I just read at the tvtome episode guide that in this movie Sam the Eagle had a full head of hair from taking medication. However, I don't remember that part in the movie. I actually thought that was the only scene where he was shown. Can someone give me more info on this? Thanks.

Sam asks about how he will afford his Propecia when Kermit tells the cast they will have to cut their salaries in order for the theatre to stay open.

It was during the scene where Kermit adresses everyone that they'll have to take massive pay cuts (by that I mean, work for free) and Sam has a full head of hair and asks (as Jedix said) "How will I afford My propicia?"

The joke being that Propicia is a drug made to stimulate hairgrowth in bald and Balding men, and Sam is a BALD EAGLE..

He also says laterr in the scene (holding a coffee Mug) "The words on my coffee cup are right! It's hard to soar with Eagles when you work for Turkeys"

He also appears in the alternate reality at the nightclub, and in a deleted scen as Baron von Scrooge... of course, still bald as ever! :attitude:

I see. I did miss the usual bald Sam the first time I saw the movie. I'll have to look for that next time I see the movie.
