1) Beautiful Day Monster
2) Boppity, Gloat, Beautiful Day and Miss Kitty
3) the yellow-haired jug-band member, Zelda Rose, Nigel, an Englishman, two women; there may have been more, I can't remember offhand
4) mostly the same ones that appeared in "Knees Up Mother Brown" in the Kenny Rogers episode, plus a dog, a bull and a few members of a German band; also, the song is called "The Old Bull and Bush", not "Rum". We have since corrected that.
5) afghan hound, Muppy (but w/different eyes), wolfhound, Rover Joe
6) Annie Sue, Link, a goat, I think a horse, and some pigs
7) none
8) Baskerville and four others, can't remember which ones at the moment
9) the wolfhound played a German, the beige-ish dog with a brown tuft of hair and brown ears played a Chinese woman, Muppy (but w/different eyes) was an Arab and the Afghan hound was a Southern woman; Rowlf wasn't in it, or Rover Joe, Baskerville might've; perhaps someone should try to do a screen capture (I don't have the facilities to do it myself)
10) Zelda Rose, an English gent (her dancing partner from the Carol Burnett episode) the bus driver and ticket taker (I guess) and several others; there was a dog and a baby, a Chinese man, the pink, large-nosed Muppet was a woman; these are hard questions to answer- how do you identify a whatnot?

That's the best I can do.

I was thinking about asking those UK Skit questions myself!

Now anyway, Gorgon Heap, I heard that there were two veddy British chaps in "Obladi-Oblada" in the Hal Linden ep. Can you remember what they looked like? I think they were in the Carol Burnett episode too, (i.e. one of them was Zelda Rose's dancing partner and the other one was bald with wild, gray, Larry Fine-like hair) but I could be wrong.

Thanks!

Anyway, can you describe what kinds of Whatnots the members of the German band from "The Old Bull and Bush" were? Can you name any particular characters that these Whatnots shared their heads with? They obviously wore German band clothes, but could you please describe what their costumes were like?

Thanks for your help, Gorgon Heap!

One was Big Mary Louise, Rowlf was on the piano in his blue striped outfit (same as "Knees Up Mother Brown"), there was a blue one (shared head with Marvin Suggs), and I can't remember the others offhand.

Thanks a whole LOT, Gorgon Heap! You are SUCH a TMS wizard!

Now, can you remember what the Englishman and the two women from "Dog Walk" looked like? Since they were obviously Whatnots, can you name a character or two they shared their heads with?

Thanks!

The Englishman was the gray whatnot with a round nose; in the opening credits, the guy in the Furniture Monsters bit, and others.

One woman had poofy hair and I guess was walking a poodle (you could only see the tails of the other dogs)- I think she shared a head with a female whatnot from the first season. The other, the one with brown curly hair, may have shared a head with Wanda.
