Last night on Two Broke Girls, the power went out in the diner and Han comes out wearing a head lamp. Max then reacts by saying "You look like one of the Doozers from Fraggle Rock." Say what you will about that show, but they contributed to the ever elusive Fraggle Rock reference.

Last night's premiere episode of The $100,000 Pyramid hosted by Michael Strahan had one of the contestants describe Muppets. Kermit was the first clue given, which was correctly guessed.

I was watching The Cleveland Show this morning and Cleveland said,
"Nobody remembers Oscar the Grouch, they remember his puppeteer Caroll Spinney,"
That made me laugh SO hard,

Whose Line Is It Anyway. There were multiple references in the American version to both The Muppets and Sesame Street. Some references in the British version as well. There are even still some references on the current revival of Whose Line today.

Today's episode of Millionaire had a Sesame Street-related question about what the name of Sonia Manzano's character was, with the answers being "Maria", "Susan", "Linda", and "Gina". Thankfully, the contestant got it right despite knowing very little about the show, earning him $5,000.

On the Family Guy season premiere, it showed a cutaway of Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Scooter. Piggy said that she had a frog in her throat and Kermit poked her in the ribs replying,
"Have you been drinking too much?" or something like that, I'll admit it's not the best Muppet parody on Family Guy, but hey, at least it's something!
