I finally saw them and it was kind of short for such a big event coverage. I mean not even an appearance of an USA Olympic Competitor was used for the moment. :frown:

And they kept calling them "The Muppets," even though I know that Sesame Street co-owns the Muppet name when it comes to the shows characters.

Still, it was kind of short for something I've been waiting for a while. :grouchy:

It was pretty enjoyable. Yes, it was short but what was funny was how they all reacted.

Elmo: "We came all this way for that??"

Then after that, you just hear them all shouting about how short their appearance was and they wanted more time. Obviously, they weren't too happy about it either. :stick_out_tongue:

I'm starting to find it chaotic when they bring on more than one character now. They're all fighting for something funny to say and they all drown each other out, though Elmo somehow manages to get the most to say...

Was it just me, or did anyone find it a bit funny that they were talking about Sportsmanship, when one of the episodes topics of this upcoming 43 season centers on being a good sport ? :stick_out_tongue:

I think I know why I didn't see it! Was it on between 9:00 and 10:00? Because my NBC affiliate doesn't air the 3rd hour!

Yes, that's called "plugging"

Yeah, it aired around 9:30-ish
