Bigger and better things to come

I thought the Muppets would pop out of the closet and surprise the kids. But I enjoyed the snippets of the Muppets at work.

I look at these appearances on someone else's show as a bonus for us Muppet fans- just icing on the cake. The characters' schtick is not going to be as edgy or surprising as it would be in a movie. They usually play it pretty safe (Miss Piggy flirts with the host, Kermit talks about his days in the swamp), but it's still good to see old friends. And it keeps the Muppeteers working! The place to really judge the direction of the Disneyized Muppets will be in Muppets Wizard of Oz, when they're doing their OWN thing.

Or are they? Will Oz be an hourlong commercial for Ashanti??? We shall see...

To do the amount of work they did on that show in a week and have clowns & Muppets hanging around had to be pretty wild to say the least.

:smile: I really enjoyed the appearance. :smile:
