These are all great! So happy to see a wide variety of characters used in this campaign. I think the Fozzie, Janice and Uncle Deadly bits are my favourites. (Uncle Deadly! Seriously! Did ANYBODY see it coming that Uncle Deadly is emerging as a bit of a Muppet cult hero for the new millennium...

"Hey, if you add enough sugar to these things, they taste just like ginger ale..." :o

Probably the same person that came up with the idea to stick Ricky Gervais in Muppets Most Wanted. Or the person who hired Raquel Welch to guest-star on The Muppet Show. Hey, it's The Hatrack! I never trusted that hatrack... :D Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'll admit that I was...

I haven't had time to share my thoughts on this episode until now, and that's a shame because this was an AMAZING half-hour of TV and has not only become one of my favourite episodes of the series (tied with "Bear Left Then Bear Write") but one of my favourite Muppet productions of all time. Am...

I hope you can tell us why. I didn't want to come on here and mindlessly rave about how much I liked this episode after your post. Please know that you can go into more detail about your concerns if you feel up to it. (No pressure.) In light of this, I'll only say a few things for now: (1) I...

I really enjoyed it. Thought it was actually better than "Walk The Swine" in many respects although I didn't necessarily dislike that episode. I just felt the whole thing flowed better, had sharper writing, and was truer to the characters while still advancing storylines (within the episode and...

Thanks, MM. I was actually thinking about The Goldbergs myself in terms of ABC being patient with a heavily-promoted new series. In its first season, The Goldbergs actually aired at 9 EST on Tuesday nights (after Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) in a comedy block with the one-season wonder Trophy Wife...

I didn't think this episode was as funny or well-written as the first three but I still enjoyed it, from the pure entertainment standpoint as well as the continued development of previously-existing and relatively new character relationships. The highlight for me was the B-story of Fozzie and...

I haven't had a chance to comment on this episode yet and even though I'm a week late (and will soon be commenting on "Pig Out") I think it's worth offering some thoughts. From where I sit, this installment arguably did more to add layers to an existing Muppet relationship than any of the other...

Hi everybody - I wasn't sure where to post this since the official "reaction thread" on this forum doesn't look like it will go live until after the first episode airs on ABC tonight. But Mrs. Otter and I were pleasantly surprised to discover that The Muppets airs one night earlier in Canada (on...

I nearly keeled over at the Newsman's exit line (he usually doesn't get great lines and has to rely on something falling on top of him to generate a laugh). That was one of three or four times I laughed out loud while watching this - apart from the chuckles I was already getting from the...

Interesting to see that in the "Return of the Queen" NBA-Finals-tie-in promo, you hear Kermit's edgy "bacon-wrapped" line more clearly than in the trailer. ABC appears to be making it clear that this is how the network wants the series marketed, as a more in-your-face Muppet production than...

I think this is a marvelous idea - although, as much as I'd enjoy seeing a Muppet screening here... ...wouldn't we be more inclined to see it if the "mobile theatre" looked like this? Also: No Canadian screenings! What's up with that, ABC? We get your network up here! Ah well. I can't be...

Watched it again on Sunday night. On my fourth viewing, over a year after it finished its theatrical run, I still get a kick out of it. It's fun, snappy, inventive and colourful, with a lot of heart to boot, and I still sing along with most of the songs. (I'd like to smack the film critic who...

Well, there might actually be a neat little in-joke happening there because Pamela Anderson's middle name is Denise (she was actually billed as Pamela Denise Anderson in her appearances on the early run of Home Improvement and in her first season or two of Baywatch).

Left: An official Sesame Street merchandise image created by longtime MAD Magazine artist Jack Davis, who illustrated two of the magazine's parodies of the show in the 1970s. Right: The only time, as far as I know, that a Muppet appeared on a regular-issue MAD cover - this one published in the...

Bear Man's "uh-oh" is a concern worth airing (and I must admit I was surprised by how quickly the whole thing went from concept to pilot to series). For me, though, it's counterbalanced by the fact that Brady's had the series concept percolating for a decade, and that he sees the current...

I almost fell off the couch laughing when Chip said, "I think I was in a holiday special or something..." And Gonzo insisting, "We were in, like, six movies together and three TV series!" to earn Piggy's reply: "Um...Gary???" This is EXTREMELY promising from where I sit. There's enough...

About an hour after finding out the news of the series order, I got in my car to drive to my local barber shop, put the MMW soundtrack in the CD player, and sang along to "We're Doing A Sequel," replacing the word "sequel" with "series" and the word "studio" with "network." It was wonderfully...

"Could we do it all again - make 'em laugh like we did then? On the stage where we belong - we can harmonize for one more song" That's where my mind and heart are right now, people. I'll worry about the details of the show's format and demographics and target audience and "would anybody watch...
