SPECIAL GUEST: DONALD O'CONNOR

OPENING THEME

OPENING NUMBER: Scooter and Annie Sue sing "Sixteen Going On Seventeen".

Waldorf: "I remember when I was sixteen going on seventeen..."

Statler: "Ah yes...would that be when the wheel was invented or when fire was discovered?"

BACKSTAGE: Fozzie announces to Kermit that he's taking a new career turn--he's going to attempt to be a serious dramatic actor.

GUEST STAR: Donald O'Connor sings "Moses" with Kermit.

Waldorf: "Bravo! I loved it!"

Statler: "He would...he was there when Moses parted the Red Sea!"

Waldorf: "Statler, you are working my last nerve tonight."

(Boober pops up)

Boober: "MY NERVES! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

(Statler and Waldorf exchange confused looks)

SKIT: "Veterinarian's Hospital"--Dr. Bob, Nurse Piggy, and Nurse Janice operate on Ferlinghetti Donizetti, who comes up with a clever rhyme and rap for every bad joke they tell.

BACKSTAGE: Fozzie tries to memorize a Shakespeare soliloquy but is failing miserably. Gonzo suggests he enhance his performance by reciting the soliloquy while attempting to shoe a horse.

UK SPOT: As Rowlf plays the piano, Gonzo sings "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park". At song's end, an enraged Bert storms the stage and orders his pigeons to go after Gonzo.

Statler: "Well, this is certainly different for Gonzo!"

Waldorf: "Yeah, he's usually hen-pecked!"

Both: "DOHHHHH, ho ho ho..."

SONG: The Electric Mayhem play and sing "Mama Told Me Not To Come"

SKIT: "Muppet Labs"--Dr. Bunsen Honeydew invents the Nerve-O-Matic 3000, which beeps every time the person attached to it gets nervous. However, he makes one fatal mistake--he has Boober as the first one to test it out. Naturally, the machine explodes due to a serious overload.

BACKSTAGE: After Bunsen and a smoldering Boober leave, Kermit laments to Donald O'Connor how everything's going wrong. Donald cheers Kermit up by singing "Put On A Happy Face" with him.

Bunsen: "I don't get it, Mr. Kermit. How did that experiment go wrong?"

Kermit: "Maybe you picked the wrong person...er, Fraggle to test it out on."

(a smoldering Boober walks past)

Bunsen: "How could ANYONE be so frightened that the Nerve-O-Matic 3000 would blow up?"

Boober: "MY NERVES!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Kermit: "Well...there's your answer..."

SKIT: Fozzie Bear attempts a Shakespearean soliloquy while shoeing Old Skyball Paint. Naturally he forgets his lines and the horse kicks him offstage.

Statler: "That's the best I've seen Fozzie in a long time!"

Waldorf: "Who knew that it took HORSE sense to improve his act?"

Both: "DOHHHH, ho ho ho..."

CLOSING NUMBER: Donald O'Connor and Fozzie (who announces he is returning to comedy) sing "Make 'Em Laugh" together.

CLOSING THEME

Waldorf: "Make 'em laugh?"

Statler: "Tough thing to do on this show!

Both: "DOHHHH, ho ho ho..."

Yessss! Finally, one of my favorite comedy songs makes it to a TMS outline! Gonzo singing this is very appropriate, Matt! And I liked Bert coming after him at the end of the song, too.

Overall another really good outline! Good to see you didn't stay away from writing them too long, Matt.
