Muppets Episode 9

If there is one thing about The Muppets I’ve been disappointed with, it’s been the treatment of the Great Gonzo.

This episode gave Gonzo a bit of a spotlight, and it still didn’t seem right to me.

Muppets Episode 7

One of my biggest complaints for the new Muppets series has been the treatment of Kermit the Frog.  Kermit is, above all, usually depicted as a very nice guy.  At worst, the others treat him like a doormat.  He may get frustrated, but he never gets mean.

The new show has, on occasion, tossed that idea out the window.  We’ve seen Kermit, perhaps out of jealousy, break up Piggy and Josh Grobin, and rob the rest of the crew of good times after they had too much fun at karaoke.  We’ve seen him lie to Fozzie about the bear’s quality as a writer, though in that case it was to prevent from hurting the sensitive bear’s feelings and he did confess the truth later.

So, this episode may have been a step in a better direction.  Episode SPOILERS after the cut.

A Review Of “The Muppets” For The Lovers, The Dreamers, And Me.

The Muppets premiered this week on ABC, with a promised “more adult” sensibility.  That was enough to gain a boycott from One Million Moms, but not from three of Gabbing Geeks finest, Jenny, Jimmy and Tom.  What did they think?  See after the cut.

Sqqquuuuuueeeeeee!!!! This has to be one of the best all time mashups of all time! Lord of the Rings + Muppets in a epic onslaught of awesomeness! Check out the who’s who of this piece of art by Kenny Durkin: That’s Robin as Frogo, Bean as Samwise Bunny, Pepe as Peppin, Rowlf as Gandrowlf, Scooter as Legopher, Kermit as Arafrog, Fozzie as Bearamir, Gonzo as Gimzo, and Rizzo as Mizzo. So much cute I can’t handle it!
