    ABC's 'The Muppets' Scores Full-Season Pickup

    When it was announced it was for a 13 episode commitment. Many new shows now start out this way. They network will give them a certain upfront episode order usually it's either 6 or 13, and based on ratings, reviews, the competition and other factors the network can order additional episodes...

    The Muppets Episode 5 - Walk the Swine

    Overall a good episode. I still think the writing can be tighter. Someone on another board commented that the Fozzie/Becky story did not have a proper beginning and the Rizzo/Scooter story did not have a proper ending. I agree. The poster suggested that Fozzie had gone to Gonzo, Rizzo and...

    Speculations for ABC's The Muppets

    He also played Droop in the behind the scenes features on The Muppets DVD. He would fit in easily. Or perhaps there is a new character to come that he will be responsible for.

    Speculations for ABC's The Muppets

    Oh, I know they have the technology, but I am guessing she is not at the top of the "To Do" list.

    Muppet Stuff store in NYC

    I was there only once. I will say 1980. I know it was post Muppet Movie and pre Great Muppet Caper. My family went to NYC so my sister could see a concert by one of her favorites. My reward for going was a trip to the store. There was a slight tinge of disappointment as I had spent many...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Look, he just skipped a grove again. Could happen to anybody. Well almost anybody.

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    This argument is not going to progress too far if all people keep bringing up are facts. (odd as that sounds). Yes, Kermit can be and has been mean, sarcastic, snide and at times has put the production over his friends. Miss Piggy can be and has been a diva, jealous, insecure and to a lesser...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    I agree. She knows them. It was an out of cannon laugh for the promo real. Although maybe she doesn't know Zoot's name - that blue guy over there.

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Yolanda is a treat. I agree about Robin. I am hoping they are saving him for a decent story rather than just a background character.

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Very good points, but I believe Piggy forgetting character's names was from the pitch video - which I do believe was not meant to have wide release. More of a behind the scenes thing that yes would eventually be seen, but not as soon as it was. I am glad they had Piggy back at work with the...

    Was Scooter Originally Meant to be a Whatnot?

    A very interesting question. I think they knew before filming that Scooter would be a main character and therefore they would not have other characters look similar to him. But a step or two back: He does share a similarity with other whatnots such as the Loud Lady and her Hermans. The loud...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    I'll go further than Heralde. Of the more vocal "critics" of the show here on the forum, I have not heard one of them say they were going to stop watching the show, rather I have heard some say they will continue to watch and hope for improvement. (If I missed someone saying they were...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Watching this a few additional times this morning I have a few additional thoughts. While there are glasses of alcohol at Zoot's table they could well belong to the other characters. And he is not seen imbibing, so in my mind I will believe he is still sober. There is of course the cookie...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    I would need to watch the scene again to determine if all of them were drinking heavily or just some. Bunsen and Beaker announce their intent to and Yolanda and Pepe were suffering the consequences of. Ed Helms bought Janice a drink. And clearly there was more, but off the top of my head I...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Just a few thoughts on this episode. Overall I enjoyed it. I believe I read that the first three episodes were filmed and the fourth was at the table read point before the pilot aired. I view these four as a set. They needed to introduce the format, the show within a show, how our main...

    Characters, Scenes and Stories you'd like to see on ABC's "The Muppets"

    I believe Seinfeld does play poker, so we're already halfway there. Not to micromanage your scene but what if Lew was pitching ideas to Fozzie for a comedy act/sketch and Fozzie was receptive except "No fish, Lew" and no matter how hard he tries - for Lew? It all comes back to the fish...

    Characters, Scenes and Stories you'd like to see on ABC's "The Muppets"

    Walter's absence puzzles me as well. I know Peter is there, but I guess maybe right-handing or doubling with some of the other guys characters? I may be misremembering, but didn't Peter also perform Droop or JG (or both?) on some of the behind the scenes extras from The Muppets? Even if they...
