I watched "Sex and Violence" last night for the first time and I didn't like it very much at all. It actually bored me for the most part. Not funny and very slow. I am so glad that they didn't stick with that format for the actual Muppet Show. Statler and Waldorf work better in the balcony heckling and being feisty old men, not dull geriatrics in an empty retirement home. To me, they keep they usually keep the show running with their jokes in between acts.
It was still interesting to see how different they were when the show was first developing. Floyds eyes with the spirals and Bert's cameo in the dancing segment was fun to see, but that was it. That Yellow guy who was the host had no personality. Kermit was meant to host that show.

"Sex and Violence"... :boo:
That ''Yellow guy'' Is Nigel!!! he's a conductor in the regular muppet show(in the orchestra pit you can see him).
