Also on American Idol (before "Big Bird's Long-lost Cousin"), there was a short clip of a contestant doing a Kermit impression. It was very brief, though, so I don't remember what he sang.

Last night on WWE Smackdown, King Booker was reviewing Kane's movie "See No Evil", making fun of it, saying he's been more scared watching the Muppets.

They just did something on Family Guy about having "raw sounding Muppets" "That's like my specialty and junk" "Yay"

I actually posted a comment on that one. I won't repeat what I said here, but if anyone wants to take a look it's at the general animation forum.

Tonight I watched 'Hot Fuzz' at the cinema, it's a new British film from the makers of 'Shaun of the Dead'.
There was a funny Muppets reference;

"I always wanted to be a police officer... except in 1978 when I wanted to be kermit the frog"

the character then goes on to elaborate on being a cop, and his friend eventually says

"shame... you would have made a good muppet"!

Did anyone else catch the "Family Guy" episode with Peter and the cop character discovering seven, ahem, bad girls in Quagmire's house? The cop mentions how many there are, then a voice-over chorus of kids sings 1-7 as numbers appear near the girls. Not quite a Muppet reference, but it is a classic Sesame Street one... :smile:
