Fozzie: Hey, why don't you join us?
Gonzo: Where are you going?
Fozzie: We're following our dream!
Gonzo: Really? I have a dream, too!
Fozzie: Oh?
Gonzo: But you'll think it's stupid.
Fozzie: No we won't. Tell us, tell us!
Gonzo: Well, I want to go to Bombay, India and become a movie star!
Fozzie: You don't go to Bombay to…

"I don't know how to thank you guys."
"I don't know why to thank you guys."

I know how you felt. When they finally got to "The Rainbow Connection" in The Muppets, a tear came to my eye. Put all the new songs to shame.

I agree completely, and the most astonishing thing to me is what holds up as good as anything are the songs, which, for the most part, are not jokey in the way you would expect. In fact, "The Rainbow Connection" and "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" are positively meditative.

Good grief, it's a running gag.

I think it's because he found Hare Krishna. (What a quintessentially 70's joke; that's right folks, The Muppet Movie was released in 1979. Damn I'm old.)

Sadly, that seems to be the case. I give them credit for keeping all the episodes pretty much intact (I think there were a few songs edited out of season one), but clearances are costly and sometimes just a bitch to get the permission for even if you do have the cash. Also not only did season 3 not sell so well, we…

I sure hope The Office thing is merely a jumping off point or else it'll get really tired fast.

Don't feel bad. It's like Mac and Cheese; comedy comfort food. My favorite use of this trope was from 30 Rock. I can't find the clip (which would be way funnier) but it went like this:

Yeah, the fact that Lindsay had the wing sauce on her face practically the whole episode was so hysterical to me.

Look at the kat, he's so kool. (And he is, he has a trumpet and is wearing sunglasses! Super kool!)

"Well, so far it's a sweet ass gig. I walk around mackin' on hos all day, nobody in the food court buses their trays so I eat like a king, and if I don't want to chase a shoplifter I don't, I go smoke a bowl out on the delivery bay and wait for 'em to bail with the merch. Plus I get to work for my best friend Eric…

As obviously telegraphed as this bit was:

Look at that cat, he's so cool.

"You've never watched a sport in your life,"
"…apparently on Sundays they have these sports bars full of horny macho dum dums whose girlfriends are all at home. Plus wings!"
"You do love wings."

I read it that way as well. Edgar is nothing if not sincere, and his, "I don't understand" was said out of genuine curiosity (and/or naivete) and didn't come across as insulting. I know in general it's a hacky kind of line, but Desmond made it work. (I also liked his obliviousness at being casually asked to be…

I'd rather watch a full hour of Gary Sinese's band.

He's not going to transcend anything.These late night talk shows pretty much only exist to service celebrities promoting stuff. I'm sure Colbert will do fine with his show, be I think he's settling here. He is so much more talented than all the other talk show hosts I just wish he was doing something else.

No, I'm tall! I'm tall!

I'd love to make up a schedule myself, but most of my sex is tentative. Very tentative. (It's also takes place at a time that is not 100% specified.)
