I love how they were worked into A Muppet Family Christmas. Gerry Parkes is the man.

Ah, so you were behind that awesome article. I once got genuinely mad at my wife because I showed her and a friend the Hooper scene while we were watching Jersey Shore or something, and neither of them were moved by it. Given the scenario we were in, I can't say I blamed them, but that scene always makes me cry,

Couldn't be more satisfied with this comments section.

For some reason, Digit always reminded me of when we see what Judge Doom REALLY looks like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

That's a good point—him being too young to thoroughly articulate why he loves rap so much. There's still an insincere vibe about the whole thing to me though, and I don't think that's what the creators are going for. I wonder if there's a happy medium to be reached in the directing or acting. Anyway, once again, good

Maybe the scrawls are leftover from the '90s?

Sorry, I was going off the memoir and Huang's actual age. In real life, he was 13 in 1995, but I just re-watched the intro of the pilot on ABC, and he introduces himself as 11 in the opening voiceover. The voiceovers on the screeners we get tend to change, so he may have been 13 in the original one I heard (the

And I thought I was the only one…
