Now see, Marky--I knew you were a big softee. (A big DRY softee, but a softee nonetheless.) That scene also makes me very sad, because there are a lot of us everyday divas out there who still have hopes and dreams. Seeing Piggy have hers come true reminds us that it CAN happen, and it DOES...

Did anyone other than me notice that Piggy's apron say "Felines Navidad"? Love the attention to detail!

So it's okay to use someone if you're desperate? Not in my book. Besides, what about all that smooching at the end? If he's just happy to be back, there were plenty of chorus girls around, but he specifically sought out Piggy--in both timelines. Piggy's pretty proud. Although Kermit's...

Frog in Denial Yeah--and what the heck is THAT about? Why does anyone think it's clever and hip or funny (not!) for Kermit to deny something we all saw him do. Even in the 30-year celebration tape, Piggy introduces Kermit as "a happily married frog." I think one of the most touching...

When I was a kid, living in the wasteland of two television stations, 3 if you got cable (as opposed to the wasteland of 300+ that we have now), my mother did not allow us to watch soap operas. Even though my mom was a school teacher, we beat her home from school by a good 30-45 minutes, and...

Revolutionary concept Oh my gosh--you think parents should, like, KNOW what their children are watching? What a revolutionary concept! Talking with some other moms lately, I mentioned that my kids had TVs in their rooms. One mother appeared surprised (and maybe a little self-righteous)...

Nice to see a stream of consciousness bit--enjoyed it!

(Sorry to stage-direct, but you HAVE to know: Piggy and Kermit are long-time married now; Piggy's on Broadway, starring in "Grease"; Kermit and Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo and Pepe were traveling on movie-related business and got unexpectedly held over in New York, where the airline put them all...

Is it just me, or did Piggy slim down some for her Pizza Hut commercial? Maybe it was just the lighting and the boots and the hair, but all my old, um, I mean mature Muppet collectibles (Miss Piggy’s Guide to Life, Miss Piggy Calendar, Miss Piggy paper doll, etc.) show her with irresistibly...

Games You are absolutely right. Mea culpa, mea culpa. I mistakenly began this in the wrong place (too many screens up checking my "six degrees" research), realized my mistake, tried to edit it (read "delete it") and then restart it in games and I got some sort of message that said I didn't...

Yet again another example of how everyone likes to push Kermit into arm-waving hysteria just so they can watch. *Sigh* The appeal of that never dims for me....

This is so eerie--I actually have a story (unposted) in which Piggy leaves the Muppet crew temporarily to go star in--what else--"Grease." Camilla the chicken is also in town, starring in "State Fair."

Oh what a tangled web we weave.... Last night when I was forcing my best friend to listen to a rehash of this topic--um, entertaining my best friend with witty banter about the Kermit and Piggy relationship, I used the phrase "wants to have a relationship" and she stopped me and said (she is...

Wow--it's been while since anyone called me a "saucy baguette." LOL! (Would my kids be mortified!) No--you didn't offend, and I didn't mean to sound like and armchair quarterback. I just, yuh know, care about these guys. I want them to do well--the muppets and the people who bring them to...

Y'all ever play "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"? It's where you link up famous people through other famous people by following their pairings in movies and television shows. I LOVE this game! Anybody want to dare me to hook up one of our classic muppets to anyone famous? Anyone want to try one...

You will notice that Miss Piggy is always angling for a relationship with Kermit, but not JUST a relationship with Kermit--a real live married-with-a-ring sort of relationship with him. Miss Piggy has respect for herself, and she doesn't want to just be a fling. If all she wanted was a...

The Muppets do great with the classics. I'd like to see them tackle Jane Austen (her stories, I mean, not her personally, but with the muppets you sometimes have to be specific....) Some of the lighter Dickens would work--I thought TMCC was one of the best. Also, a good ol' English mystery...

Unfortunately, hindsight often isn't--otherwise, people would learn from it. In my neck of the woods, we used to say that hindsight was the ability to look back and realized you've been, well, a horse's hind end. Too often, however, we can't look back and see that we've make a mistake, but...

I have to say that I wasn't very familiar with Beverly Sills until she guest starred on TMS, other that I knew who she was. Everyone knew--Except Fozzie. THis is the epsidoe where a cow is left in the parking lot, occupying almost everyone's attention, and finally, Kermit has to go out to the...
