Looks like a great song! And now we know why we have the 80s robot (well, sort of, anyway).

Sounds like a good clip. I wonder if the whole song was screened, or just part of it. It'd be interesting to know if that sequence includes Uncle Deadley or any obscure characters.

I think I read a previous article that '80s Robot was Kermit's driver. It's interesting that the robot apparently is not a creation of Bunsen and Beaker (or maybe he was invented by them as a gift for Kermit, or they built '80s robot/robots and Kermit purchased one). Still, it's interesting that Kermit keeps getting help from robots who don't seem to be invented by Bunsen, like Digit and '80s Robot (I know, we don't know yet).

It has a definite "Saying Goodbye" vibe to it. November can't get here soon enough!

Wanted to go too. Didn't think it would be enough to warrant the 170 mile trip. Sounds like it would of though?

Sounds like it hits just the right notes... heart, comedy, self-reference. Yep, that's the successful Muppet formula at work!
