Well this show sorta is and sorta isn't; at least alot of the material is intelligent instead of stupid. I think the Muppet Show was originally shown on prime time TV.
Yeah, in Muppet Show season one, his character was still developing. Since then, his nose is smoother and less wart-riddled looking. He also doesn't have the black stringy hair anymore.
Paul Williams is a brilliant songwriter, but I never cared much for his singing. Just something about the way he overinnunciates his L's. Definitely an underrated songwriter though, just like Laura Nyro and Nellie McKay.
Actually Mr. Williams has a new cd out. A stage musical of " Happy Days" words and music by Paul Williams. I bought the cd a month ago. It's really good.
its a non pc pun, his name is frank ozconwiz, fozzie played a character who is polish, and he is the "TELEPHONE POLE" pole as in polish person and pun telephone pole
-It's a pun; when they say 'pole', they mean Pole is in they're from Poland - Ozniwinski is a Polish name (and actually is Frank Oz's original last name, i think)
I never really understood that joke before even as a child...until I heard Archie Bunker said and I asked my mom. needless to say she was frowning at that.
next to Jim Henson, Frank Oz was the muppets....LEARN YOUR HISTORY
