I thought the last one was okay, but I agree--I love me some Muppets. Give me Beeker, Pepe the Prawn, the Manah Manah song, and I'll be happy. I wish they'd bring the Muppet show back to TV.

BTW, the Muppet Show song is my iPhone ringtone. Makes people around me laugh every time they hear it.

Last one was decent. Not great but decent. I'd say Christmas Carol is certainly the high water mark.

Chris I may steal your ringtone idea! :lol:

My daughter and I also play the "My Muppets" app on our phones.

Jason, when my phone starts ringing (which honestly is not often, as I usually leave it in silent mode) people start looking around as the song starts, with the baritone sax going "bump, bump, bump, buh da dah" but then break out laughing/smiling as soon as the characters come in with "It's time to start the music..."

I use to love the Muppets, especially the early stuff ( Me want cookie ). Is it still as good without Jim Henson ?

I've seen a couple of Cookie Monster shorts lately, and it sounds like they've PC'd him and he likes fruits & vegetables now. Ugh. Here's how I remember Cookie Monster:

No, it is not as good without Henson. I find their stuff now a little more sinister and gritty now. I still love the old sinister farts in the peanut gallery though!.

I would say it's different now, although still good. I think the Muppet generations have been silly in their own ways, without being totally different Muppets. It's not like the original Muppets were all pure or anything. You should see the Alice Cooper episode of the original show that I have on DVD.

One of my favorite characters now is Pepe the Prawn, who didn't come about until 1996. It's tough to beat the venerable Beaker, though.

The Muppets still make me laugh after all these years and bring out my inner child. If the day ever comes where that stops, I'll move on.
