    Muppets Now Episode 4 - Sleep Mode

    My favorite thing about this series is that it's the closest thing we've gotten so far to the 1970's series, even so far as bringing back the Talk Spot. I think the Beverly and Joe characters are hilarious and welcome new additions to the Muppets universe and I hope we see more of them in the...

    This will confirm whether or not I am totally insane...

    You're the first person I've heard that admires her legs; most people (myself included) look a little higher.

    This will confirm whether or not I am totally insane...

    Now that I've bingewatched all of Community, Alison Brie shot way up to the top of the list. Also, one of the earlier comments about some of these women being mothers has really been a sticking point with me and I honestly don't see what difference it makes.

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I'd like to defend myself six years after the fact: In sixteen years on this forum this is literally the only time I've insulted Brian Henson so I honestly don't know what Pinkflower is referring to. How does no one else see this as a huge missed opportunity in a Muppet movie where museums are...

    PA Voice: Other than the two actors Snowthy mentioned, Jamie Farr actually played it on the Pilot. Henry's departure: I'm sure you've all heard of the sketch on The Cher Show where Henry was in a life raft saying he was okay. If you take that as canon, the argument could be made that Henry...

    Again, thanks for asking in a totally non-polarizing way. I’ll secede to Snowthy’s mastery but in keeping with the military theme, if Snowthy’s a general, I’m at least a Lt. Colonel. Anyway, I'm mixed on Donald. Even though Season 5 is my favorite of the non-Trapper/Henry seasons, along with...

    And then of course there’s Captain Spaulding who’s the worst offender of these early MASH characters: a clearly up-and-coming young singer looking for some exposure, which is fine but MASH was the wrong show to put him on. You don’t buy him as a surgeon whatsoever and when he performs a song...

    Plus it was obvious that he was supposed to be the token Woody Allen character cuz God forbid we have one piece of 1970's media that doesn't incorporate Woody in some way. There was another early MASH character like that too: I can't remember his name but he was in the "5 O'Clock Charlie"...

    It's funny that I mentioned Matbo earlier as a joke because he'd be hollering bloody murder if he saw how MASH has dominated this thread. Ranking the seasons- I'd say the only good seasons were 1 thru 5 and 8. Whoja like better?- Well, I think it's clear by now that I like Frank better than...

    Would you rather have Henry as a boss? And I don't think Frank got his way that often.

    Sorry for so many single posts but I keep remembering characters I wanted to add: Peterman from Seinfeld and Ziva from NCIS.

    Well, I'm not talking about word for word copies of those episodes, just the basic concepts. Anyway, thought of a few more additions to my list: Ben from Parks & Rec and Claire/Mitchell from Modern Family.

    Here's something else that occurred to me: all the Ernest T.-centered episodes after "Mountain Wedding' would have been much better if Ernest T. had been swapped out for Rafe Hollister who A) was established already as a character B) is a much more sympathetic character and C) doesn't make my...

    Admittedly Carlton and Gina both had it coming and very much set themselves up to be made fun of. But you're right, the protagonists in their respective shows took it too far. I think he had less contempt for also Potter, Mulcahy, and Radar. Here's a fun hypothetical: what do you think the...

    By then, it was too little too late. He had already established himself as actually surpassing Frank in his pomposity. Charles and Frank both had the same entitlement issues and endured the same level of abuse from their bunkies, yet Frank would never outright give them the silent treatment...

    Aha, maybe I wasn't clear, hence the low post count. Break, not make. A little goes a long way. Plus, I feel that Fritzell/Greenbaum didn't write every single Ernest T. episode (not counting Malcolm at the Crossroads cuz by then they had left the show), that would have freed them up a little...

    The Decline of DVD Commentaries

    ^I would have never guessed that a movie that did average (at best) box office business would be devoid of criticism but obvi y'all proved me wrong.
