What did Waldorf and Statler do in Oz?

[BEAR]

In the original book the kalidahs were viscious creatures that we're chasing them over the bridge. The joke was that statler and waldorf would tear you apart with their insults instead of their claws.

Hmm I didn't realize that. What a clever idea. I think that many of the bits and parallels were so clever. Such as the Statler/Waldorf thing, Fozzie as the Lion having stage fright, Rats as munchkins, Gonzo's robot thing.

Plead for a new gag writer.

Oy, that certainly smarts. **winces**

The only complaint I have right now is the lack of depth in Kermit's character. I wanted more from him. He just surfaced for me.

I've got to agree with you, Bryan. All the parallels drawn from the book made this film (IMHO) better than the MGM version. I suppose Sam having his biggest role in ten years helped too, though...
