Good One, Minor Muppetz.

I think you did include one of Gonzo's best acts, the Hypnotive Act.

For the Pigs in Space sketch, the version in this outline would feature the ending Swinetrek shot in the John Cleese ep. before the curtain lowers.

You also would've included 'There's A New Sound', right?

What about this?:

FOZZIE: "S & W's opening comments began to be a little longer at this year."

SCOOTER: "That's STATLER & WALDORF, Fozzie."

(cut to: opening comments by S & W in the Liberace, Jean Stapleton, Leo Sayer, Elke Sommer, Helen Reddy, & Harry Belefonte episodes.)

GONZO: "Not ALL of the Opening Comments were by Statler & Waldorf, you know. In fact..."

(cut to: Gonzo & a Butterfly, Scooter telling someone to kill the light bulb, A sandbag falling on Beaugard's head, Scooter telling everyone to get onstage, and Beaugard having a script in his hands but trips and falls.)

And don't forget to include this in the 4th Season Yearbook Outline:

FOZZIE: "You know, we had two great moments both in one show."

KERMIT: "Oh, right, The Civil War Number is kind of... well, quasi-comedy."

FOZZIE: "And the other... indeed feature COMEDY!"

KERMIT: "Aha!"

(cut to: Why Can't We Be Friends, and Happy Wanderer.)
