"Eatings" on The Muppet Show

[Philip Kippel]

Does anybody out there have a listing of all the "eatings" (Muppets/guest stars being eaten) that occured on The Muppet Show, when they occured, what episodes they occured in and who ate who?

I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks again. Bye for now.

I'am not sure but I think I can recall that Big Mamma ate miss piggy from time to time.

Hey!

"I'am not sure but I think I can recall that Big Mamma ate miss piggy from time to time"

Actually she only ate Miss Piggy once...in the Pigs In Space sketch, in the Carol Burnett episode!!!

I know that on The Muppet Family Christmas, The Sweedish Chef tried to cook Big Bird!

God...it's threads like this that make ya love bein' a huge Muppet freak-fan.

Do we have to limit it to the Muppet show?

Because on Ed Sullivan and related appearances, Kermit was eaten by a Gorgon Heap-esque looking monster in the original version of the skit in #28 Rich Little.

Kermit was also eaten by a piano in an Ed Sullivan sketch, after he played music to soothe savage beasts (Snerfs).

 

[BlueFrackle]

Dave,

You know the 'Music to Soove The Savage Beast' skit ?

Well there was another version with a Smaller Live Hand Puppet version of Splurge !

He was dancing on the Piano like the Snerf.

See ya

Gorgon Heap didn't really eat Kermit. Kermit escaped and hid in Statler and Waldorf's balcony.
