Oops. The second "Giant" was actually supposed to be "Guard".

And I will answer your second big set of questions after my second class (as well as a few corrections).

I think I'll start doing wrist calisthenics now...

The Story of the Talking Cabbage: The Talking Cabbage
Is "Old Cabbage Head" rully his name or is that just an affecionate nickname?
Given that the story's title is The Story of the Talking Cabbage, shouldn't the cabbage be refered to as "The Talking Cabbage"?


It could be both, but the cabbage himself referred to himself as "Ol' Cabbagehead".

Musicians
Flash's Groupies, still need a descript to add them to the list
They're a group of female Whatnots with hair similar to Flash's (very frizzy, with a mullet).They're also wearing clothes similar to Flash's: a white shirt with a black vest.

Sergeant Killer Death Machine, still need the name of the human actor who played him.

The Ghost Story's Hotel Owner, still need the name of the human actor who portrayed her.

This week I've been taping JHH in a trade with Mikealan and have been able to get the list of credits while taping them. However, I haven't taped episodes 8-12 yet, so I couldn't get the credits for those.

Garbage
The Little Girl appears towards the beginning when the Garbage Bags are at Muppet Central. Waldo says: "Demographics alert! Ratings crisis! Bad reaction from the pre-teen females." Kermit says: "What, little girls don't like garbage?" The Little Girl then shows up on a monitor and says: "Like garbage? Eew, yuck. Stinko garbage."
That's actually a transformed Waldo. He's known for changing identities while staying with his notable characteristics (his nose, eyes, head shape, etc.).

The Fly, appears with the Garbage Bags at the beginning of the episode.
Probably not. I don't think they appear on the screen (just the noise).

After the Story of the Colorless Birds, Kermit jumps back into Muppet Central and the Garbage Bags. There's one giving a speech, sounding like Winston Churchill.
Should this one be added as a new entry, separate from the rest of the Garbage Bags?

I think he should be counted with the rest of the Garbage Bags.

The Female Human Mother, still need the name of the person who portrayed her.
I think she was a blond woman.

The Young Human Girl, still need the name of the person who portrayed her.
I think she was a blond girl.

The Harris Thompson and Sludge Waste Management Expert.
I had no idea how to describe this character. (Thanks!) He's a pink Whatnot with squarish nose, a patch over one eye, and wears a blue suit and sailor's hat. He had a corncob pipe in his mouth, and a gray scraggly beard.

Food
The Average Consumer appears after the opening number, the Food Chain Song.
Waldo says: Kermit, bad news from the world of ratings. Ever since the song stopped, we've been losing our ratings share!" Kermit says: "Well, you're the demographic expert. Uh, what do you suggest?" This woman then appears on screen and says: "Well, isn't there a show that would have more of an appeal to the average consumer?"

Yet again a transformed Waldo.

There's this character that shows up during the bit when Sheldon lands at the farm. He says: "Mmm, I didn't know grocery boys could fly."
That's a Muppet cow with lidless eyes and big horns. Probably shouldn't be listed.

The Cafe Teria's Rat Maitre D', need a descript and whether it should be added.
Now that he's got a name, he could be listed. It looks like Rizzo in a tuxedo.

Jacques Roach's Kitchen Assistants, need descripts and whether they should be added.
A group of rats dressed in hats and aprons.

The Vegetables, need a descript and whether they should be added.
*They sing the first four songs during the Let's Eat album infomercial, including Gouda Loving and Would You Like a Sprout Alfie?

I'm not sure.

The Singing Flowers, did these appear during the Food Chain Song?
They're the same flowers from the John Denver TMS episode (but it looks like a few more were built).

There were some characters who showed up during both the Food Chain Song and the closing number I need help identifying.
These include an Iguana, a TMS snake (with brown pupils, and whose red mouth was removed so he can swallow the lizard), a hawk (who was seen in dark lighting), Rezal Evad Gib, Luncheon Counter Monster, and Dog Lion.

The Song of the Cloud Forest
Were these Uprights present during the musical number "They're Out There Munchin' Forests"?
Should they be listed as "The Imaginary Uprights"? Or as "The Uprights"?

I'd call them "The Imaginary Uprights" and yes, they appeared during that song.

Nick, other than Nick the Anaconda was there any other character from JHH with this name?
I can't recall any.

The Garbage Bags
A group of garbage bags with eyes (either black, or holes), squarish noses, and black mouths with tongues. Some of them were tan lunch bags with scrunched-up faces.

The Screaming No-Nos
Tiny humans wearing brown suits.

Also need descripts of Beard, Flash, and the Female Drummer from Solid Foam.
Please post here if you guys can help finish off everything to complete the JHH additions to the master list.


Beard--similar to Zeke from the TMS Jug Band, Beard's head is almost entirely covered of yellow-orange feathers. He has a bushy moustache, hair (partly in a pigtail at the top), and long beard. He had a short, round orange nose, orange skin, green-tinted sunglasses, and dark green shirt.

Flash--a light-peached humanoid character with a slim Guy Smiley-esque head. He has black slants for eyes (as if they're closed), bushy brown eyebrows that move, a nose like Clifford's, bushy tan hair with a mullet, and an upper row of teeth. He wears a white shirt with black vest.

Female Drummer--the Zondra puppet with frizzy red hair and sunglasses.

E01. From the War and Peace segment, there were a group of Whatnots dressed as French, Russian, and German soldiers. Should these be added as "The War and Peace Soldiers"?
Sounds good to me.

E02. The Sheep, should this entry be added to the list or not?
Probably not; it's one of the sheep from TMS.

The Dog Stunt Crew: These were two dogs in casual clothing.
One of them was Mad Dog and is already on the list.
The other one was a yellowish dog with saggy jowls, a black nose, and dark eyes.
Was this the same "Yellow Dog" that appeared on JHAS?

The dog from JHAS was covered in lots of yarn, and the one from JHH isn't.

Should he be added as either "The Yellow Dog" or "The Dog Stunts Crewdog"?
The second one.

E05. The War Bugs were attacked by a butterfly with a machine gun.
Should this butterfly be listed separately or as part of the War Bugs?

Nah; there are too many butterflies in the Muppet productions (they're like letters and numbers from SS).

During the Response-a-Matic segment towards the end of the episode, there's a Star Trek parody. Here are the descripts I've gotten of both characters I need help with.
A humanoid Whatnot with reddish-brown hair who wore a sort of marroon Star Trek outfit.
The other is an off-white big-nosed Whatnot with sleepy eyes and brown hair.
Under what names should these characters be added to the list?

Maybe the characters from the "Respose-O-Matic" could be listed as:

Response-O-Matic: Link's Soap Opera Wife (JHH)
Response-O-Matic: The Sci-Fi Commanders (JHH)

Chip from Gorilla TV was aka Lester Z'Dwango on (MT).
Should there be a second entry for Lester Z'Dwango added to the list?

You probably need a second opinion on that; I don't have any of the MT episodes. :frown:

1 First order of business.
From the list Muppet_dk posted, is Margaret Moore the Fortuneteller in Lighthouse Island?
Are Reg and Vaughn the two thieves who break into the warehouse in Monster Maker?
Wasn't there a female secretary in Monster Maker? A female assistant of Chancy's?
If so, please provide info on her.


1) Yes, that is the actress who plays the Fortune Teller.
2) I'm not sure.
3) I believe that's his wife, Periwinkle. I think she was a middle-aged redhead.

Corrections:
The Soap Opera Husband has small black eyes under his eyebrows, and a line underneath them for a baggy-eye look.

Mack the Dog Waiter had only one visible black spot, around his eye.

Colleen Barker usually wore a straw hat with a pink flower in it, and a white dress with polka dots.

Blue Guy--has a big chin, wide eyes, and a triangular body. He had a green head and blue body.

Green Girl--has no eyes, pigtails, teeth on both jaws, and a red/yellow zigzag body.

Fern Rudd also had a tuft of green feathers at the top of her head.

Sorry if I haven't been able to get much descriptions on the human characters from Muppet and Storyteller segments. I'm not very good at describing them well. If you can give me another list, I can try.

The Devils are actually puppets, and that list includes the puppets and the voices.

OK then... How many devils are there in The Soldier and Death?
Also, what would you recommend for the inclusion of the Banting family from Monster Maker from the questions above?
As for descripts of characters I still need from the lettered list above... Xerus took care of the main cast of Muppets, only the White Lion's left. That and the human cast from the Storyteller tales and the Remaining Questions portion above.
And here's something else to ponder about: Xerus got me the names of four actors who appeared in Episode 05 of JHH. So far, I've only been able to confirm the appearance of three of them through www.imdb.com: Charles Dougherty, Karl Rumberg, and Don Draper. Kathleen Wirt is the only one who I haven't confirmed as appearing in Episode 05 of JHH. The problem is that www.imdb.com lists those actors as appearing as "Themselves" respectively and so I can't match anyone up with their onscreen appearance. If this proves to be a dead end for which even you guys are stumped, I'll just go ahead and add the characters from Miss Piggy's Hollywood leaving their actors' names for when I'm able to travel and do real research on the project.

Well, think that's enough for now to get you guys going.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good day.

I'm not sure, but you could label them all under "The Devils" and "The Soldier's Devil".

I guess I'd include first names since you want your list to be as complete as possible.

The White Lion is basically a life-sized white lion.

I'll get some descripts later.

PS: Those four names are probably from the "Miss Piggy's Hollywood" segment.

Hmmmm. The Devils for the rest of the group, and The Sodier's Devil for the one that comes to serve him later cause he lost his foot. Yeah, could do it that way.
As for the star character from Monster Maker, is it "Matt" or "Matthew" Banting?
As for the names supplied, thought that was the case, but since I can't match anyone up with the onscreen appearances I'll just add them to the list. Would guess Kathleen Wirt's the Rodeo Drive Saleswoman cause that's the only female unknown that showed up in the special. Well, hope to hear from you guys again soon.

The credits list it as "Matt", and that's what the other characters call him most of the time, so I'd go with "Matt Banting".
