TMS Script- Rex Harrison

[Philip Kippel]

Gladys may have been, but her replacement Winny was only in one episode so I hardly count that.

Correction: Winny appeared in TWO Muppet show episodes: the ones with Arlo Guthrie and Kenny Rogers.

Grrr, I thought we had reached an understanding, TSF.

-the snake: doesn't speak
-the chickens: they don't speak
-the two season 5 frackles: they don't speak
-the penguins: they don't speak
-the Audrey Hepburn whatnot: Louise (although she doesn't talk, just screams weakly before getting eaten)
-Luncheon Counter Monster:
-the wolverine: Richard
-the cowboys: Jerry voices the one who leads the pack pushing Rex on the stage

Also, who appears in Rex's closing number besides the jugband and Sweetums?

Just more cowboys.

I'm impressed. It was a good read.
The whole penguin thing seemed very put on from the begining. You just wait for it to happen as soon as he says it.
Otherwise Classic stuff!

In the words of J.P. Grosse, "I hope you mean that as a compliment, frog!"

But yeah, TravellingMatt and I (he co-wrote the outline with me) wanted to use that penguin joke, which was spawned from a real incident btw, and that was how it ended up coming out. I wanted to save it for the end, for the last big punch line, in the goodnights.

Hello Gorgon.
Let me introduce myself. I'm a new junior member from Australia. I just want to say you are very clever to come up with your ideas for fictitious Muppet Shows. I hope you find the time to convert some more of them into full scripts sometime. They are brilliant.
If you have a moment to reply I would like to ask you a question please.
My favourite part of the Rex Harrison Script is the rendition of "I've grown accustomed to her face" when Luncheon Counter Monster eats the Whatnot girl and then tries to eat Rex's arm.
But I was just wondering did LCM ever actually eat another muppet on the real Muppet Show? I can't remember all the episodes clearly and I know he ate some things from time to time but I'm not sure if he ever ate someone or not.
If you can shed some light on this for me please I'd appreciate it.

Bill,

Kind of a gray area. On TMS, LCM did eat a Muppet computer, piece by piece, including it's puppet mouth. And he eyed the Male Koozebanian to eat at the end of the Roger Moore episode. Other than that, no, he never ate any Muppets on TMS.

However, I believe he ate an alligator in an episode of "The Jim Henson Hour". Someone else might have to double-check that for me.
