muppetbigwig: First of all, Welcome! Second, I honestly don't know if Gorgon Heap is the same monster from the inchworm skit. Third, Lenny the Lizard definately has some kind of big differences from the old Kermit from Sam and Friends, though I couldn't give you specifics off the top of my head.

abiraniriba: Pachalafaka? I haven't the faintest idea.

muppetmonster: About Bert's possible TMS counterpart. I don't think Marvin Suggs is Bert's counterpart at all. Yes, they are- er, were? Both voiced by Frank Oz. But that's not a lot to base off of, considering Ernie was voiced by Jim Henson and Lew Zealand was voiced by Jerry Nelson. Besides that, Marvin Suggs had quite the sadistic streak. His greatest pleasure seems to be making music by hitting the muppaphones. Sounds a little... I don't want to say "evil," but it doesn't exactly sound like a nice thing to do. Bert, on the other hand, has his peculiar interests, but none of them include bringing harm to any other person or thing. He's probably more like Sam with his seriousness, but Bert isn't really anywhere near as rigid as Sam. I mean, he likes to have fun, too, whereas Sam... um... yeah, he's Sam.

The monster from the Inch Worm skit was called Big V. He also made an appearance, I believe, in Hey Cinderella

Welcome Muppetbigwig!! Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that. I've seen another thread on here about the muppet theatre and pictures of the onethat it was based on. Maybe someone else can point you in that direction.

I'd like to know, what exactly are Whatnot Muppets, and how are they different from Anything Muppets?

Ooh, I can answer that!

Whatnots and Anything Muppets are basically what they are called. They're muppets that can be changed very easily to become different characters. Just throw on different eyes, nose, whatever, and it's a whole new muppet! So, what determines an Anything Muppet from a Whatnot? Simple as this: Anything Muppets are Sesame Street, Whatnots are The Muppet Show.

Okay, cool! That's it then, eh? Thank you! :big_grin: I am glad to know

Something I've noticed that's fun, Whatnots tend to change ALOT during the actual show! Like in the sketch "What Now, my Love?"

So what did happen in that sketch? I have the song on DVD, but I've never actually seen it. Just thought it was Miss Piggy singing more off-key than usual.
