I still can't believe Mildred wasn't in the new Muppet movie. If Uncle Deadly could make a comeback, why not Mildred?

Those were the pre-GameFAQs days. My brother and I pooled our hard-earned allowance to buy a Kyrandia strategy guide just so we could get past one particularly difficult puzzle that had stumped us for weeks.
Those were fun. The premise of the third one was a clever twist… playing as the bad guy from the other two games
I always thought the Screaming Thing from a later Muppet Show episode looked like he was related to the Fraggles too:

It seems like an odd choice to do a story about the theme song being uncool in the first season… When they shot the episode, none of the episodes had aired yet so no one in the audience had ever heard the theme song. But it works.
There's no reason Floyd wasn't a major presence on Muppets Tonight. I wonder if the writers just weren't sure what to do with him… The one time he's seen prominently, he's playing the violin for Garth Brooks singing "If I Were a Rich Man," and he doesn't even have any lines!
I would describe The Muppets on Puppets as "soothing." Sure, it's entertaining and educational, but there's something very relaxing about hearing Jim Henson teach me about puppets while pleasant music plays in the background.
They'd have to give him a tail.
Higgy wiggy!
Phyllis Diller is the stand-up comic guest star who works with Fozzie to improve his act on the Talk Spot set, right? That's another notable moment in Fozzie's evolution, I think… The jokes he comes up with aren't funny, but he's not just a hack comic… He's endearing in his attempts to make himself funny. "My…
Yes, but where can I get a subscription to The Wampire Veekly?
I watched this episode with a roomful of people recently, and the Jack Parnell punchline felt pretty anticlimactic because most people have no idea who he was.
Vincent Price singing "You've Got a Friend" is one of the best guest star musical performances ever on the show, and I'm not even being sarcastic.
Aww, the poor houses on the right. They might have been hilarious hit characters if they were ever given the chance to shine.
The Dick Tracy Show cartoon was ridiculous. Dick Tracy never actually did anything; he would just assign the case of the week to one of his wacky pals, who included an over-the-top Japanese caricature named Joe Jitsu and an over-the-top Mexican caricature named Go-go Gomez.
Why is the puppetry always so bad on these puppet shows? There must be talented Christian puppeteers out there somewhere.
She's also wanted in the state of New York for breaking a juicer and stealing $2.30 for a light-up sweatshirt.
What was the dinner Max made for Kristina? It looked kinda like a big bowl of shredded carrots.
I thought they were going to arrive at Zeek's mother's house, only to find that she had died. I'm glad they didn't go that route.
