My thoughts:

1. Hey Sweetums, you'd better see a doctor about that cold before you cause another accident backstage--do you really have a cold or just allergies?
2. I think the FDA should outright ban Piggy Water. 30 grams of fat for water? Ridiculous!
3. Don't worry, Animal. So it was a draw. So was your competition with Harry Belafonte 37 years ago!

Also...this is one of the few times we see Gonzo and Bunsen interact (probably because they share the same performer--same goes for Scooter and Janice).

I think jokes about Scooter being a mamma's boy is really getting old. It was funny the first few times, but now that's ALL they make fun about. They're making Scooter seem really pathetic.

But I really loved this episode lol. Piggy Water was a great running gag.

Well, just direct your pitchforks and torches at Jamie, or whoever Phil suggests should take his place as new Muppet-icon creator. Once we get our Uncle D smilie, then we can crow about how it's alive, it's alive!

I hope the Muppet folk are sitting back with their feet up, a beverage of their choice in their hand, they made an excellent episode. The more you know of Kermit's and Gonzo's shared history the more enjoyment the episode presents.

A few random thoughts.

I would not be opposed to an entire scene improvised by Bill and Steve as Pepe and Rizzo.

Janice is a little more dippy on the hippy-dippy scale, but I think she is wonderful.

Sam is all American and all product placement brought to you by Piggy Water. Loved it. Although I would not want to have him as my baby sitter.

A line I loved - Zoot: Is that the real moon? Or a department store one?

A line I hope to use in life: Give me some of that Muppet money.

I am really glad that Gonzo's big stunt was not seen by millions, but by his friend Kermit. I think Gonzo would like that too.

If I had any real skills at anything I would gladly volunteer to that job! Sadly the only things I'm good at are sniffing out spammers and tapdanceing across the country.......
