TSF, you got a lot of these right, but out of curiosity, WHY do you insist on answering questions that are addressed to ME?

I also have some questions about the "Evil Ways" number:

Which specific bird does show turn into? Ohboy? Whaddasay? Forcryingoutloud? Righton? Ohreally? Youknow? Who?

Hadn't decided when I wrote it, but let's go with RightOn.

Which bear? Billy the Bear?

Yes.

Which specific fazoob?

Pink trumpet-nosed one.

Which specific dog? Muppy? Baskerville? Rover Joe? Afghan Hound? Who?

Baskerville.

Which monster? Boppity? Gloat? Luncheon Counter?

Boppity.

Which "bigger monster"? Gorgon Heap? Beautiful Day? Behemoth?

Gorgon Heap.

Which full-body monster? Timmy? DogLion? Big Mama? Thog? Sweetums? One of the Mutations?

Big Mama.

Which lizard? Lenny?

The lizard from "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas".

Which specific robot?

A generic one- I don't know of any existing robots that would fit the bill, certainly not the robot rabbit.

Which horse? Paul Reveare? Old Skyball Paint? Who?

Yes, Paul Revere. Remember, Old Skyball Paint wasn't created until near the end of Season Three, the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans episode.

Which clown? The one from the Joel Grey episode?

A Whatnot dressed as a clown.

"This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change..."

(She turns into a different woman)

"Baby.

When I come home..."

(She turns into yet another different woman)

I suppose that all of those different women are what-nots. Right?

(She turns into a baby.)

Which baby?

(She turns into an old lady.)

Which old lady? Granny the Gouger? Who?

(She turns into a cow)

Which cow? The one that looks like Sesame Street's Gladys?

"around" (she turns into a frog)

Which frog? Kermit? Robin? One of the generic "Frog Prince" frogs?

(She turns into a fox.)

Is that the same fox who appeared in such numbers as "When I Need You" in the Leo Sayer episode?

(Organ Solo: during the organ solo, she turns into a dog; the Whatnots pet the dog, who then turns into an alligator and chases them.

Which alligator? The big one or one of the smaller ones?

then a rat,

I supposed it's one of the "Muppet Musicians of Bremen" rats. Right?

then a giant monster whose feet alone are visible)

Which giant monster is that supposed to be? Is it the feet of one of the full-body monsters like Sweetums, Thog, Timmy, DogLion or one of the Mutations?

(She turns into a fish)

Which fish? One of the yellow ones?

(She turns into a chicken)

One of the usual generic chickens. Right?

(she turns into a goat)

That's the same goat that appeared in such numbers as "The Lonely Goatherd" in the Julie Andrews episode, "Upidee" in the Petula Clark episode, "Val-Da-Ree" in the John Denver episode, "Scarborough Fair" and "If I Were..." in the Paul Simon episode, "In the Navy" in the Roger Moore episode, etc. Right?

AT THE DANCE- the Moose is dancing around by himself, other couples watch

Woman: "Boy, that moose has got some style."

Man: "Of course. He's a styling moose."

(Cut to another couple, a middle-aged looking man and a young woman. A middle-aged looking woman walks up to them.)

Middle-aged woman: "So, Charles! I've finally caught you in the act! Let's see you waltz your way out of this one."

Charles: "I can't, dear... they're playing a fox trot."

(The fox trots by.)

Charles: "See?"

(Cut to Floyd and Janice. The moose dances near them.)

Janice: "Oh wow, what kind of dance is that moose doing?"

Floyd: "Hmm, maybe it's the moosed potato." (He chuckles.)

Janice: "Oh, rully! Rully!"

Which other couples are in this "At the Dance" segment?

SONG: "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella"- Link sings in a rainy set, but only gets through the first line before getting struck by lightning.

This is the same song that Farley and Oscar sang on "Sesame Street". Right?

Naturally, certain male Muppets (Floyd, Gonzo, Wayne) start championing their own significant others.

I suppose other male Muppets come into this scene to champion THEIR significant others in this the scene, in addition to Floyd, Gonzo and Wayne, including a what-not man, Droop, a male pig, the Male Koozebanian, a young boy, George and a male cow/bull. Right?

 

[TotallySpiesFan]

I suppose that all of those different women are what-nots. Right?

Actually, it was the same whatnot woman.

Which baby?

The one from Bobby Benson's baby band?

Which old lady? Granny the Gouger? Who?

A blue Whatnot with gray hair and coat.

Which cow? The one that looks like Sesame Street's Gladys?

Yes.

Which frog? Kermit? Robin? One of the generic "Frog Prince" frogs?

Dwayne the Frog.

Is that the same fox who appeared in such numbers as "When I Need You" in the Leo Sayer episode?

Yes.

Which alligator? The big one or one of the smaller ones?

The big one.

I supposed it's one of the "Muppet Musicians of Bremen" rats. Right?

Right.

Which giant monster is that supposed to be? Is it the feet of one of the full-body monsters like Sweetums, Thog, Timmy, DogLion or one of the Mutations?

Timmy.

Which fish? One of the yellow ones?

The ones from the opening number of the Gilda Radner episode.

One of the usual generic chickens. Right?

Right.

That's the same goat that appeared in such numbers as "The Lonely Goatherd" in the Julie Andrews episode, "Upidee" in the Petula Clark episode, "Val-Da-Ree" in the John Denver episode, "Scarborough Fair" and "If I Were..." in the Paul Simon episode, "In the Navy" in the Roger Moore episode, etc. Right?

Right.

Which other couples are in this "At the Dance" segment?

Youknow Bird with Droop, Afghan Hound with Boppity, and two Merdlidops.

This is the same song that Farley and Oscar sang on "Sesame Street". Right?

Right.

I suppose other male Muppets come into this scene to champion THEIR significant others in this the scene, in addition to Floyd, Gonzo and Wayne, including a what-not man, Droop, a male pig, the Male Koozebanian, a young boy, George and a male cow/bull. Right?

Right.

 

[Gorgon Heap]

TotallySpiesFan: please stop answering questions that are addressed to me. I would sincerely appreciate it.

I suppose that all of those different women are what-nots. Right?

Yes.

Which baby?

They all look pretty alike to me.

Which old lady? Granny the Gouger? Who?

Gerri & the Atrics piano player.

Which cow? The one that looks like Sesame Street's Gladys?

Yes.

Which frog? Kermit? Robin? One of the generic "Frog Prince" frogs?

Generic.

Is that the same fox who appeared in such numbers as "When I Need You" in the Leo Sayer episode?

Yes it is, in this number, "At the Dance", the closing number, and the goodnights.

Which alligator? The big one or one of the smaller ones?

The big one.

I supposed it's one of the "Muppet Musicians of Bremen" rats. Right?

Yeah.

Which giant monster is that supposed to be? Is it the feet of one of the full-body monsters like Sweetums, Thog, Timmy, DogLion or one of the Mutations?

Nope, just a pair of furry feet that takes up the whole screen- think "Miami Mice" from SS.

Which fish? One of the yellow ones?

I thought they were orange. Adjust the color on your set, dude.

One of the usual generic chickens. Right?

Um, is there another kind?

That's the same goat that appeared in such numbers as "The Lonely Goatherd" in the Julie Andrews episode, "Upidee" in the Petula Clark episode, "Val-Da-Ree" in the John Denver episode, "Scarborough Fair" and "If I Were..." in the Paul Simon episode, "In the Navy" in the Roger Moore episode, etc. Right?

Only one goat on TMS.

Which other couples are in this "At the Dance" segment?

Won't know that until I write the whole thing, assuming I ever do. The blue guy in plaid and the pink woman in the tutu with the rhino horn and black curly hair, they're there, just like the other "At the Dance" segments from that time.

This is the same song that Farley and Oscar sang on "Sesame Street". Right?

"Oh let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day-"

I suppose other male Muppets come into this scene to champion THEIR significant others in this the scene, in addition to Floyd, Gonzo and Wayne, including a what-not man, Droop, a male pig, the Male Koozebanian, a young boy, George and a male cow/bull. Right?

No, they don't ALL appear, just a few. If they were all there, they wouldn't all have lines, at any rate.

Gerri & the Atrics piano player.

Why her? Geri & the Atrics weren't created until Season 4, so it'd probably have to be another "old lady", whether it be a what-not or Granny the Gouger.

Also, you could maybe go with TSF's idea of Youknow Bird & Droop, Afghan Hound & Boppity and two Merdlidops being the other couples in this "At the Dance" segment.

Guess you've got me there.

Hmm, how about the pink, rhino-nosed woman in the tutu (Leticia) & the blue Whatnot man in flannel, two Merdlidops, and Harold the Woodpecker with a chicken?

Sounds okay by me.

 

[Gorgon Heap]

How about a second season style TMS outline with Shirley Jones?

Well, I'm not doing a Shirley Jones outline, but TravellingMatt did one:

Also, which creatures are hiding in Mary Louise's sleeves?
