Hey All,

I'm sure everyone's heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, so I was wondering if anyone on MC had ever done a Muppet one. If you don't how to play, here's how it works:

You have to connect a celebrity to Kermit the Frog in just 6 celebrites (and only through movies) When you solve it, you get to pick the next celebrity. For example:

Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise was in Jerry McGuire with Bonnie Hunt
Bonnie Hunt was in A Bugs Life with Madeline Kahn
Madeline Kahn was in History of the World part 2 with Mel Brooks
Mel Brooks was in The Muppet Movie with
Kermit the Frog

So here's the next one for someone to do:

Charlotte Rae (to make Byron happy)or Jack Lemmon

Janice & Mokey's Man

Lol, funny, but I'll go with a fave of mine first:

Lisa Kudrow was in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" with Mira Sorvino
Mira Sorvino was in "Mighty Aphrodite" with Woody Allen
Woody Allen was in "Annie Hall" with Diane Keaton
Diane Keaton was in "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin
Steve Martin was in "The Muppet Movie" with
Kermit the Frog

:D

Okay, now somebody do...um....Alec Baldwin.

Alec Baldwin was in Ghost of Mississippi with Whoopie Goldburg
Whoopie was in Rat Race with John Cleese
John Cleese was in the Great Muppet Caper with
Kermit the Frog!

This is fun!

I still Say Jack Lemmon or Tea Leoni now

How about Brat Packer and Facts of Life season 1 cast member Molly Ringwald?

Molly Ringwald was in Sixteen Candles with Anthony Michael Hall
Anthony Michael Hall was in National Lampoon's Vacation with Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase was in Foul Play with Dudley Moore
Dudley Moore was in Arthur with Liza Minnelli
Liza Minnelli was in The Muppets Take Manhattan with
Kermit the Frog!

How about FOL cast member George Clooney:

George was in Ocean's Eleven with Julia Roberts
Julia was in Stepmom with Susan Saradon
Susan was in Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Curry
Tim Curry was in Muppet Treasure Island with
Kermit the Frog

(Maybe I should have named this thread six degrees of FOL)

I got this one...

Jack Lemmon was in Grumpy Old Men with Ann Margaret
Ann Margaret was in Bye Bye Birdie with Dick Van Dyke
Dicka Van Dyke's wife on The Dick Van Dyke Show was Mary Tyler Moore
Mary Tyler Moore's neighbors on the Mary Tyler Moore Show were Valerie
Harper and Cloris Leachman
Valerie Harper was a guest On The Muppet Show with Kermit The Frog
or... Cloris Leachman was the secretary in The Mupet Movie with Kermit The Frog

Oh! I can do this one!

MuppetQuilter's cousin wrote Romy and Michele's High school reunion which starred Mira Sorvino
Mira Sorvino was in "Mighty Aphrodite" with Woody Allen
Woody Allen was in "Annie Hall" with Diane Keaton
Diane Keaton was in "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin
Steve Martin was in "The Muppet Movie" with
Kermit the Frog

Now, how's this: Katharine Hepburn in four

Katharine Hepburn was in Love Affair with Annette Bening
Annette Bening was in RIchard III with Maggie Smith
Maggie Smith was in Evil Under the Sun with Peter Ustinov
Peter Ustinov was a guest on TMS and in GMC

I can do it with all women, too:

Katharine Hepburn was in Philadelphia Story with Virginia Weidler
Virginia Weidler was in Babes on Broadway with Judy Garland
Judy Garland is Liza Minnelli's mom and they performed together a bunch of times
Liza was in MTM

Now, do Erol Flynn

It's funny this came up: back when the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon was popular, I used The Muppet Movie all the time, due to the sheer number of stars in it, and it was just one step away from Kevin Bacon.

BTW:
Kevin Bacon was in Planes Trains & Automobiles with Steve Martin
Steve Martin was in The Muppet Movie

Kevin Bacon was in The Big Picture with John Cleese/ John Cleese was in GMC....

Now to answer your question:

Errol Flynn was in The Lady from Shanghai with Orson Wells,
Orson Wells was in The Muppet Movie.

Or
Erroll Flynn was in The Sea Hawk with Claude Rains, who was in The Greatest Story Ever Told with Telly Savalas, who was in TMM


How about John Lennon?

Jeff, you missed the obvious:

Molly Ringwald was in Sixteen Candles with Anthony Michael Hall
Anthony Michael Hall was in National Lampoon's Vacation with Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase was in Follow That Bird and co-anchored (?) the news with Kermit the Frog...

not to mention that Chevy Chase was on Saturday Night Live with frequented (for a while) King Ploobis who was performed by Jim Henson who was personal assistant to Kermit the Frog. (Will that work?)

Even though Kevin Bacon has been done, I'm gonna have a go at it...

Kevin Bacon was in Murder in the First with Bill Barretta.
Bill Barretta was a hired hand in Muppet Treasure Island with Kermit the Frog...

It might not count, but I don't care (usually when I play these kinds of games I make up my own rules)...

--Matt You used TV shows Matt, which hard core players would throw out. Try this:

Jack Lemmon was in My Fellow Americans with Dan Ackroyd
Dan Ackroyd was in Anything But Trouble and Blues Brothers, both with John Candy
John Candy was in Follow That Bird with
Kermit the Frog.

Now someone do Buster Keeton (man these are getting harder and harder).

You also could have saved a step:
Jack Lemon was in JFK with John Candy also.

Buster Keaton is very easy:
Buster was in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with Milto Berle ~ Milton Berle was in The Muppet Movie

How about Steve Buscemi?

Halle Berry?

Halle Berry was in the Flintstones with John Goodman who performed with Rosanne who, on her talk show once, laid in bed with Kermit the Frog!

Did I do good? I know it ain't 6 degrees, but sometimes I just can't count that high.

Uncleduke gets the rules. NO TV, and when you get it, give a star for the next person.

Here goes John Lennon:

John Lennon was in A Hard Days Night with Ringo Starr
Ringo was in Candy with James Coburn
James Coburn was in The Muppet Movie with
Kermit the Frog

Dude, too many steps (9?), and you can't use relationships.

How about Bruce Lee was in Enter The Dragon with Jackie Chan who was in Shanghai Noon with Lucy Lui who was in Charlies Angels with Tim Curry who was in MTI with Kermit.

Dude, too many steps (9?), and you can't use relationships.

How about Bruce Lee was in Enter The Dragon with Jackie Chan who was in Shanghai Noon with Lucy Lui who was in Charlies Angels with Tim Curry who was in MTI with Kermit.

I am a little dissapointed that people are cheating, I was doing this from memory.....
That being said, someone else can take my turn, I'm outta here.

What, you think "Frank Oz who's tight with Kermit" is not a relationship? Even I didn't use that.

Yeah, I didn't even think to use Jackie Chan, I thought Lee was before his time. Also, now that I think of it, that girl in "Shanghai Noon" did look like Lucy Lui.

And Chan was in "Fist of Fury" with Lee.

You got me scratching my head. Who was John Laroquette in Twilight Zone. I'm running through all of the scenes in my head, and I don't remember him being in it at all. You sure you don't mean John Lithgow (of 3rd Rock From the Sun recent fame)??? If so, your 6 degrees don't work!

He was one of the Klansmen in the opening (Vic Morrow) segment.

I could have gone with Dan Akroyd (2 roles as the hitch-hiker at the begining and the ambulance driver at the end) , but I figured that path had already been traveled.

We can use Lithgow if you prefer, he was in Buckaroo Banzai with Christopher Lloyd who was in Back To The Future 2 with Joe Flarrehty (sp?) who was in Follow that Bird with Kermit.
Or we can Use William Shallert, (from the middle episode about the demonic kid), he was in Matinee with John Goodman who was in Blues Brothers 2000 with Frank Oz who was in The Muppet Movie with Kemit.
Or Albert Brooks (the Driver at the begining) who was in The Muse with Andie McDowell and she was in Muppets from Space with Kermit.
So there were many paths to take, I was just trying to use the most entertaining one.


BTW, Laroquette was also the voice-over for the opening narration of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!!
God I am glad to be able to put that Film History degree to good use at long last!

Now somebody do Mike Nelson (from MST3k... and yes, it was a movie)

AnthonyF3
07-25-2002, 01:18 PM
Assuming I can use This Island Earth, here it goes:

Mike Nelson was in MST3K: The Movie with Jeff Morrow
Jeff Morrow was in The Robe with Richard Burton
Richard Burton was in Cleopatra with Liz Taylor
Liz Taylor was in The Flintstones with John Goodman
John Goodman was in Monsters Inc. with Frank Oz
Frank Oz shares seven film credits with Kermit the Frog

Ummm, how about HR Pufnstuf. Can we do him? Again, there was a movie . . .

But honestly, I'm just that big of a movie dork that I can oftentimes do it in my head (yeah, I admit, I've seen the Olsen twins in To Grandmothers House We Go, not all of it, but enough to know that Rhea Perlman and Jerry Van Dyke were in it)

I agree that some folks here are cheating, and frankly that takes a lot of the fun out of it.

For Joey Ramone, I had ROCK N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL with P J Soles who was in Stripes with John Candy (and John Laroquette) John Candy was in Follow that Bird with Kermit.

And Jamie Farr (unassisted) was in The Cannonball Run with Jackie Chan who was in Shanghai Noon with Lucy Lui who was in Charlies Angels with TIM CURRY who was in Muppet Treasure Island with Kermit.

Now, was Joey Ramone in R&R H.S., I thought it was just the Ramone's music featured. Haven't seen it, so I could be wrong.

As far as cheating goes, nobody best be pointing fingers at me. I've used the internet twice for Joey Ramone and Gerry Parkes. Sue me if thats cheating. Who is everyone pointing fingers at? Uncle Duke? He claims to have film history backgrounds.

Now, I have no clue on Tom Waits. I know he did the score for Big Bad Love, but I don't think he had a cameo. Wasn't he in a movie with Henry Rollins though?

uncleduke
07-31-2002, 01:46 PM
All of the Ramones were in Rock N Roll High School, from the scene where Riff (PJ Soles) goes to the concert to the end. They show up at her school, and blow the place up at the end.
Actually Paul Bartell was also in that (as the Science teacher who blows up the mice) and he was in, I believe INTO THE NIGHT with Jim Henson!!! Anyone who loves cameos should watch Into the Night. It was made right after John Landis' TWILIGHT ZONE trial, and tons of directors performed cameos as a show of solidarity.
That plus Michelle Pfeiffer is nekkid in it.
It memory serves, Paul Bartel is a door man, and Henson is on the phone talking to Piggy.

I did not point a finger at you on the cheatin' your word is good enough for me. There are some admitted cheaters. I just think the game is more fun if you use your brain.
Tom Waits has actually been in a few movies. He started off in the Jim Jarmusch movies, Down By Law, and Mystery Train (voice only). He was also in The Fisher King (pan handler in Grannd Central Station), Dracula (Renfieild), and most recently Mystery Men (as thge seller of Non-lethal weapons). He should be fairly easy to link with any of those...
And I not only claim to have a degree in film history, I have one.

radionate
07-31-2002, 01:50 PM

Tom Waits was in Myster Men with Greg Kinnear

Peter Weller was in Robo Cop with Miguel Ferrer who was in TWIN PEAKS with Heather Graham who was in BOWFINGER with Steve Martin who was in the Muppet Movie with Kermit

That was harder than I thought it'd be. I wanted to start with Of Unknown Origin just to show off. But the only character from that movie I could remember besides him was the rat, and although it was a puppet, I doubt it ever worked with Kermie :D

Paul Reubens wasn't in Monkeybone though, it was a rumour that he'd be in it. However you can do it this way if you can include directors:

Dave Foley was in MonkeyBone, directed by Henry Selick
Henry Selick directed Nightmare Before Christmas with Paul Reubens, Paul Reubens was on Sesame Street "Put Down the Duckie" actually I don't know if that episode had Kermit..

You can do Jimmy Durante much quicker than that. He co-starred on stage in 1936 in the Cole Porter musical Red Hot & Blue. Ethel Merman was his co-star, and Bob Hope was also in it, and both Ethel Merman and Bob Hope guested on TMS.

Now SuperScooter, you did the last one (Joan Crawford), so who's next?
