more "Muppet Show" appearances than the ones I already listed?

Don't forget that on SS he sometimes had some grouchy-looking eyes! Fat Cat Scat is where you can see that. He performed Mahna Mahna on there as well.

I'm making a Mahna Mahna puppet, so if anybody has any orange or emerald green fur laying around (long pile shag fur) contact me: FozzieMup@aol.com

This is a great thread which I was planning on opening because I wanted to know about this character's history.

I didn't catch him in the Vincent Price and the Rudolf Nuryev episodes. I'll have to look for that again.

In the making of the Mahna Mahna puppet, I need Kelly Green long pile shag fur for the body. Please contact me if you have some you'd like to sell. I need a half-yard: FozzieMup@aol.com
