    Okay folks...We've had wonderful conversations about Muppets Most Wanted's content, promotion, box-office take and the future of the characters, but I thought it might be worth setting up a separate thread to talk about our experiences in actually going to see the movie. Some of you have...

    Fraggle foolishness on ABC's "The Goldbergs"

    When a Muppet says...

    Okay, friends, try this one on for size.

    Kermit vs. Newt Gingrich (1996 parody T-shirt)

    With all the hubbub over Fox News vs. The Muppets ("don't forget to mention the evil oil baron!" - Fozzie) I found myself flashing back to an official Muppet Parodies T-shirt (purchased in 1996) that featured a surprisingly political punchline - one that still rings true today! The front...
