The Muppet Show - S4 E3 P1/3 - Shields & Yarnell

[shadowcat75]

It was weird not to see their eyes blink!!

[NaiTaiDai]

"Cheap cheap!"

XD Who DOESN'T love that shot?

And is it me or do three of those birds look like they have that Wally Beatles haircut?

[Deanmo23]

Outside their Muppet Show appearances, four of the Take a Chance birds appeared in the Mopatop's Shop episode "Three Sale", three of them appeared in a Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss episode "The King's Beard" and one of them appeared in the same series episodes "The Gink" and "Norval the Great", as well as "The Christmas Toy" and the Kokomo music video.

[trailmixgang]

The weird thing is those are not robots...those are real people.

[NaiTaiDai]

Is it me or do the "boings" when the birds tumble off the wire seem a bit off?

[futuremadonna6]

I think Scooters right; Shields & Yarnell are weirder than the Muppets!

[JuddonMaster]

Them birds are really good singing Take A Chance on Me shame it's not all the song

[NaiTaiDai]

Anyone else notice that Gonzo had puffy powder blue eyelids in this opening? 

[AlmightyToonGod]

@NaiTaiDai That's because the vanishing act was a green-screen effect. And Gonzo's eyelids are green so that's why they disappeared.

RIP Lorene Yarnell 1944-2010 of Shields and Yarnell.

[NaiTaiDai]

"Boy, Kermi'ts finally booked guest stars weirder than we are!" XD

That robot act IS pretty weird, isn't it?

[maziebunny2]

[MermaidJassica]

[DarthWill3]

W: Hey, aren't we in the wrong place? S: I wish we were, but there's the Frog! S: That's what you would call a wire act. W: On this show, EVERYTHING'S a wire act. S: Oh? W: Sure. You keep asking "WIRE they doing that? Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! S: Is that their act? W: Yep. S: But how come they don't talk? W: Because it's MIME. S: I thought you said it was THEIRS!
