It's time to play the music!

Deep into the glory days of the show, now. Between this and the news that the new Muppet movie will focus on the Muppets themselves, not a concept, well, an old school Jim Henson fan is feeling quite cheerful. [Cool]

Ooh! It's got the Spike Milligan episode, that was my fave.

... and a Sylvester Stallone episode? Totally don't remember that one.

I feel the desire to watch the original movie. The Muppet Movie was one of my favorites as a child and continues to serve as one of my favorites.

*looks at t-shirt* Part of this desire may stem from the fact that I'm wearing an Electric Mayhem t-shirt.

I love The Muppet Movie! "They don't look like Presbyterians to me!"

Yeah even Santa Claus believes in you

(Looking at the episode list. Harry Belafonte is one of my favorite episodes. [Smile]

So are Leslie Uggams-- because of Big Bird here, too-- and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.)

Kris Kristofferson as in Whistler from the Blade movies? He's a country singer?

...That must be why I love seeing him drive an 18 wheeler in the opening of the third one.

Oh man...the Pearl Bailey episode! That has one of the funniest closing skits of all time. Kermit wanted the Muppets to perform a scene from Camelot with Pearl, but they didn't get the rights to any of the music. So, the Muppets are forced to sing wildly inappropriate songs from other musicals, and the whole thing just gets crazier and crazier. [Big Grin]

Wearing another Electric Mayhem t-shirt. And rocking it all day. My aunt has good taste in gifts.

Muppet-related fun: found this cool Sesame Street CD set at the library today. It's got REM doing "Furry happy monsters," yeah!!
