In tonight's episode of Fresh Off the Boat, the B-plot had Louis get some newly-bleached teeth that became blindingly white. The grandmother called Louis (the father) "your favorite Muppet, Dr. Teeth" when presenting him to the kids. :big_grin:

On Family Guy, Meg became a foot fetish model and was upstairs stomping. Lois asked something along the lines of "What is that racket, Peter?" Meg came downstairs wearing huge shoes and Peter said "I thought it was Junior Gorg from Fraggle Rock,".

Three more of my favorites from Family Guy:
-Carl asked a guy at the dinner table "Have you ever seen Jim Henson's Labyrinth?"
-Peter bought Chris a shirt of Kermit dressed like a gangster.
-Stewie echoes "PIGS IN SPACE!" in his head.

Not so much a reference as the fact that :mad: just appeared on the Tony Bennett 90th Birthday Tribute special busting Regis Philbin and Don Rickles as cheap imitations of :boo: and :sleep:. She even told Don she didn't find him to be her type ever since she "stopped dating guys who look like frogs".

So yeah, year-old reference to that big brake-up for last year's The Muppets 2015 series.
Guess :rolleyes: "Because... Love" campaign flopped in Thailand giving us some closure for that final episode. *Shrugs.

And hey! Where's the real Muppet devotee of Tony Bennett? The guy what owns the exclusive record of Sergeant Tony's Lonely Hearts Club Band, that came out before those other guys... :skeptical:

I cannot believe how ungrateful Tony is! He would've never made it to his 90th birthday if Miss Piggy hadn't saved his life last month on the Thanksgiving float, but does Miss Piggy get a thank you? No! :mad:

Man, it would've been so awesome if he had been there.

The Johnny Fiama puppet is apparently "toast," so no chance of him appearing in any form any time soon.

Johnny and Sal were such a great duo, shame they didn't get much fame and weren't used outside of MT and small scenes in MFS, VMX, and MWoOZ.
