My satellite provider (DISH) just added The Odyssey Channel. A joint venture of Jim Henson Productions and the Hallmark Corp. You know what that means: THE MUPPET SHOW!!! YES!! ---

I am hideously jealous. I am a muppet freak. I adore the show, the movies, the toys. I want to do unspeakable things to Animal (don’t ask, i said unspeakable.) ---

Wanna see something really weird? When Kermit is introducing a guest or the next act, put your VCR in the slo-mo mode. ---

My daughter is crazy about the muppets too. \*\* Thank God some kids still are. Me ex-gf used to work at a daycare centre. On her first Christmas there, she took ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol’ to show the kids. They wouldn’t watch it. It was on for about 20 minutes when they asked if they could go outside. They all said Muppets were boring and that they were too old for them. These are 5 and 6 year old kids, by the way. I’m 21 and I love the muppets. Anyway, sorry about that. I’m just happy to know that some kids still enjoy them. 🙂 ---

I LOVE the muppets. They really should have two episodes in a row instead of that lame-assed Doogie Howser show. I really want a toy/puppet of Pepe the prawn. Does anyone know where I can get one? I’ve searched high and low for that particular character but I can’t find him ☹ The Muppets rule- I cried big tears (at work) when Jim Henson died. And when Kermit sang “It’s Not Easy Being Green” last week. My very favorite thing of all time on the Muppets were the “Muppephones”- little balls of fur with eyes that the witchdoctor beat on to the tune of “Witchdoctor” (Oh! E! Oh! Ah! Ah!) Love them Muppets. Zette ---

What happens? ---
