Oh, I totally forgot about the doozers.  They rule.  Also, I know this is off-topic, but can I just say that redneck comedy sucks?

[joanna]

i'm all over this thread.

what about the fact that (your favorite freak and mine) jason segel is currently writing the next muppets movie? HOT DAMN!

[erika]

Doozers do rule. They are such good little workers. I'd like some for my desk... who do you have to call to make that sort of thing happen?

Rednecks? Muppets? Got you covered!

[joanna]

you know who i'd like for my desk?

teeny little super guy.

Poor Bert is stuck playing the washboard!

Down with redneck comedy and hooray for Muppets!

I've seen a lot of people giving Segel flack for bringing back the Muppets but I think it could be very good. He's also mentioned that he really wants Paul Williams to come back and help write the music, which would be fantastic.

I listened to that album religiously when I was five. I also had a 45 of this:

I don't mind a cash in if it's done well, the problem is that 99.9% are awful. I think Segel's heart is in the right place with this though.  I haven't seen any of the recent Muppet films but they all sounded pretty bad.  I see this as a chance to make them awesome again, by someone who is a big fan.

Gravy, if one wanted to make a Muppet Movie, how would they do so without "cashing in on nostalgia"

The guy likes Muppets. I like Muppets. I get it.

The children I take care of's parent's have the "Sesame Street: Old School" DVDs sets. The other day, the three of us were watching, and this skit came on. I vaguely remembered it. We were all laughing and having a great time, but when the teeth started tearing the desk apart, Sadie, who is one-year old, started hysterically crying and screaming, and I couldn't get her to stop for 20 minutes. When I looked this up on youtube, the tag said that apparently a lot of children were scared by the teeth.

Also, it sounds like Don Knotts is doing the voice.

I am way too tired to find it on youtube, but my absolute favourite has always been the one where there are all these bunnies dancing around and then the monster comes in and bites all their heads off.

For some reason, in the early 90s, the christian television station 'round these parts used to show like eight episodes of the muppets in the middle of the night. My mom taped them every day and that was basically all the tv I ever watched until I turned about 6.

My first fully formed sentence was "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Dudley Moore!" from (I guess) the episode..Dudley Moore was...on? I am told this freaked my parents out.

That is so awesome.

Although: The museum at which my girlfriend works as a docent will definitely be having a Muppets exhibit next year. Opening weekend happens to coincide with my birthday, so if you'll be in the Orlando area, look out for a 26 year old guy grinning like a fucking idiot. I've said it before and I'll say it again- The Muppet Movie, all time top 5.
