waldo turns himself into a febuary calendar and kermit introduces the opening number.

Opening Number: That Old Black Magic
Rowlf (in a snazzy tuxedo) sings and plays the piano, and the girl who was Merlins Assistant sings along, and Rowlf keeps turning her into things, including a frog, a rabbit, a baseball bat, a bat, and a piano.

Muppet Central
A woman from the FCC informs kermtit hat the FCC has been getting a lot of complaints because Clifford is a purple guy who acts like a black guy (Kermit: "well, I'm a green guy but I act white, and you're blue but act like your white"). The FCC lady says that unless Kermit fires Clifford the station will be shut down.

The New Adventures of The Little Rascals
Eddie Murphy plays Buckwheat, Gonzo is Alfalfa (his few pieces of hair stick up), Leon is Stymie, Link is Porky, and Foo Foo is petey. They want to have a pizza, but they can't afford one. However, the pizzaria owner, Pops, offers to give them a free pizza if they can wash his car. They wash, but mistakenly use a brick as a sponge, gasoline as soap, and an extremely dirty towel to dry. When they are done, the car is destroyed and Pops is angry, but it turns out that one customer left before his Piza arrived (and after he paid), so everybody gets a pizza.

Muppet Central
Kermit talks to Leon, Vicki, Gonzo, Bean, and Lindberg about what he has to do. It's going to be tough to fire Clifford.

Amanda is playing with a black friend, who has Bootsy and brad play with a new neighbor (played by Eddie Murphy), who wants to teach them how to dance.

Another great outline! I love the plot line with Clifford. Extra kudos for Kermit's line, "well, I'm a green guy but I act white, and you're blue but act like your white". I also love the sketch with Dr. Strangepork, it's so funny!

Performers of certain Characters

In case you are wondering who certain characters are performed, The FCC lady is performed by Camille Bonora (sounding like meteora from The Christmas Toy), and the penguin who recites Martin Luther King jrs speech is performed by Dan Redican.

It's back!

Since this is Feburary, also known as Black History Month, I thought I'd bump this thread so that people can read it now.
