I love how the band is almost becoming more popular than the Muppets themselves.

I know he is like 90 years old but Tony Bennett sucked... Piggy did very well though.

Loved it! Among the best parade openings ever! Maybe my favorite! The Electric Mayhem's rendition of "Twist and Shout" made me want to get and and dance! I liked how they revamped "Hey, A Movie!" to fit the parade.

The opening was wonderful. The bit later on with Piggy and Tony Bennett was pretty good too.

That was definitely a fun opening, with a lot of different characters getting screen time. The Electric Mayhem were great with their cover of "Twist and Shout", too. Really could have done better with the sound mix during Piggy and Tony Bennett's performance, though; very unprofessional and inexcusable for a large network such as NBC.

I'm so glad Rowlf the Dog is included. He's so cute and cuddly. Sigh. I hope my cute and cuddly habit doesn't bother you all.

I am a little curious what is going on with Steve's availability, since he didn't seem to have any character-voicing presence in the parade or the promotional material (it wouldn't have been too hard to have someone else do Beaker and Waldorf). Anyway, I was expecting a short opening number, but got a performance by the Electric Mayhem and closing with Miss Piggy. Great to see some Muppet action in the parade again! I also thought I read somewhere that the Kermit balloon would be back, which it wasn't...
