TV Alert: Muppets at Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade

[AndyWan Kenobi]

I missed it live, and my Tivo didn't get my request to record it in time because it seems my home network was offline. Boo!

But . . . looks like it's available online right here:

If the link doesn't work, just go to abc.com and do a search for disney parade. They're streaming the whole thing!

I watched the whole thing and only saw an outtake during the credits with Gonzo.

Was he cut from some regions' broadcasts or was he cut entirely? I skipped through the streaming version and couldn't find him either.

Anyone have the clip he appeared in?

(The parade is also available on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/disney-parks-christmas-day-parade)

I didn't see Gonzo either, but I did see a two or three minute blackout screen during the streaming broadcast. I assume that's where he was. What gives? Was there some kind of licensing issue with music or something like that?

yea i wanted to see him

Gonzo was on a commefial break introduction I think... much like the Kermit appearances

Thanks for posting the link! I was heading over the river and through the woods when it aired, so it was nice to be able to watch later. I think any major, star-studded event is much improved if Statler and Waldorf are hanging out in a balcony making fun of it. It's a shame they cut out Gonzo, though. Poor hose nose gets no respect.

Actually, Gonzo was not cut out.

He appeared. Some of you just missed him.

Anyway, I liked their appearances in this year's parade, especially Statler & Waldorf heckling the proceedings from atop the Emporium on Main Street. They should do that every year.

He appeared, but was that appearance included in the online recording? I watched the whole thing, I think, and didn't see him except the outtake bit at the end. If it's there, I need to go back and watch!

I agree. Statler and Waldorf should heckle pretty much everything. I still have hope that they'll be at the Oscars, in their own little balcony. ;-) Not a lot of hope, mind you.

There is a scene release of the Canadian broadcast. He's not in that either.

I wonder why Gonzo's stunt scene isn't included online? Wild. It's not a really long scene, but it's awesome! Dialogue between him and (the beautiful) Maria Munos (sp?), then Kermit commenting on seeing Gonzo's stunt in the background. A really cute and Classic Muppets-type skit, I loved it more than any other Muppet bit from the entire parade.

Maybe KermiClown will have it available soon?
