    The Muppets Episode 14 - Little Green Lie

    I've been lax in giving my opinion of every episode individually but overall the adult content doesn't bother me. What does bother me is how hit and miss the writing is for the characters. Piggy, Rizzo/Pepe, and Animal are written the strongest, Kermit and Fozzie are touch and go, and Scooter...

    "Sing" Question

    I looked up that very video and I think the final verdict is that the original version is an amalgam of the two versions I mentioned in the OP.

    "Sing" Question

    Yes, but I've never heard the very original version, which is what I need to compare it to.

    "Sing" Question

    It did originate on Sesame Street and that's where the version with Alaina Reed came from. But both versions I mentioned came out after the song was first published so liberties could have been taken.

    "Sing" Question

    Between the Lena Horne performance on TMS and the Alaina Reed version on Sesame Street, which version is closer to the original published version of “Sing”?

    Favorite Sugith Varughese episode

    He is indeed credited at the end of every episode he wrote. He is also featured in the Jerry Juhl tribute and Season Two retrospective on the Season Two DVD's. Comparing and marginalizing your favorite TV shows can be fun, at least it is for me. That way you can see what the strengths and...

    Swedish Chef Theme

    Where could one get the instrumental Swedish Chef theme just by itself?

    Jim's Last Projects

    I just recently re watched the entire Storyteller series and I think that the reason why it doesn't come off so well is not just because of the writing but the fact that Jim didn't really seem to be able to compromise his budget like, say, Brian was. Now in terms of the writing I would have...

    Jim's Last Projects

    Universally MFC is a great special but I personally don't care for it, but I agree that the other two aren't great efforts, though I still enjoy them.

    Jim's Last Projects

    I didn't realize that the animated series was different from the 89 special, so no, that wasn't what I meant.

    Jim's Last Projects

    Has anyone else found that the last few projects that Jim worked on were pretty underwhelming? I'm mainly referring to Storyteller, Jim Henson Hour, Mother Goose Stories, Ghost of Faffner Hall, and Dog City.

    Level of digital puppetry

    Thank you for that link. The real bugaboo for me as a viewer was "I'm Number One" so I was glad that it was touched on.

    Level of digital puppetry

    Since computer animation was much more in vouge by the time The Muppets 2011 and Muppets Most Wanted were made, the temptation was there to make some of the more challenging puppet effects digital. I suspect that quite a substantial bit of Digital puppetry was used in those two films, but James...

    Kermit Unplugged Revisited

    I just realized that "Unpigged" got autocorrected and I can't fix it.

    Kermit Unplugged Revisited

    Kermit Unplugged was a 1994 cover album featuring the Muppets and various celebrities. I had the cassette growing up which was subsequently lost and I just recently bought it again on CD. I'm sad to say that listening to it 21 years later was a rather awkward experience given Jerry's death and...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    It's not really something that one can like or dislike, it simply exists. My point was because of its simplistic and repetitive melody and lyrics, it's not a song in the clinical sense.

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    I think referring to were all dudes as a song is a generous term. Not to keep harping on Will & Grace, but I think that that show is probably the biggest culprit of what you're talking about.
