Wow...I don't want to complain that we have regular twice a month Muppety online shows, but From The Balcony couldnt be anymore tumbleweeds and crickets. Seriously.

Check out the first episodes when it was the main performers, and the show seems much much more subversive, edgy, and heavy on the 'did they just reference what think they referenced?' stuff.

The endless plethora of Sesame Street-ish anything muppets is lame(IMHO) What happened to Larry the Possum? Now that little dude rocks.

Couldn't agree more. It's such a shame as On the Balcony showed such a promissing start, what with the trial return of old favorites like Rowlf.

I miss the eventual return of classic characters in From The Balcony also.

i'm sorry but i've been trying to watch these and they are just really boring...the only thing I found funny in the past episodes was the old school fat muppet trying to eat the others...and how he acted was funny..like about the parking ticket..then he ate it...funny stuff

I am so upset that I cant see these anymore. I am getting a new computer next month. Hopefully I will get caught up.

The most recent "From the Balcony" was eXcellent, if you know what I mean.:smile:

The "X3" auditions were hilarious!! Those rejects might've looked useless for the movie, but they seem worthy enough to be in a "Marvelous Muppets" tale. Of course, there'd be no contest if the Defrostinator went up against Iceman.:wink:

And who would've thought Statler had the same powers as Cyclops! That old dude better make sure his optic beams are in check, or he'll have to wear sunglasses too.:sleep:


Really liked this one! Awesome!
