Another announcement for "The Muppet Show".

Doesn't look like they screwed with the aspect ratio. Almost there!

Good grief, the comedian's a bear!

[Ben]

No he's a-not! He's a-wearing a neck-a-tie!

Speaking of that sketch, a fan made their own version using audio from The Muppet Show album:

Cool to compare. Couple of key differences, no laugh track and Jim re-recorded Kermit's final line. Either way it's still brilliant!

[Daniel]

D23 is having a virtual event to celebrate the Muppets!

[Ben]

In the calendar! Wocka-wocka!

Sorry to go off topic, but just wanted to say that I LOVE this song! Been listening to it a lot. LOL.

[Ben]

Arr-greed! It's very close to sounding like an authentic song from the Walt era that might have been written by the Shermans for the Pirates ride or a sea-farin' film. Arr!
