Thanks for the answers so far, anathema.

Question #1 also asked for who appeared in "Comedy Tonight". Can you be able to answer that one too, please.

Also, who appeared in "Wilkommen"?

 

[anathema]

Well, I do have the episode, but I don't know the names of half the characters! I'll take a look through the Kermitage guide and refresh my memory, and then post some more for you

I do have copies of some of the other shows you're asking about, but unfortunately they're mute, and as I've never actually seen them, I can't easily identify the segments you're asking about. If you can give me some more details I can pin them down for you. The shows are: Spike Milligan, Cheryl Ladd and Shields & Yarnell.

I've also just remembered that I've got a copy of the Anne Murray show on tape somewhere - I'll dig this out and take a look at some point.

All the first season monsters barring Behemoth and all the full-bodied monsters were in "Comedy Tonight" (Gorgon Heap was in it too). Svengali (from "You Do Something to Me"), Mary Louise (the little girl Muppet), a clown, and several Whatnots were in it too.

"Wilkommen"- I'll do this by table:
Mildred, Gonzo, and the Jerry Nelson Muppet
Wayne & Wanda
Zoot & Janice
Gloat and Droop
Dr. Teeth and 'Sexy Muppet'

The band- Muppy, Baskerville and Catgut
Two chorus girl pigs (not Piggy)

Kermit pops in to say one line as well.

Thanks again.

Now, can I please have answers to the rest of my questions?

 

[Bulldawg]

woah...thats a lot of questions.

 

[BlueAM]

Good description of "Comedy Tonight", Gorgon Heap! I saw the Joel Grey episode twice, only when I was about 7. So, I wanna know:

Could you describe what type of Whatnot the clown in that number was? Be sure to name any other Whatnot Muppets that had the same head as him.

Also, could you describe what the other Whatnots in that number looked like (other than Svengali and Mary Louise)? Do your best!

Thanks!

The clown bore a striking resemblance to the Mary Louise puppet.
