YYAAAAAYYYYYY!! EPISODE TWO!!

DOUBLE-YYYAAAYYYYYYYY!! ROWLF THE DOG!!!

This is great! Now that Jerry's retired from The Muppets, they need to rush his replacements and NOW we can get a great Muppet movie with everyone back in the saddle...or Studebaker as the case may be...

It's great to see the Muppets in use so much and Bill's Rowlf is really good and can only get better, seriously; that was the best bit of the whole episode, I hope we see more and more of him.

The downer? Not very funny, actually; not at all funny, some of the jokes didn't even make any sense either; "Once you go orange you never go back"? Huh?

So all in all, good performances but the writing needs some improvement.

Wow, this is the first time Rowlf had a speaking part since...well, since Jim's death. That's Bill Barretta? He does a good job. Steve Whitemire's version of Statler sounds just like Richard's version...however, I think he and Dave need a little work on their laughs. Also, I'm starting to think those too are starting to get a little less irriatiable. But still, this From the Balcony is hilarious! Keep up the great work!

Oompa Loompa's are orange. And there's a similar saying, also having to do with the colour of someone's skin, if you switch out the word orange. I'll leave you to it, I don't want to type it out in full in case it would offend someone, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Quite a racy thing for them to say, really, if you understood it.

It is so terrific to see Rowlf back in action! I hope he shows up in future episodes, perhaps he could be their permanent "On the Set" guy. It would be a great chance for Bill to perfect Rowlf so he could have an actual role (besides cameo) in a future movie.

 

[Beauregard]

Yes, I agree that it is Great! And somewhat funy. But Waldorf still need a little (lot) of work on his voice which is suspiciously Gonzo...but it was Great to see Rowlf! Even if he voice was a tad...gees, am I picky or what???
