A New Muppet Christmas Special!

[thewayne]

Wednesday night, NBC. It's called Letters To Santa: A Muppet Christmas, but FYI: when I pulled it up on my Tivo, it was Muppet Christmas: Letters To Santa.

The Wired article has some video clips from the show, looks like it'll be amusing.

Not a bad special. Although I think I'm liking the Muppets more in full-length features.

Haven't watched it yet, got it on my Tivo. I really liked the Muppet Show format because you had variety and a short, three act, entertainment. Seems like I found the movies to be kind of long and verging on becoming tedious. I quite liked the first movie with its cameos, but I don't remember the others; it's been rather a while since I've seen any of them.

I would really like to get the TV shows that had John Cleese and Gene Kelly. Those are the two that I most vividly remember.

I'm sure they'll show up in the collections eventually. A co-worker put her finger on why it didn't seem right - there wasn't nearly enough jokes aimed squarely for the adults, intending totally to leapfrog the kids.

Regarding the xmas special?

[silveradept]

Yes. Sorry, that wasn't particularly clear there, was it?

My brain was also exceptionally fuzzy yesterday.
