Totally forgot about that guy and his episode. Pretty odd coincidence that all the episodes me, you, and OscarFan mentioned that could ruffle some feathers are from season 5.

Anyone want to place bets on which episode causes Twitter/social media uproar and gets pulled from Disney+? Since it'll be widely accessible for the first time in about 20 years, there's bound to be some sort of minor backlash. My guess is (if it happens) it'll be the Johnny Cash one since he...

This is amazing news. And yeah I'd prefer DVD releases of season 4 and 5 but that ship has sailed. I think just the fact that we're getting all five seasons on streaming is phenomenal. Though one thing I am bracing for is for newcomers to start watching season 1 and then quit because of how...

Personally, I'm a fan of Very Merry Muppet Christmas. It has its flaws but I like the Muppet Show-esque style and the abundance of characters that were shelved during the 90's era. Far from perfect, usually due to the tedious human characters, but I find it rather enjoyable.

Most people are discussing the alleged sexism that comes with this article but I found this part a lot more jarring "What quickly became apparent to those who worked with him was that Brian was not his legendary father — nor did he want to be. "He has hated puppeteers for his entire life," says...

Man, so many TMS guest stars have passed away in recent days. RIP to Helen and Mac. I mean it's understandable, the show came out 40+ years ago and people are going to age but it's still extremely sad to hear that a new one is gone.

Sadly, I have to agree. I haven't watched since the 3rd episode. I'll definitely check out 4-6 at some point but it's not really on the top of my to-do list. Compare that to the 2015 series where I would actively want to watch it the moment it was on.

I remember watching his videos a ton back in 2013 and 2014. I think he started reviewing the ABC muppet show episode-by-episode but then disappeared before he could finish.

Saying [insert year] is the worst ever after hearing some sad news is just a coping mechanism tbh. But I think 2020 is pretty unanimously an awful year for most. Though it's great if people are enjoying it on a personal level.

This really came out of nowhere. I can't believe he kept his cancer diagnosis hidden from the public and the media for as long as he did. The fact that he would film in-between surgery and chemotherapy shows just how committed he was to his career. RIP to an amazing actor.

I know Northern Calloway was dismissed from the show in 1989 but what I'm wondering is if skits featuring him were ever used as insert material after his departure. From what I can tell, it seems like the only time old clips of him have been shown are in specials like the Street we Live On and...

Northern's story is always a very depressing one, so sad he wasn't able to get the help he needed. He was easily my favorite human character. I'm glad he was able to be on the show for 2 decades at least.

So episode 1790 aired posthumously. I wonder if Will Lee's death had been publicized at that point since March 1983 was 4 months after he passed away. I was also not aware that the goodbye Mr. Hooper episode aired nearly a year after he passed.

Well Rowlf and Floyd are pretty much non-existent in this series and no one complains about their voices because they are close to the ones made by Henson and Nelson and because they barely ever get any screen-time to begin with. As far as Uncle Deadly goes, he was barely even a character from...

To be honest, Vogel's Kermit still doesn't really sit with me. There have been a few times (like his Sesame Street appearance) where I thought it worked but his vocal performance is very odd and inconsistent. I can understand why they decided to make Scooter the main character in this one and...

It was just fine, basically about as good as the last episode. The same problems I have had with the past two apply with this one in regards to the flimsy storyline. I imagine a plot where Statler and Waldorf are part of a test audience would have been hilarious in the 2015 ABC show but there's...

I was very critical of the pilot but this was actually a fairly solid episode. The skits this time around were all enjoyable with Muppet Labs and the Swedish Chef vs Danny Trejo ones being particularly entertaining. I'm also really liking the Beverly Turkey character and hope she appears in...

Wow, I haven't thought of Between the Lions in a long time. I remember my teacher in elementary school would actually play episodes in class for us. Really loved the characters and the dynamics between the lion family. Not to mention the infectious sketches peppered in-between in the vein of...

Howard the Pig has been a character since the late 90's, he appeared frequently in Muppets Tonight too.

Yeah, I gotta agree about The Muppet Show. Not to say that I don't enjoy the series but I could definitely have done with less musical numbers and more backstage sequences. And while I wouldn't say Muppets Tonight is a better show then TMS, I do feel it had a better plot-to-sketch ratio that...
