I just hope they make the vampires sparkly.

I can't wait
for the inevitable Linus-telling-the-Christmas-story parody scene.

I laughed most at the moment when they cut from Phil and Haley and Alex crying to Claire not crying.

Wasn't there a flashback in a previous episode to Phil showing Jay his beatboxing skills? Or something like that?

I had just been thinking, "Gee, it's nice to see Amy Acker on TV again not all scarred and bruised," and then she got shot. Go figure.

I realize
that this isn't the most commented-upon TV Club on this site, but I for one am glad to see these write-ups. I hope they continue for as long as the show does. And hopefully the show lasts a while.

I thought it was really interesting the way the Kristina and Camille stories played out. Normally a show expects us to side with the character at the center of a story, but in this case both of them were being the unreasonable one in their respective situations.

Thanks, Jorge! Most people don't recognize Digit from The Jim Henson Hour.

What's a CD?

The organ-playing schtick was the only thing I really liked about this one. I didn't laugh much at Punchy, and all the innuendo in Space Teens felt like too much of a good thing. Great to see Alan Thicke again, though!

So when is Sarah going to realize William Baldwin is a creep and obviously bad for her, and ditch him? Or is it going to be like on Gilmore Girls where Rory continued to date Logan for like two years even though he was a creep and obviously bad for her?

This balonely sandwich is keeping me company.

There's one episode where Waldorf remarks to Statler, "Do you ever notice the show has long stretches where nothing is happening on stage?"

The Cyborg/Albino Muppet was Digit. He's my avatar here. He hasn't been seen since The Jim Henson Hour was canceled, with the exception of a very brief vocal-only cameo in the video "Muppets Party Cruise" in 2004 or so. He was a pretty great character.

More like six feet undercover now?
Too bad. I wasn't madly in love with the show, but it's found its groove over the last few episodes. Also, I will miss seeing Gugu Mbatha-Raw on my television every week. Bye-bye, Gugu.

@Jean-Luc: The guy who plays Bobo has been playing Rowlf for the past ten years or so. You can hear him in the "Skateboarding Dog" videos on the Muppets' YouTube Channel.

Also, in reality frogs and pigs and bears can't talk.

I bet the 6-year-old and the 3-year-old have no idea who the guest stars are. Then again, that was probably true during the show's original run as well… Not many Rudolph Nureyev fans in the preschool demographic.

phodreaw: Actually, the mad bomber was Sandra Bullock. She wanted to make sure the show got really good ratings so the Muppets would like her and invite her back.

Carrot Top
I listened to the entire Carrot Top commentary for The Rules of Attraction, and I have to say, I found it pretty fascinating. I think you have to view it as a weird experimental performance art thing, rather than an unfunny comedian failing to say anything insightful about a movie he's never seen thing.
