If she has blondish hair, then I'd say it's Countess Dahling van Dahling.
And is the other one's name Countess von Backwards? Asking cause I saw on imdb.com they have it as "Countless".


The current one has blonde hair. I'll have to check "Unpaved" on the spelling.

Adventures of Trash Gordon: The Pots and Pansians.

Five grouches banging on pots and pans (with some wearing them on their chest or as hats).

The Gardener, from Desperate Houseplants.

Aka "Jesse Metcalfe Muppet"; a slim yellow AM with light tan overalls, blue neckerchief, and no shirt. He had short, frizzy black hair and eyebrows, orange eyelids, and a pink "ice cream cone" nose.

Also, who were the two plants in that sketch? Me thinks Stinky was one but who was the female-sounding plant?

Stinky was one of them, but the other was Stuckweed from "Grouchland", but with a different performer and eyelashes, so it's a different character. (I was thinking of calling her "Female Plant", but a friend suggested "Gabrielle Soleaf". :stick_out_tongue: )

And from a classic Ernie sketch, Forest Fashions.
Twiggy, the tree dressed for Winter.
Verushka, the tree dressed for Spring with the bird's nest.
Carol and Debbie, the two trees dressed for Summer with the hammock.
Tanya, the tree dressed for Fall.


All of them were thin realistic trees with Muppet faces. And Verushka (I checked on her spelling yesterday) had a small yellow bird in her nest.

Thanks pal...

So, who's Jesse Metcalfe? Should the character be listed as "The Gardener" or as "Jesse Metcalfe Muppet"?
And is "Gabrielle Soleaf" a suggested pun on the character's name from Desperate Housewives?

Check back with you later, gonna get some grub.

I looked up the gardener from "DH", and that's the name of the actor. I suggest using "The Gardener", though, since that's what he's referred to.

Yeah, but the plant was never referenced to by any name.

*In weak Ernie voice: OK.

Should the trees from Forest Fashions be grouped together or listed individually?
And you wouldn't happen to have a photo of the female plant from Desperate Houseplants would you? Or a link to a photo? If so, send it to my E-mail please so I can submit it to SecretSquirrel also.
Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon.

I'd go for a group listing.

And sorry, I don't have a photo.

OK, will work with what I got a bit later.

BTW: Should it be "Pansians" or "Panseans"?
"Pansians" gets me a pronunciation of (pan-sh-ians), but "Panseans" gets me a pronunciation of (pans-ians).
Just trying to get it fright. Hope to hear from you soon.

Ahem... After seeing Episode 4104, Grouch Apprentice...

Elmo's World: Rapunzel.
Was this a different character than the one in the classic News Flash segment?
If so, should she be added to the list?
And what about the prince in the bit where Elmo pretended to be Rapunzel?
Hope to hear from you guys soon and have a good day.

[\QUOTE]

According to the pics on "Unpaved," they both have blondish hair. That pic Dahling van Dahling, really doesn't look like the one on the show today, but maybe I'll check again.
