Well, Zardoz is a masterpiece. So I don’t know what you mean by “regrets”.

I believe it’s in a similar situation as The Muppet Show, except - instead of music - the problem is the legal rights to all the film footage they used.

The joke is watching human beings portray grim-dark version of characters from the most wholesome Muppet property. All of those things you listed (excluding The Dark Crystal*) were just generic Muppets. This is portraying real characters from Sesame Street. Also, it’s probably not coincidental that this aired the week…

Yeah, but only because he said, “I want to look exactly like Frank Sinatra;” After Mia handed the check over to the plastic surgeon.

He has - in no way, shape, or form - “remain[ed] quiet about the Frank Sinatra stuff”, him and Mia are the ones who push the “Sinatra stuff”.

He had plastic surgery in his teens and wears blue contact lenses to look more like Frank Sinatra. I don’t even know how people are fooled by it, he’s only in his 30's and he’s…

Can someone help me out? I’m remembering an episode where two girls were turning really ugly (like growing giant warts or moles or something) while a third was becoming more beautiful. Like some kind of beauty vampire (at the start she was the one covered in warts and hid behind a black veil).

I remember there being a…

Which is why this is so annoying. He did this experiment, the result was a film that some people liked (I wasn’t one of them) but five years later really hasn’t had any lasting impact.

Inspiring a post-Season 12 episode of The Simpsons is not something to be proud of.

Well, she might have a soft-spot for “Hard Candy Christmas” as well. Although, since it is technically about a brothel closing down, it’s debatable whether or not that one’s a proper Christmas song.

“She even goes so far as to go to the mall and purchase a pink unicorn hair clip, which earns her an indefinite grounding as soon as she gets home.”

Doesn’t that run counter to the “be yourself” message? In The Addams’ Family Values, Morticia reads The Cat in the Hat to Pubert after his transformation, despite her…

“Flower sounded an awful lot like Tina Turner, especially after the “What’s Love Got To Do With It” clue. I still hesitate that she would participate in this though...”

Angela Bassett? I know she’s been enjoying a career high with her work on Ryan Murphy’s shows in recent years, so it seems like she wouldn’t be…

It will never air on HBO or PBS. This is from an online exclusive program.

78% of the United States identifies as Christian and, at 25%, Catholics make up the majority.

You can’t “appropriate” something that so extensively permeates the culture. Even though it name drops Catholicism and the Vatican, there’s nothing in the description (aside from the Pope’s red shoes) that are exclusively…

So are the Mugwumps from David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch Muppets? Or nah?

I could watch an entire episode of Danny Devito in drag brushing his hair out of his face - like 70's Cher - with big fake nails.

What do you think would have happened if HBO didn’t step in? Sesame Street is an expensive show to produce. It depended on public donations (which weren’t coming in) and government funding (which was being cut left and right) the option was to either sell to HBO or close shop.

PBS still gets the new episodes after a…

They seem to be based on the original Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons.

I don’t know. I feel like “need to think” is code for, “I’m for decriminalization but, if I say that, then I open myself up for attacks from conservatives on what amounts to a fringe issue that they’ll twist into ‘Sanders wants to turn the US into a Blade Runner style dystopia with hookers and black jack.” Like how…

“Who will look after my yachts, your honor?”

I kind of watched it by accident. I was watching something that had gone off and I just left it on HBO and never got around to turning the channel while I was doing whatever else, but kept hearing bits and pieces and slowly got invested, even though it was the early morning. I didn’t sleep well that night, but it’s…

I’m really shocked that South Park wasn’t already banned in China. Are the episodes five minutes long over there?
