Classic Muppets filming NBC Christmas special

Yeah. But with all this good news, I hope that the special lives up to the hype.

WHY can't you just be EXCITED for ONCE? YEESH!

*ahem* I don't know how it won't live up to the hype. LOOK at what we ALREADY know about it! It'll definitely be through the roof.

I am. Haven't you seen my other posts?

I just meant that I want it to be something to be proud of. I mean, there's been so many cases where something is hyped out the wazoo and it ends up falling flat. I just don't want that to happen with this special, as there's been too much put into it already.

I'm excited, but I'm also cautious. I think that makes sense.

Yes, it makes perfect sense, and I sincerely respect your opinion. Thank you for not over-analyzing EVERY post and just stating your opinion plain and simple, heralde.

That's exactly how I feel. Thanks for clarifying that for the rest of the people, heralde.

Wow, thanks! Yay I rock! Hehe

Anywho, there are two different schools of thought that often clash and some understanding is required. It is entirely possible this could be good. If not, I'll keep speaking out about getting the classic material more exposure (Well...I'll do that anyway ).

Haha old habits die hard, I always say. And there's really nothing wrong with fighting for the classic material! Where would we be without it?

But... I'm less and less apprehensive about the new material being release. If it's ANYTHING like the Muppets.com clips or the YouTube sketches we're looking at an hour's worth of complete gold.

I do appreciate your enthusiasm, really. I hope I don't get to the point where I reject everything new because of past experiences. Things should be judged individually.

There are two different schools of thought here, and it does require some understanding. Some are still hurting from previous projects, others are not as much.

And indeed, where would we be without the classics? Not here that's for sure!

Same. Everything has its own merit.
