  3. I still think You and I and George is Rowlf's funniest bit.

    "In it's only recording, You and I and George sold only two copies. I bought one and George bought one. Where were you?"

  5. This song is stuck in my head. Funny how some things pop back into your brain after years and years of not thinking about it.

    But this is still one of my favorite segments from the original Muppet Show, Scooter singing "Six-String Orchestra"

  7. I’d been wondering for years which neighborhood bird sings the opening bar of #themuppetshow theme song. Finally have the answer: the grey butcherbird

    Today I learned Rowlf the Dog is older than I am. He was one of Jim Henson’s early Muppet creations after Kermit the Frog.

    Since I never saw Rowlf on Sesame Street, I assumed he was created as part of The Muppet Show in the 1970s. Turns out he first appeared as a spokesman for Purina Dog Chow in 1962 and was later a regular and popular character on The Jimmy Dean Show. He was the first Muppet to appear regularly on TV.

    Y'know, I left two answers for people who saw it but didn't like it

    0% of people took either of those options

    that's a pretty good reception right there

  13. The new muppet show is so good! Honestly I would love to see more of this show!

    Especially if it were something like SNL of a weekly show or 24 episodes. Please don’t make it a short number.

  15. It's real! It's happening!
    It's even available in Japan (and it even has the French track - it was my favorite show as a kid, and I admit, I kinda want to watch it in French... yeah, nostalgia, I know)

  17. Anyway, time to make dinner. I enjoyed it. If they can keep up this quality level, I'd definitely enjoy more. I worry about that.

    But since nobody's really tied to a weekly schedule anymore, why not... I dunno... why not one a month? That'd give them a lot of time to get each one right, and give some nice gaps between so it doesn't wear out its welcome. That was part of what made Columbo work so well - it wasn't weekly, it was a new episode every three weeks or so.

    A new Muppet Show, once a month. Dumb gimmick, or good idea?

    Honestly don't know. So let's have a poll. What do you think?

  19. So we did see the new Muppet Show one-off and believe me that this is neither light nor back-handed praise when I say:

    Yep, that sure was The Muppet Show.

    Actually pulled it off. That was a Muppet Show. Dang.

    The best segment was the new episode of Muppet Labs. It's not Muppets if it's not a little fucked up and that was exactly the right amount of fucked up. If this is the Muppet Show they're gonna put out, I hope they put out more.

  20. I recommended #TheMuppetShow special to my 9yo, who said, 'Isn't it for 5 year olds?' and then 'Isn't there a pig in it?'
    Me: Miss Piggy isn't just a pig, she's a STAR!'

  21. I loved and grew up watching reruns of and thoroughly enjoyed the pilot special that's just come out on but if it gets picked up for more I hope they have some ideas to keep it interesting.

    This special leaned very much on the old formula, which unless the guests are amazing might not interest a modern audience.

  22. Okay, #TheMuppetShow was good. Worked as a pilot but I’d want no more than 6 episodes.

  23. Enjoyed the new episode of #TheMuppetShow. I hope they’ll be more. 😃👍
