Someone please re-verify this info for me.

Tom? Dave Ebersole?

I was shown 11/20/1969 for Mahna's date there, and I get two other dates:
Phillip Chapman says 1968, and on SS in 1969
MikeAlan shows it on SS in 1969
Danny Horn (TP) shows it in 1970

The Muppet Show date is listed as:
The date listed at Kermitage.com is Apr. 25, 1977.
Phil said he was on the Muppet Show in 1976.

Henson.com shows the date created as the 1960's.

What's the correct date for the Ed Sullivan appearance for SURE??

Also, I'm doing research on Mahna Mahna, and I found this website:
http://supi.hoc-media.de/5.html

So, what does all this stuff translate into? Anything I can use regarding OUR Mahna Mahna??

Actually, I think the site is about popcorn. It has one thing that says "Popcorn Units", and the background is of flying popcorn.

Mahna Mahna means "popping corn" in another language!!!:smile: :stick_out_tongue: :smile: :stick_out_tongue:

They spelled it Manah-Manah! Gasp!

The other night I had a nightmare about that brown-haired character, seriously. I dreamed I was on a bus, looking out a window, and saw a bunch of tv screens with Kermit on them (singing a song from Labyrinth, oddly enough) except one of the tv screens had Evil Brown-Haired Guy who was laughing evilly, and flew out of the screen towards me.. very terrifying.. luckily then I was suddenly somewhere else and he was gone, but he reappeared again later (it was a really long dream) but that time he was chained to a tree with a bunch of other random scary-looking Muppets as I was floating past in a flying boat. And no, I don't usually dream about Muppets.

I wrote the article and sent it to Scott to tweak. I make mention about the different spellings of Mahna-Mahna (the character and the song).

It was an interesting article after compiling all the information together!

By the way, my green fur came in today. They didn't have Kelly Green, so I settled for Emerald Green.

My Mahna is about to be completed!!
