[minor muppetz]

here is an outline for an episode of The Jim Henson Hour.

Cold Opening/ Muppet Central
waldo shows Kermit, Clifford, Digit, and Vicki his impressions of a sun, a dark cloud, and a tornado.

Jim Hensons introduction
Jim Henson tells viewers to watch this instead of the weather, and introduces Kermit to tell the viewers why.

Introduction/ Muppet Central
kermit announces that tonights show focuses on weather, and that John Candy is the guest star, and gets blown away by the wind.

Muppet Central
Bean Bunny wears a raincoat, Gonzo wears winter gear, and Vicki wears a bikini suit, which Leon goes wild over.

A penguin sings to the sun.

Muppet Central
kermit interviews John candy (via monitor). John Candy says that he is starring in a remake of Gone With The Wind, and asks kermit to play a clip.

Gone With The Wind
John Candy plays a police officer who has to be out on the street during a wind storm. Zhondra plays a villian, who, with the help of Ubu, controls the weather, making it worse for the officer.

Muppet News
the newsman gives a weather report. he says that there may be an earthquack, and one happens in the newsroom.

Muppet Central
Kermit tells everybody that maybe they should go outside, but gonzo wants to stay inside (being in an earthquack-shaken house would be great research for his act).

Muppet Labs
Bunsen invents tornadoe repelleant, which guarantees that tornadoes wont be less that 30 yards away from whoever uses it. However, after beaker uses it, Bunsen is proved wrong: it actually attracts tornadoes (five of them at once).
