Haha!

Well just off the top of my head, (and I know this isn't a movie, but it's got the same feeling), in Muppets in Walt Disney World, the Electric Mayhem thinks they've seen Kermit and Dr. Teeth says, "I hope so, I miss his little flippery presence!" Then they see Kermit and Piggy on stage at the Indiana Jones show and Floyd asks "How'd all our friends get on this show?" I honestly can't seem them saying either statements on the old Muppet Show, lol.

Haha!

I thought it funny, as well.

Times have certainly changed, eh?

Well, some might see their softening in the movies and specials as a bad thing, but I honestly enjoy seeing them slightly less cynical occasionally (though again, I think we need both).

It's the more recent cruel and jaded tone I'm not happy about.

That's due to the cynical nature of this world, not of the world of The Muppets.

Well it's that the Muppets used to parody pop culture, but now they're blending in with it more.

Long story short, gang, we're all longing for the heyday of the Muppets, before the corporate interests got involved.

On to cheerier subjects: on this new set, I kinda like the Muppet melodrama sketches - after all, Wayne talks and acts an awful lot like Dudley Do-Right, and Uncle Deadly makes a good stand-in for Snidely Whiplash.

Well, you could see already via YT, but that would the episode's effect.

Yeah. That's why I wouldn't watch it on there.

Dose anybody feel that one reason the special features were not so great was because of the short amount of time between season 2 and 3?

Too bad corporate interests own the minds of the corporation members that own The Muppets now.

Lol, you know the Wayne/Dudley Do-Right connection never occured to me, but that completely makes sense! Kinda cocky, but completely delusional, hehe. Which is always very charming, Richard sort of always allowed himself (or his characters) to be the cocky delusional ones, in order to create the humor or get the moral lesson across in the end.

Cocky, delusional and thick-headed - but Dudley Do-Right's striving to uphold the Canadian way and the Mountie code, while Wayne's just in it to make himself look good.

It's like it says in The Works: "Smart and unpretentious, Jim loved to play dumb, pompous characters like Link Hogthrob." And that goes double for Richard; the puffed-up idiots are played by the smart, down to earth guy from the Bronx and from Closter.

I was in Jersey over the weekend; Mom and I were returning my grandmother to her place, now that commencement's done (at her age, she doesn't like tackling the major highways or the Turnpike anymore), and we were also there to scout out one of the newspapers I sent a resume to. While we were at it, we took a little side trip to Closter, for fun.
