What I found most interesting about this special was not only the fact of how heavily the Muppets were featured (around 6-8 minutes total). But it was the fact that the show began and ended with Gilda's Muppet Show clips. Of all the highlights in her career, that's how they started and ended the program.

The show opened with Gilda testing Muppet Labs' glue and a good Kermit interview. And then ended with her singing "Tap Your Troubles Away" as the positive and uplifting ending to the special. Lots of TMS clips were in between with good dialogue with Kermit. It was really nice to see Scooter's full opening on ABC too. The new interview dialogue with Steve Martin, Barbara Walters (and many others) interspersed along with Kermit's interview is a compliment to the company that Kermit would have so much airtime alongside such well-known celebrities.
