Mrs. Otter (a huge Downton Abbey fan) and I got a MAJOR charge out of this! A simple gag, well-executed...and what a treat to have Frank Oz back on deck for this one!

I'm EXTREMELY happy and impressed with all of this! :) I know it's early yet but I see the makings of a great, colourful, fun movie with a lot of terrific twists. Echoing the sentiments of previous MC members on this thread - isn't it great to see a Muppet movie promo shot with nothing but...

I'm with Dr. Tooth on this one. The idea of cramming as many characters as possible into the last film worked because of the nostalgia factor and the relaunch concept, particularly insofar as they were re-mounting The Muppet Show. (The sight of Link Hogthrob just chatting away with Bobby Benson...

Oh man, the Christmas episode! *slaps forehead* I can't believe I forgot that. I didn't see Larry Bird's Kermit impression but I distinctly remember "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" being played in the background for the climax. Very cool (and not just because I really like the...

Okay, did anybody else catch the use of "Rainbow Connection" audio and video from The Muppet Movie as part of Wednesday night's episode of the ABC comedy The Neighbors? The episode saw the Weaver family (who've unwittingly moved into a suburb full of aliens as per the premise of the show)...

I'm "late to the party" on this one but I just wanted to quickly comment that I loved this Kermit cameo. It was a smart decision on the part of both 30 Rock and the Muppet brain trust - he fit the scene perfectly. (Responding to Jack's "Thank you, Kermit, for explaining the afterlife to us" with...

I'm personally not a fan of Ricky Gervais (or his Golden Globes hosting style) but I'm sure he'll work just fine within the context of a Muppet movie, partly because of the above-posted Sesame clip and the previous comments. Remember, friends, this isn't "Ricky Gervais featuring The Muppets."...

Thumbs-up to Tina Fey!!! Merely a lukewarm reaction to "The Muppets...Again." Not the worst title we could have had, but even as a working title it shows a lack of imagination. I'm pulling for "World Wide Muppets" myself.

What a great surprise to get an alert from Muppet Central that the CW was running LTS last night! Mrs. Otter and I capped off a night of Christmas specials with this one and, once again, we really enjoyed it. It's not the best Muppet Christmas special I've ever seen but it's still a treat...

Ty Burrell could be one of the best casting choices for any Muppet production in the past 15 years. I've enjoyed his work on Modern Family since his debut - not only is he great at physical comedy and pratfalls but he has this wonderful sly wit that pops out when you least expect it. And he...

From the "Things You Don't Figure Out Until Well After The Fact" Department: I didn't realize until this morning, when I had "Let's Talk About Me" rumbling through my head as I finished my morning coffee, that the uncut version has an additional Muppet shout-out via the Tex Richman line "It...

I'm personally glad to see it rebranded as the Million Puppet March. I think it was exceptionally presumptuous for someone not connected to the Muppets to think they could use the brand name to draw attention to their cause. Now, I'm not saying the cause isn't just (I've been a fan of Canadian...

I recently had the strangest observation while thinking about the movie again (which I've been doing on a regular basis lately as we approach the first anniversary of its release and the Christmas season, which is always a Muppety time for me anyway)... Before Walter does his big debut in the...

And of course, Fozzie's topper to the whole sequence: "We've picked up a WEIRDO..."
