Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Can't watch Big Bird. Will cry.
Yeah, same here.
My favorite Muppet show sketch is probably Alice Cooper trying to convince Gonzo to sell his soul for fame and fortune. Or the sketch where Vincent Price and Kermit are talking, and Kermit develops fangs.
My favorite non-guest-star sketch that wasn't a recurring bit (like the Swedish Chef or Animal Hospital--"The continuing stoooory of a quack who has gone to the dogs") was the Muppetphones, with the guy who would line up these fluffball Muppets in a row by the tone of their "OW!" after he bonked them on the head with a hammer. They then sang/"ow"ed/played "Lady of Spain."
Very funny, and something I doubt would ever appear on children's TV today.
There was a sketch with Kermit reporting from another planet about a mating ritual that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, man, now I'm watching the tribute at the funeral of all the performers singing his favorite songs, and the guy who's Gonzo is singing the song from the Muppet Movie from when they're out in the desert. Awww.
Dana, if you are the easily made sniffly sort, don't watch to the end of part 2.

I LOVE that one.
I love the Pigs in Space where they reach the end of the Universe.
Uh-oh. But I can't stop now!
Get kleenex. LOTS AND LOTS.
