The believability is restricted to the universe in which the characters live. Superman is an alien from krypton with crazy god like powers, but if you put Santa in a superman movie it becomes silly. Same applies here.

Which recasts are you talking about? The ones starting in this special (meaning Janice, Scooter, Robin, and Floyd), or do you include Eric and everyone else in there? I agree that Robin was pretty lame, seemed more like a generic kid voice than Robin. Scooter's first scene was awful...

I liked almost everything in this movie up until they reach Santa's house. Up to that point it had good pacing for a special. Flying on the wing was great, being thrown out of the mail truck, going through security. It was all great, except one thing. Santa. The one thing that ruined the...

I like what Andrew said about the celeb cameo's. It is really funny seeing celebrities serve muppets. Thats whats great about them, the muppets are treated as being bigger than the celebs in their movies.

EM game? What EM game?

The marketing for the muppets these days is great. I love that the creativity is back to the muppets. That music compilation is freaking awesome.

This comic strip started out as a transformers comics but has since grown into a comic about anything 80's cartoon related. Today the artist touched on Fraggle Rock http://www.lilformers.com/

Also, even Sesame Street specials didn't out right show Santa. I don't know about the newer ones but Christmas Eve on Sesame Street didn't show Santa, it alluded to him. That's how it should be done. While this special does look well done and has the muppets in full form, I don't like that...

Exactly. They were adults that happened to be puppets. Of course since santa actually exists in this special I suppose it makes sense for them to believe in him, but wouldn't it have been better if they didn't believe and then found he was real? At least then they could still be adults...

In what production did the muppets meet santa? And I'm not talking about realism here. If you are talking about the clip from the NBC special then i already mentioned it as what I am worried about and that I hope it is kept to a minimum. And frankly there is a difference between a talking...

Well one thing about the clips that worries me is the part with Santa. I hope it is minimized. I'd rather have seen them do a wink and a nod that Santa is real instead of the muppets flat out meeting him. In Muppet Family christmas they did that and I thought it worked much better.

Does it bug anyone else that there seem to be two very different Fozzie puppets in this production? There is the one with the more pear shaped head and floppy ears and the newer one, that I prefer, that has ears that stand on their own and more of a taller head. Really throws off continuity...

oh I thought you were talking about the kit shown in the video. That is rather odd that they expect people to take the kit to FAO. If they could get there they wouldn't need to kit. And why make people pay 40 dollars so they can wait until Feb. 2009? Why not just wait without paying the...

no, they give you the kit so they have something to work off of.

That's not really something you get appraised. I'd bet the appraisal costs more than what it's worth.

That was actually pretty good. I like Pepe commenting on the absurdity of the post office being like that. Gonzo jumping on the conveyor belt was classic as well. It reminded me of GMC where he got his nose stuck and tells Fozzie he's got to try it. The werido is weird again. Bloomberg's...

David sounded nothing like Scooter on DC studio live. Ricky was far better and should continue. Brian was good as well. David's Scooter just sounded like every other character he does.

That seems odd to me since David Rudman doesn't perform any other muppet show characters, at least none I know of. I suppose he could perform a decent Sal. Seems like a character he could do, if Sal is even around anymore.

I don;t really see how you can see this as a pattern for performers characters since 2 spots are taken by Frank. I see it more as a pattern of main characters. So I would expect Gonzo or maybe Animal.

How could anyone have thought that was real?
