Hi Barry Lee,

just wondering from what special (or is it just a picture from one of the Muppet Annual Books) does the Sweetums one come from, the one with & in the background.

thanks

I have some info on Gloat:

Gloat is one of the Frackles; the green one with a short snout and teeth. Aptly named "Green Frackle", he was already seen in "The Great Santa Claus Switch", where he got his name. In this special, he had big eyes, a short beak, and no teeth. But that is when in the mid-70's, they added teeth for Gloat. He appeared in the crowd in the Wrestling segment of "The Muppet Show: Sex & Violence". In the Joel Grey episode, he said to a little girl-- "I've been trying to say I'm stuck on you!" He also appeared in "The Muppet Movie" and "The Muppets Go To The Movies". His later reappearances included "The Jim Henson Hour" and "Mopatop's Shop".

Barry-
Very good. An improvement. I can help with some pics. Do you have AIM? If so, IM me. I'm ryandil02. The only thing I suggest is to check your grammar on the bios (very difficult to read..adding periods, capital letters, and other punctuation helps)

Some corrections and additions:

Wissss: Performed by Richard Hunt and lived WITH Ploobis and Pueta. He was their son. He was a druggie, getting a "happy feeling" from smoking craters.

Thog: Performed by Jerry Nelson. He DID talk, numerous times.

Big Mamma: Performed by Louise (e at the end) Gold and Frank Oz (some 1980 skits, including the Dane Marathon Pigs in Space)and Jim Henson, In "We're Ugly as Sin" in the Milton Berle episode.

Doglion: Also on the Madeline Kahn episode in the unforgettable "Talk You Troubles Down" skit (AKA: " A Beautiful Day" Performed by Jerry, I believe.

Sweetums: Voiced by Danny Seagren in "The Frog Pince" and puppeteered by Jerry Nelson

Beautiful Day: Originated on The Ed Sullivan Show on a skit called "Beautiful Day" (see Doglion) Performed by Richard Hunt in the Paul Williams epsiode. Also made a cameo in Jim Henson Hour (can't remember performer....Gord Robertson?) (Where was he in MTM??????) Performed as Lulu by Frank Oz

Gloat: John Lovelady, Jim Henson, and others..performed in many more episodes than Vincent and Raquel

Timmy: Performed by Steve Whitmire

BTW, The ones on the bottom row are:
Uncle Deadly (Jerry Nelson)
One of The Mutatons (various)
Vazh (Ploobis' lover-on-the-side) (Fran Brill and unidentified performer in the first episode )

Hope this helps

Barry,

The site looks great so far! Here's something I can add,

Thig was performed by Frank Oz, if I remember correctly. Haven't seen that yet, but I have heard that he did.

Hope this helps a little!

Info on Miss Kitty:

Miss Kitty is one of the monsters; a purple one with a blue nose, black eyebrows, and teeth. He was first seen, though not yet named, in "The Great Santa Claus Switch", with a green nose. He was aptly named "Purple Monster", but he got his name in the Juliet Prowse episode of "The Muppet Show". Kitty appeared in the Seasons 1 and 2, The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, and on. He was usually performed by Dave Goelz, and sometimes Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Richard Hunt. In the Vincent Price episode, whereas he was doubled as Thudge McGerk, he was performed by Jerry Nelson. There, he had three eyes, green hair, long orange horns, and big, long, and ugly fangs.

A rebuilt Yorick puppet appeared in the Christopher Reeve episode of TMS and was performed by Jerry Nelson. He had red
pupils and looked more like an actual skull. A BLUE skull. Boppity
was performed by Dave Goelz,Richard Hunt, Frank Oz and
Jerry Nelson. He appeared in TMS, TGSCS, MCC,TMS:S&S, TMM,
TGMC, JHH,MT, MCT and Mopatop's Shop. He also made a background guest appearance on the Cosby Show and

beaks and kinds of ears. Beautiful Day was done by Jerry Nelson,
Richard Hunt and Jim Henson. Behemouth was performed by
Richard Hunt. Louise Gould performed with Jim Henson, Richard Hunt and Frank Oz. Another monster would be Blue Scoff performed by John Lovelady and Danceros also by Lovelady.
And don't forget Frank Oz's Snowths.... And Gonzo. They say
he's an alien but he's really Cigar Box;a Frackle. Which is a MONSTER. Also there is Tom,Dick and Harry. Performed by
Jerry(Nelson),Dave(Goelz) and John(Lovelady). Then Frank Oz's
Feather Boa Constrictor. Aaand Jerry Nelson's Feather Duster.
Sweetums is now performed by John Henson. I thought he was in
MTM.Oh well. I'd write more but I'm tired. Give me you're e-mail and I'll send you some Muppet monster pics.
Hope this helped.
