Why didn't I know about this before?!
I have so many opinions to express
Because I was born in the late 90s I had no idea of who any of the Muppets Tonight characters were. I obviously saw Pepe, Johnny, Sal, Phil Van Nuter, and Clifford in Muppets From Space but I didn't understand why the **** they were there and characters like Rowlf and Scooter were shoved aside.
Actually for the longest time my only knowledge of Muppets Tonight was the sticker on the front of the packaging with the palisade figures.
When I was around 7 I'd rant to my family and friends about how Disney didn't care about The Muppets...(which honestly I don't think they really do).
Now that I'm older I feel really dumb for getting all exited for things like Muppets Wizard of Oz and Letters to Santa
Even though I don't really like Dark Crystal or Labryth that much I'd always bring them up when a kid would make fun of me for liking the Muppets and saying they were to kiddy or whatnot. I'd be like "yea we'll guess what, this thing is a technicality a Muppet!" Then I'd show them those devil creatures from Storyteller.
I hide my "obsession" from most people, you have to be a fan as well or pretty close to me to know about it
