Yep, you're right. And, on second thought, it makes a hell of a lot more sense for that Sheen to be playing opposite Lizzy Caplan. But don't you guys kinda wish President Bartlet was due to conduct academic surveys into human sexuality on Showtime? (No, don't wish that at all.)

In re: DeVille, it is done. Long live the riff from "Talk Dirty To Me."

Shh! You guys are going to give away my plan for the Mummenschanz episode!

Has anyone out there seen the uncut version, which according to Muppet Wiki ends with Kermit (in front of the CBS eye) asking "What the hell was that about?"

To answer a question that was asked nearly a week ago: I'm going to take a couple of weeks off between season one and season two, which puts the start of season-two reviews on Feb. 28. I'll do those through mid-May, at which point The Muppet Show will take the summer off in favor of another classic show to be named…

All I want for Christmas is a Space Ghost Coast To Coast-style rig that will lower Todd's computerized head from the ceiling.

NORM!

Hate to bust the conspiracy bubble, but I could never put together an explanation of Occupy Wall Street as insightful or well-written as Cookie_Monster did.

What do you mean? His pants are totally gone with the end of the song. (Thanks for catching the typo—it's fixed now.)

It's two days before Thanksgiving, Myles—the students will hardly notice that you're there, let alone that you're all weepy-eyed from watching Big Bird sing "It's Not Easy Bein' Green."

Prior to this viewing, I'd never watched "Elusive Butterfly" without the aid of fast forward—so I'm inclined to agree.

Yeah, I've been a bit unfair to him in these reviews. The dude has a fascinating resume—one which I hope to delve into more deeply in the coming weeks.

The Jim Henson Legacy's touring screening series "Muppets, Music, And Magic" has a great program that's nothing but commercials, industrial films, and some experimental work from pre-Sesame Street Henson. I can't recommend it highly enough. When the series came to Austin last March, it featured this pitch reel for…

I love the La Choy Dragon and his clumsily destructive ways. Have you watched this "presentation" film Muppets Inc. put together for the La Choy folks?

And that's exactly why I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Marvin Suggs and The Newsman—the latter of whom makes his first appearance next week.

Totally spaced on Childrens Hospital—I'm woefully behind on Adult Swim shows from the last few years.
