I finally got to see it. At home I'm on dialup--yeah, I'm one of the three people in the continental US who doesn't have high-speed internet--so I got in to work a little early.
My opinion: WIN! It's got just about everything I love the Muppets for. And being a low-level foodie myself, I plan to try soime of the recipes.
Of course I have nitpicks, because nitpicking is what I do best. Angelo is OK, but he still looks like a whatnot to me. Maybe he'll grow on me. And this is the first time I've seen the new Gonzo puppet in motion in high resolution and... erk. I'd gladly trade his new eye trick for his old face shape and eyes that are a tad less crossed. Sometimes I get the feeling he's staring at his nose and wondering what the heck happened.
In conclusion, this show makes me stupidly happy. It's Muppetty goodness, and seeing Gonzo always makes me grin. I'll be recommending it to my friends and showing it to my niece and nephew, who I'm certain will go nuts over the confetti gag and pie contest.
I wish to heck I could save these clips. I know how to pull YouTube videos out of my cache and convert them to MPGs for offline viewing, but these things don't show up in my cache at all. Poo.
