TMS outline- Red Skelton!

[Gorgon Heap]

Drat, I just figured out a way to improve the cold opening of the above:

After George takes away the varnish Red was given as coffee:

Scooter: "Can I get you anything else?"

Red: "Yeah, a nice big glass of battery acid."

Scooter: "Battery acid?!"

Red: "Yeah, with luck someone will get it wrong again."


Last line is tricky (still not just right), but you get the idea.

Very good writing GH.

Darn, I just thought of another improvement: when Piggy swings to karate chop Lothar, he ducks back inside the pot and she hits that. Although I'm betting many of you probably put that together in your own minds.

SKETCH: Red, accompanied by the Muppet swayback horse, plays Deadeye in a cowboy saloon

Is the Muppet horse Fred the Wonder Horse (of Sesame Street) or Paul Reveare (even though he was never built until the Bob Hope episode)?

Paul Revere. He is a swayback horse, remember.

Fozzie, Rowlf, Flower-Eating Monster, and some Whatnot cowboys.

Fozzie, Rowlf, Flower-Eating Monster, and some Whatnot cowboys.

And how would you know? Dave wrote this outline, not you.

Fozzie, Rowlf, Flower-Eating Monster, and some Whatnot cowboys.

Isn't that a pretty similar setup to the original cowboy sketch on the Juliet Prowse episode?

As to which Muppets appear in the Red Skelton cowboy sketch, make it Whatnots, Gonzo, and Fozzie.

I was debating listing the horse as being a real one, as TMS had 'real animal' mania during Season Two, using two real dogs, several live chickens, a piglet, a cow, and a goat. Why not a live swayback horse?

Who performed the following characters:

-the whatnots in the cowboy sketch
-Catgut

I suppose the role of Lothar would be reprised by Jim. Right?
