I don't think these reviews are awful as maybe the reviewer is holding late Seinfeld to too high a standard. The last two seasons of the show are fundamentally different from the first season in terms of the lighter style of comedy used. I think trying to look for tight plotlines and structure in late Seinfeld is a…

How could any episode with Jack Klompus get less than a stellar score?

I think it could work if it was put on cable, where they could pick guest stars who would work better with the Muppets and their style of entertainment (musicians, broadway people, fun comedic actors/actresses), as opposed to whoever's the hot "celebrity" even if they wouldn't work too well. If they gave the writing…

Sweetums steals the Sandy Duncan episode. He's really one of Richard Hunt's best characters in my opinion.

Am I the only person who thinks this actually could be good? McCartney's solo stuff has been inconsistent over the past decade, but Chaos & Creation and Memory Almost Full both had some really good moments. I don't think this is just going to be Rod Stewart-style cashgrab, because Rod obviously hasn't given a shit…

I can't imagine what the crowd would do if they busted that suite out at a concert. That's how you find out who the dedicated fans are, the ones who'd sit through that plus the ten-minute encore of "A Day In The Life of A Tree".

Can't wait for when they play "Carl and the Passions" and "Holland" in their entirity!

More lifelike than Rick Santorum!

Amen. It's good to see those that realize the Muppets are not just children's entertainment, and as an unabashed nerd when it comes to this kind of stuff, it's good to find some people who appreciate it as well. Long live the muppets! (PS You guys should review Fraggle Rock after this.)

I personally found the Peter Ustinov episode a bit lacking, but then they toss down the trump card of "It's Not Easy Bein' Green" and all is forgotten.

Thanks for the link. I liked the story of how there was some rogue woman at the BBC switching out tapes of shows about trains for things she thought were worth saving. A true cultural warrior.

I didn't realize that the BBC didn't participate in syndication as much as American stations. Guess they didn't really anticipate the staying power of this show.

Why did networks wipe over tapes in the 1960s/1970s? Reruns and syndication was prevalent (I think), but was it just a matter of being cheap and not wanting to purchase new tape? There's a lot of TV out there missing because of this (I think a couple of the early Super Bowls are gone).

There's a Bloom Country christmas special? Wow.

"New York Tendaberry" is amazing. She would still be a deserving candidate for the hall of fame even if the only thing she ever released was "Time and Love".

Could you imagine being the muppeteer at that moment? You're thinking "holy  crap this guy is out of his mind. I hope I don't have to do any more scenes with him." I guess leaving the Carol Burnett show wasn't the star-making turn Mr. Korman hoped for.

"Halfway Down The Stairs" typifies insecurity better than almost any song I've ever heard.

That's what's incredible about the episode (aside from how cute all the Fraggles look in winter gear). It basically says that it's not faith that's important about the holidays, but the act of going through all the ceremonies and rituals with your friends and family, even if you don't believe in them. Basically…

Along these lines, the Fraggle Rock holiday episode ("The Bells Of Fraggle Rock") is really good, and a lot more complicated then you'd expect for a children's holiday thing. Gobo basically has a crisis of faith. Poor thing.

You really must want me to blow off my evening meeting.
