who the hell is garrett gilchrist?
Garrett Gilchrist. Artist, filmmaker, writer, film editor, video restorationist, voice actor. I have been a professional artist and illustrator for over twenty years. I did cover art for dozens of retro video game releases. I did a 2011 comic called The Chosen Ones. I directed the 2007 feature Shamelessly She-Hulk. I spent nine years restoring Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut. I edited Super Mario Bros: The Morton Jankel Cut, and Star Wars: Deleted Magic. I restore and archive rare film and video, such as Jim Henson Muppet rarities and the restored Raggedy Ann & Andy 1977 UHD. I am an honorary member of American Cinema Editors. I run the Knights of the Lost Media (Rare and Obscure TV/Film) group on Facebook. I created WhoSprites, the Doctor Who Lost Episode Animation Project. I've been putting stuff on the internet, often anonymously, since the 90s. I try to make obscure things less obscure, and develop new techniques. If you're part of certain fandoms, or looking up certain films or TV shows, you're seeing my research and work without realizing it. I graduated USC film school in 2004. I've written fourteen screenplays, articles for magazines, a novel called Cratchit & Company, and other work in progress.

Ah yes, the Titanic, which famously did not take on structural damage and is still sailing to this day

what are the odds of more little Muppet monsters being found? watched all 3 (plus the 3 half episodes) we have with my girlfriend last night and adored it
(I restored what we could find of Little Muppet Monsters a few years back, including three unaired "half episodes" recovered from the collection of the late writer, Steve Morgenstern. One scene of Kermit typing from the unaired "Gunko" has become a meme.)
I really hope that more can be found, but it would take a search through archives. Perhaps other crew saved unaired material on VHS, as Steve did.
The puppet segments were shot for the whole season, involving the original Muppet Show cast playing their familiar characters. Miss Piggy, for example, is evident in a title sequence and a preview clip from another unaired episode. Fozzie, Kermit, Gonzo, Janice, Floyd, Animal, and Dr. Teeth appear.
I am hoping this material still survives. Presumably the scripts were written for the animated segments, and there were storyboards and probably voice recordings. Marvel was behind schedule, so they decided to scrap the show and focus on Muppet Babies.
Jim Henson had seen the success of Muppet Babies, and wanted to be involved in this show more directly. I'm sure he hoped that the result would be significantly better than Muppet Babies, but it's a real hodgepodge and the quality level is about the same or worse.
It's an interesting experiment and it deserves some sort of release with more unaired episodes, if they still survive. But Disney has not shown a lot of interest in this sort of thing.
