I think there was also a violet/pink monster that looked like a floppy-eared version of Boppity with a more noticable orange beak, wasn't there?

I think he was called "Purple Frackle", and wore something like the bib of a tuxedo.
I don't think so.

I think he came onto the show in the fifth season (but he was completely pink; they must've changed his face or dyed it a different color later on).

But the Kermitage says he performed with Vincent Price.

The picture is wrong; believe me, I've got that episode and he never appears in it.

Now that I re-read it, it said he "appeared in the background", so maybe he was either in the auidience or in the background of the closing number, we can't just make him out.

Oh well. *shrugs* I personally think they should have had more monsters around backstage than Tom/Dick/and Harry.
