Dragon's Lair

  • Production Number 2011
  • Original Air Date: May 15, 1996

    The Ancient is suspected of the theft of a number of priceless Chinese artifacts, although it beats me how anyone could ever think a thing like that (unless, of course, they've been in his basement). Otherwise, this is a total rip-off of the plot of Jumanji, except without any of the animals or other cool special effects, or any children who know how to act, either.

    BLOOPER ALERT: While talking to Kermit, Museum Curator Blythe refers to the Dragon Lord as "Lord Dragon" and since both of the words are there, albeit in the wrong order, the director decides not to bother with a retake. <G>

    Almost interesting facts: Patrick Monkton made his first appearance as Museum Curator Blythe in "Sunday Afternoon in the Museum with George," and managed to blow some lines there, too! At least he is consistent, heh heh.

    Check it out! According to the official plotline, dark forces take control of Caine and his friends and alter their behavior. Below are some carefully-chosen examples of strange conduct:

  • Caine feels a great force blinding his senses
       Well, that doesn't seem much like altered behavior at all
  • Pita spends half the episode wandering around clueless that anything strange is going on at all
       Gosh, that seems pretty par for the course as well
  • Simms has no personal life
       Hmmm, that's not it either
  • Kermit tries to cover a bad hair day with a bit too much Brylcream
       Strike that one, too...
  • Strenlich intimidates a witness
       Nope, nothing new there, either
  • The 101st decides to arrest someone without a lick of evidence or any concrete reason to do so
       These dark forces gotta work a bit harder, hai lo?
  • Jody comes onto Pita shamelessly
       Say...when does the altered behavior actually start??
