sketch lists

Regarding the list of sketches we have on every episode, I wonder if there's a better way to include the antics we currently cite on some pages by indenting under the Theme Song. When we discussed the issue of listing "Highlights" (which became "Songs/Sketches") months ago, there was a general consensus that the bulleted list was neat and easy to read. To me, the indented bullet stands out and looks messy in this case. Is there another way we could do it so that the lists remain tidy? — Scott (talk) 14:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, that comment was me. I must have typed an extra tilde. Anyway, I'm thinking that taking the bullet away on those lists and leaving the sub-filtered Theme Song text just plainly indented looks better. So, I'm gonna go ahead and do that. — Scott (talk) 17:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Works for me, but what do you think about a single space between the Fozzie and Gonzo bits? Check out the example I jsut made on Episode 101: Juliet Prowse? -- Peter (talk) 17:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I've noticed that an extra line in the code doesn't make much of a difference in spacing on the final page. It just splits the code up. I've looked at it in Opera, IE and Firefox and they all seem to do the same. — Scott (talk) 17:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Background Muppets

I've been wondering about what constitutes someone being classified as a main Muppet under each episode's cast listing as opposed to a Background Muppet. Mahna Mahna, for example, is listed as a Background Muppet in Episode 102 even though he's in Sax and Violence and Dr. Teeth & Janice are listed as a BM in Episode 104 even though the Mayhem plays the opening number.

I don't know if we ever talked about this, but I wanted to open it up before changing stuff around. --Peter Pantalones 18:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

"Background Muppets" are supposed to be characters that don't speak or have a major role in the episode. If characters are in the wrong place, it's probably a mistake. Feel free to move 'em around. -- Danny Toughpigs 03:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Production Dates

Are the production on Kermitage reliable? I'm pretty sure that air dates were different around the country, so where did they get those? --Peter Pantalones 18:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, Kermitage used the earliest known airings of each episode. As for production dates, I have no idea. They had been doing the site with help from Henson, so maybe it's from an official list. -- Scott, Scarecroe 18:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds reliable enough. --Peter Pantalones 18:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Guest Puppeteers

Which episodes had guest puppeteers? I seem to remember one (which actually scared me as a child) of a tale of a girl and a dragon. Possibly Bunraku style? -- User:Kmcnay 23:24, March 8, 2006

Normally, I would suggest that this type of question is more suitable for a discussion forum, but you did inspire me to create this list: Guest Puppeteers on The Muppet Show... of which there are more I'm sure. -- Scott Scarecroe 04:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
