That’s mostly right; I don’t think Fred and Barney were portrayed as “really old.” That was an interesting period where they had a few specials in a row that had continuity and showed Pebbles and Bam-Bam getting married, giving birth, then that Christmas special where Fred and Wilma take in a caveless ruffian. And…

Not really a whole lot to go off of, but visually it looks pretty nice.

The Muppets did a Lipton commercial (the one where the meme comes from) that was essentially promoting Muppets Most Wanted that aired during the 2014 Oscars. But I guess it was more of a Lipton ad than a movie promotion (which was only mentioned at the very end), so I guess there’s loopholes or things have changed…

The Steve Martin film surprised me. I was expecting some slapsticky farce, Cheaper By the Dozen 2-type thing and it was a fairly grounded/personal film (except maybe that one scene where he tries to get a letter from the future in-laws house, and everything Martin Short is). The sequel was a lot more the kind of thing…

I think there was some Doctor Strange score in the last scene in the cabin.

Well they haven’t let anyone use Dorothy’s ruby slippers or Fred Roger’s sweater either.

re: the first point - wasn’t the shield going straight into the Cap exhibit, not a new Captain America?

What are you talking about? P&R didn’t get good until after season 2, and B99 still is good.

Yeah, but that’s because they were traditionally two 11-minute episodes strung into one “half-hour.”

I mean, the spring-summer were down for productions, but haven’t a lot of things started up again since the fall? It doesn’t quite feel like news that shows/movies have managed to get back in production again.

See that and the other episodes trying to be topical (like that “Earth certificate” one, sheesh) didn’t work as well for me.

Do you know how many episodes of Billy on the Street that could’ve given us instead? Like, 10,000+

The title sounds like one of those fake Simpsons shows, such as

I have a like-dislike thing with Wonder Showzen. I think since I like Sesame Street so much, I can digest the randomness of the show a little more than normal. There are definitely some funny bits, but any time it veers into “hey, let’s just annoy the viewer for our own laughs, not theirs” it becomes just that. Like…

I appreciate the “Great News” shout-out. It was pretty much “grocery store brand 30 Rock,” but that still made it very funny.

Hey, if they made a movie where aging Fred Astaire can land young Audrey Hepburn...

I don’t have Disney+,  so I haven’t seen the show, but I hear it’s actually better than expected?

Yes, that’s the one (she also wrote the music for it).

It’s a TV series, not a film.

Well, Sara Baraellis has been a pretty famous singer-songwriter for nearly two decades.
