The Muppets

[EricJ]

Here's that SNL episode. It's actually from 1989. After a few clicks and annoying ads it does play. "The 1960s Movie" sketch starts at the 52-minute mark. Pretty funny! Enjoyed the randomness.

(kisses feet) Bless you, child, bless you.
(Even though it's probably a bootleg, since the expurgated episodes are all on Paramount's own streaming-syndicated reruns.)

And the "randomness" is funnier if you know half the jokes are aimed at the horror that was "What's New Pussycat?"'s influence on a decade--It has the feel of a Kevin Nealon sketch, but I like to think it was Mike Myers' first-draft sketches for Austin Powers.

Groovy baby!

Just in case some people get offended by a comedian with an arrow through the head...

Just wait until the Marge Simpsons of the world get them to add to disclaimers to every episode of The Simpsons.

[Daniel]

Crystal Gayle's is probably because of the word "Mammy!" sung during the Swanee segment. Can't think of anything else to warrant a disclaimer.

Wow, have to admit I’m kinda lost with this one...

Crystal Gayle's is probably because of the word "Mammy!" sung during the Swanee segment. Can't think of anything else to warrant a disclaimer.

And the Marty Feldman "Arabian Nights" episode for negative stereotypic depictions of Swedish Muslim characters...
(As for the Peter Sellers episode, take your pick.)

People have been overreacting so much, some pop headlines have been screaming that Disney is, quote, "Censoring" episodes by putting their standard "This stuff is like, old, so it might be offensive, like everything in our parents' days was" disclaimer on.

Uhh, no. Frankly, I was surprised D+ was taking the time to only put it on some episodes and not just lazily slapping it onto the entire series.

[Ben]

I think there should be a blanket disclaimer on everything anywhere!

Someone will always find something to get offended about in anything.

"This program features content which you may not like, so either don’t watch it, or watch it and shut up".

Episodes have been changed to production order.

Looking at the video, I was surprised to see Meredith Braun. She's so much cuter when you let her hair out and take her out of that Dickensian-era getup.

I remember Vi posting that booth clip a while back and, funny enough I came across that piece quite recently — obviously it’s been superseded by the news that the song is being added back into the 4K version that we heard in December,

[Daniel]

Actually that was me.

[Randall]

I guess I missed it.

Spoiler for this weeks "Masked Singer":



Pretty cool reveal. Yep, guessed it instantly. Shades of Goofy.

[Ben]

All that waiting and they screwed up the reveal shot!

Pretty nifty way of making Kermit work as a masked singer, though, but that snail could have really been a lot smaller...!
