Ask a Muppet

This clip is from the very end of the hour long special The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson, created in honor of Jim Henson’s untimely death twenty-one years ago today. It also makes an excellent CAPTCHA.

    I maintain that we need a Muppet Show reboot. I think that is exactly what TV needs right now.

    Wow, 21years. Hard to believe he’s been gone that long. Thanks, Jim.

     I remember my favorite part of the show was when someone suggested that Jim was one of those “floor people.” Fozzie and everyone else looked at that muppet oddly and he continued with “You know… if you look down down at the floor, you see these people down there following everybody.” So they all look down at the floor & start dancing around until Fozzie makes everyone stop. “That’s just too weird.”

    I still miss Jim Henson every time I hear Kermit.

    That was wonderful.

    …Though, at the risk of outing myself as a hopeless pervert, I can’t be the only person to think the third verse, in conjunction with the chorus, was written as deliberate double entendre. Or was The Muppet Show’s MO similar to Looney Tunes in that it interspersed, shall we say, adult humor throughout the program with a knowing wink and smile? (I never had access to the show growing up, and have thus far lacked the means to correct that)
