Hi Everyone.

I was wondering if UD appeared in any backstage scenes other than "Phantom plotline","consider yourself" and lurking near a dressing room door fleetingly in the Vincent price episode?

If so what did he say and do?

Hi... For as best a detailed list of Uncle Deadly's onscreen filmography during the Muppet Show's run, I'd recommend you go and search for the phantomly dragon at Muppet Wiki. They usually list a character's appearances, so I hope this helps.

Hi Count

Done the research at Wiki a` long time ago. No it's a backstage scene that takes place after a Melodrama - i think i must have missed this episode back in the day.

I'll have to be patient and wait for the next season (Three).

I'm not sure about this, but he was in a song with a whatnot Muppet, "The Sheik Of Araby". Maybe he was backstage after this....? :confused:

Well... The appearance as part of "Consider Yourself" is from the Edgar Berghen episode from Season 2... So you should find his performance as the Shiek of Araby there too, from the Burnadette Peters episode. He was also in the showtune sing-along with Ethel Merman in Season 1. But as for the Muppet Melodrama sketches, those included him, Wayne, and Miss Piggy, found in Season 3 episodes. Search for Muppet Melodramas at the Wiki and you might find the specific episodes. Once you have those, check and see if some of the tape traders here on the boards have those episodes and can help you out.

I can't remember the specifics (it's been a while since I saw the episode), but after the Melodrama sketch on the Gilda Radner show, Uncle Deadly is karate chopped by Miss Piggy backstage for some reason...

Yeah... That's because he takes the time to instruct Wayne (our hero""?) on proper dance step performance. Which gets them a karate chop from Piggy as they neglected to rescue her instead.

Just the idea of Miss Piggy giving Uncle Deadly a karate chop is :zany:
