-"Dacshund's Puppy Coaster" CO: More goofing around on set... goofing off seems to be our specialty!

-Scooter at Grand Ole Opry Intro/Outro: I visited Nashville, TN last summer, to attend a comedy conference and on my my trip home couldn't resist stopping off at the home of country music for a quick shoot! Not only is the Opry a staple in the country music scene, but also, I later learned, one of the locations Jim Henson and Frank Oz performed Rowlf the Dog for an episode of 'The Jimmy Dean Show' in 1965.

-Penny's Confessions: Think about it...

-Little Theater: Jack and the Beanstalk: Presented in the same style as our 'Cinderella', 'Oz', and 'Wonderland' shows, 'Jack and the Beanstalk' is the last in our line of  "dramas". Jack was originally to be played by Hermie, but changed last minute to Rory, because that just made more sense. In a parallel to our 'Wonderland' show, where Penny was surrounded largely by characters performed by myself, this episode features Rory surrounded by Alex Hubbard's characters.

-Calliope's Advice of the Day: I HAVE pondered that, Calliope, I have...

-Joke of the Day: A classic (horrible) Penny joke!
