I'd give Carl one and a half notes. But I do think he is best served by the writers revealing only little tidbits about him. "I'm the youngest of nine!" And his aborted talking head in the first episode where he started talking about his father and the cameraman chases after Kermit and Piggy.

Pepe, I think needs a good scene partner to be funny. Back in those Toyota commercials wasn't he paired with Kermit in one? And then it was Rizzo and Rowlf in the other? Pepe can be effective with Rizzo. I think the Sean Penn/champagne exchange was hysterical. I wonder if they get paired so...

Here's why better guests/bigger roles result in no benefit to the Muppets. You tube. Anything anyone will want to watch is there. No ratings.

And I did not mean the post to be a rebuke. In short we both want the Muppets to do well. PS: The online ratings are recorded as well. So watch when/ where you can.

Over all I really liked it. I am a bit sad that most of the Kermit/Denise break up is happening off screen. But there is a sweet payoff to the Piggy/Deadly story line. And when Deadly steps on stage and sees his Muppet friends well I was a bit misty eyed. Plus everything and anything Carl or...

I think the creators relied to heavily on the dating plotline as their personal lives. Piggy and Kermit used to date. Piggy dated Topher Grace. Kermit is dating Denise. Fozzie is dating Becky. Becky's parents don't want Becky dating Fozzie. Gonzo and Camilla used to date. Gonzo attempts a...

It seems the general idea is the onstage talent is the host/hostess, the sidekick/announcer and the band leader/house band. Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel often involve the guests into games/sketches/bits, or sometimes they will air a pre-recorded sketch with other big stars not on the show that...

Jamie beat me to the comment, but as I was looking at the various accessories I wondered if Diamond Select was "spreading around" some pieces that could be used with other/many/all of the figures. To me the biggest clue was the easel with Gonzo. Clearly something (s) down the line will be able...

If there's to be a DVD set I would be very excited. DVD's and even Blu-ray are kind of disappearing in favor of digital copies. Assuming there will be one here are some thoughts: 1. The 10 minute pitch film. I know most (all?) of us fans have seen it, but I am sure many casual or new fans...

I see that the conversation has gone back to some of the salty language in the show. The Muppets have never been children's entertainment, however, in their scripted performances they have historically been 97% family friendly. I deduct a few points for explosions and eating of characters...

Ratings may also be a bit down as a number of states did not air the show at 8:30. I know Massachusetts and New Hampshire (and maybe all New England?) were running election coverage. The Muppets aired at 1:30 AM!. I just discovered my DVR was at least smart enough to tape it, so I will be...

A few more quick thoughts about what I hope can happen in the next five episodes. First of all there are 5, so about 100 minutes of content? Maybe a bit less. So I will try to be realistic. Relationships: 1. Gonzo and Camilla: What's up? Looks like that will be addressed next week. 2...

I am sure The Count is his own puppet by now. I have not seen the Henson interview you mention but maybe Jim was speaking more about the usefulness and creative template the Anything Muppets provide. Meaning they can be one spot characters, supporting or even main characters like The Count. I...

Well, we've already seen this season that Rizzo is a bad driver. The last time (I believe) we saw Gonzo drive his truck ended up upside down on top of Fozzie's car. So, if they needed one of the writers for the Uber bit then Pepe was their best choice.

I just saw the Facebook video on my wall. Janice's name has been corrected. I am sure the appropriate intern has been fired. ;-)

It is a delight when you see a performer who has an appreciation and perhaps a love of the Muppets along side them. Also a performer who is comfortable with performing with the Muppets. I know it is a very technical process so to make it look natural really does involve a lot from the human...

I haven't looked at the scene in a while, so it is possible Gonzo could be lost in the crowd. A few other possibilities: Maybe some repairs needed to be done to the puppet or costume and he was being worked on and they needed to continue filming; Maybe Dave was not available or, as you said...

I think a good way to look at this episode is like it is episode 1A of the first season. Not everything was in place, but there are a lot of good spots they can expand on. Here are my thoughts for what it is worth: I think the whole rebranding/rebooting/back from break worked well in this...

When Jim was still alive he would occasionally have Steve do the puppetry for Kermit if Jim's eyes were needed elsewhere such as directing etc. On the new Muppets TV show Eric has said that in scenes where Miss Piggy and Fozzie appear together he will perform whichever is more the focus of the...

Dwayne, don't sell yourself short. You tap dance quite well. And a one and a two and a...
