Thog



Thog is a nine and a half foot tall blue monster. His size may make him imposing, but he has a very sweet and gentle disposition.

He first appeared as a frackle in 1970's The Great Santa Claus Switch, with his partner Thig. In 1973, he was featured prominently in a dance number with Julie Andrews in The Julie Andrews Hour. He also had a featured number in The Muppets Valentine Show, singing and dancing with "Real Live Girl" Mia Farrow.

On The Muppet Show, he could be seen in the opening theme from season two and on, and appeared in a number of segments including: as a "dangerous" animal in episode 110, singing "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?" with Kaye Ballard in episode 123, detonating a blast for "School's Out" in episode 307, and demolishing a desert research facility in Loretta Swit's number, I Feel the Earth Move in episode 502.

In 2003, Palisades Toys released a PVC mini figure of him.
