The Muppet Show Alignment Chart

While I'd like to believe that I'm Animal, the reality is I'm much closer to Fozzie Bear. Same shape too. (The Muppet Show Alignment Chart by MightyGodKing. Thanks to the Mighty John Farrier for the tip.)

Where is the new Muppets Show? This is the sort of parody we need to see!

It's Time To Get Things Restarted

The Muppets may be testing the waters of their popularity, with the release of several sure-to-go-viral clips o YouTube over the past couple of weeks. There are rumours of a new film on the horizon or perhaps a return to TV. Either way, I'd love to see them back, especially if they can recapture the pre-Disney, Jim Henson anarchic joy of the originals.

For now the Swedish Chef, Beaker, Gonzo and Sam the Eagle have all set up YouTube accounts and are creating original clips. It's funny stuff and I'd be satisfied with that alone.

One of Statler and Waldorf's exchanges sums it up perfectly:

Waldorf: The internet is a completely different culture, isn't it?
Statler: You said it. Everything here is immediately followed by sarcastic comments and nasty responses
Waldorf: Yup. We're finally where we belong.

Here is Beaker's version of Ode to Joy to give you an example.
