The Sesame Street Martians may be a stretch as they are owned by Sesame Workshop and not Disney. The Denise/Piggy scene is a must have for sure. I am guessing she'll have to pop up again pretty soon. Fozzie and Becky also seem to have fallen by the wayside, but I am pretty certain she will...

Hi Folks - OK, so I pose to you three questions: Which Muppet character would you be most pleased to see in a background cameo on the show? The best example is Beautiful Day Monster videobombing Pepe. What two characters would you like to see share a scene? It can be either an incidental...

One possible positive outcome of their popularity is that there may be additional Muppet videos/productions/films and/or less studio oversight allowing them to return a bit more to the characters you and many others fondly recall. If these potential future productions continue with the tone...

You probably need to start doing some deep breathing exercises because I will bet a dollar (that's right a whole dollar) he will be in more shows than not.

I have an etiquette question for Philip or The Count or one of the other moderators here. If I wanted to start a thread about things we hope to see on the new Muppets show, which board should it be posted? Classic Muppets seems to be more of the original show. These threads are specific to...

Oh if I never see Chip again I would be happy. But as I said Bill Prady....he'll be around.

The Who Are You bit for Chip began in the pilot preview. Chip and several other minor or obscure Muppets ask Kermit if there will a place for them in the show. Some of the others were Beautiful Day Monster and Happy Yellow Creature/Thingy-Thing. Kermit says yes there will be, but then asks...

Another good episode. I am glad we were able to see Kermit with Fozzie. Hopefully we'll get to see Kermit have some more screen time with the other major players. He definitely needs an episode focused on Gonzo. But some screen time with Rowlf and Pepe would be nice. Rizzo too, but since...

I may be misremembering or combining different stories, but when I saw Dave Goelz give a talk a few years back he was commenting that there was not a specific Camilla puppet. They would grab any chicken and use it. Jerry Nelson always tried to use one with blue eye lids but it was not always...

Looking at the production credits for The Muppets there are five people credited as executive producers (For shows filmed in L.A. all staff writers receive some sort of producer credit. Whether they wrote the actual script of that episode or not). Bill Prady and Bob Kushell who are the show...

I am a bit on the fence with this one. Jim was involved in season one of SNL. If ever there was a set where drugs were in use (not by all) but by some (a lot). To me the Mayhem was always cool and cool without drugs because their coolness came from within. Zoot, to me was the exception, and...

Lady Warrior, I have an overall higher opinion of the show, but I think some of your points are spot on. Piggy's post snuggling of Josh Groban is certainly the most explicit furthest point I want the adult content to go. Yes the Muppet Show regularly featured Piggy (and sometimes Kermit or...

Goodness I just noticed you have 30,000 posts. I just got a note congratulating me on my 30th. (I have a lot of work to do). I agree with your point that demographics are as distant as they have ever been. With cable (even basic cable) providing so many options people watch what they like...

I don't know the ins and outs of network minds, but I would bet they would not do something like this at this point in time. They have promoted the show so heavily that I think they want to make each airing an event. Having it trickle out lessens its impact. They may be listing it on your...

D'Snowth I agree with all you say. My hope is that The Muppets becomes that show that may push boundaries here or there or occasionally but is still a wholesome show that you, your kids, your grandparents, your cool teen neighbors could all watch and enjoy. Side note about Serena, there was...

You are confusing Elizabeth Banks with Elizabeth Berkely who was in Saved by the Bell and Showgirls. Elizabeth Banks has been in all the Hunger Game films, many of the Spider Man films as well as being Jack's wife on 30 Rock and recurring roles on Modern Family and Scrubs plus roles in...

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I understand what you're saying in your post, so I did not want to dismiss it, but Jeannie can be a little problematic as far as sexuality and gender roles. But your main point is valid it was an innocent sexuality - if that is a legit term. I am hoping...

You may have picked the wrong sitcom to site as an example - maybe Bewitched would have been better? Yeah not much swearing on Jeannie. But you do have a somewhat scantily clad woman (bare midriff at least) promising her "Master" to fulfill his desires. They were playing very heavily on sex...

Another line I remembered this morning and still made me laugh: (and I may be paraphrasing here) Scooter: Kermit and I have worked together for so long that when he gives me a look I know - that I need to go and ask him what that look was all about.

Looking at real life late night chat the host(ess) does have some banter and rapport with the band, so perhaps if not a full plotline at least more involvement will happen.
