Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
You are right, lol. They are assuming kids might watch this after all. ;) Kinda sad but, when I was a kid, the majority of documentaries you saw were on network TV and there was generally no cursing. And even with ones of tape, there was a sense of removing the language. I guess things are more...
Well I'm not sure but don't authors generally prefer not to censor their interviews? I do understand your concern, I don't like it when people curse too much either.
That's my feeling as well, lol. And I probably like Rizzo best as a solo in MTM, I thought he was hilarious there and the classic New Yorker, lol. But the two of them together is nice since it's Steve and Dave.
Hmm...basically Gonzo and Rizzo are a good team because they're so different and...
Lol, that's so true. The rule in Hollywood is, if you want them to seem foreign to an American audience, give them the British accent! Even when they're not supposed to be British! :insatiable:
Ok, finally got up the nerve!
I think they did a good job developing Mudwell and Wembley's friendship. Finally, they both find a friend who understand each other's unique qualities. And sadly we know it will be over so soon, expressing the unfairness of death.
Mudwell's mood swing was...
I don't recall it being mentioned; just that there was clearly some romantic connection (and tension since Piggy was flirting with George Hamilton).
Piggy does call him "Hubby" in the 30th anniversary special though, hehe.
I'm not sure the Muppets really have a concept of canon. They're more like the old Vaudeville skits or '30s comedy films, where you have the same characters in completely different circumstances each time (married then not married, cops then robbers etc).
I like to think they were married in...
Oh I'm the same way, lol.
I know that's one of the best parts, you hear him after every joke, lol. I was slightly perturbed that he clearly cut off his next introduction following Jim's speech, lol.
If you notice, as Jim is first walking up, you can hear Richard yelling for him to do...
Exactly, I mean I'm not saying the special should only be geared towards adults. I'm just saying there are many past Christmas specials that are meant primarily for children, but are deeper and challenging to kids (and also accessible to adults).
You know it didn't occur to me that this Santa...
Sure we all get something different out of it, that's as it should be. :) I think "Letters" was much better than VMC in that it was more sweet and uplifting. I just felt for me personally something like Muppet Family Christmas or Emmett Otter was a bit deeper. Not to say that there's anything...
Right absolutely, that is childlike. It's a wonderful thing. What I saw in the special was a little too childish (again, the distortion of childlike). ;)
Well it's not really saying child-anything is bad. Childish is meant as almost a distortion of childlike. The two do not go together. That's what I saw in this Christmas special a little bit (to keep it on topic ;) ).
And I was defending children before when I said kids should be allowed to be...
Well I think you have the childlike qualities, which is good. Childish rarely has good connotations in the English language. It indicates a lack of responsibility and usefulness to the world, it just means ridiculous. Childlike is a wonderful thing that I would never object to in a Christmas...
Well again, it's how you do it. I should have said it came across to me as too childish (which has negative connotation) and not childlike (positive connotation). :)
I liked him a lot as a kid when I saw GMC; I didn't realize until much later how campy he was supposed to be, lol. Still, I did like the part with one of his girls:
G: I don't know why you love her like you do!
N: I don't know why, I just do. :cry::mad: lol
