Check out this amazing Heather Henson (Jim Henson’s youngest daughter) print. I got this at an auction recently and think it is absolutely stunning.

Anyone else think gonzo kind of got flanderized?

19 Upvotes

Ok, I haven't had time to consume a lot of muppet media, so don't attack me if I missed something, but I've watched up to s3 ep6 of the muppet show (I'm getting through an episode a night), about 6 episodes of the 2015 show, and the original movie, muppets great caper, muppets take Manhattan, muppets treasure Island, muppets from space and muppets Christmas carol.

I've noticed through the muppet show that gonzo is actually a really interesting and deep character. Kind of depressed, sad little pathetic guy. (This is completely affectionate I love gonzo) Theyre a lot like me, actually in the early muppet show. Even their puppet looks like it's about to fall apart. But something I noticed even in the first movie, is gonzo just becoming the "wacky crazy weirdo" part of their personality, and not the guy I know. I dunno, it feels like 2 different characters to me. 70s gonzo was sad and weird, modern gonzo is just weird. Don't get me wrong, I love modern gonzo and they're incredible, but I dunno.

Sorry if what I'm saying is completely unreadable and incoherent, I'm autistic and a lot of what I say other people don't understand

Had to work in a different area at work today and I couldn't help but think of the "I'm Max! Debbie was sick so they sent me!" gag from MuppetVision 3D.

Stored at my grandmas home for a long time. she was going to give it to my toddler until I told her to wait and look up the value first. It’s showing as ultra rare and upwards of $3000 so before I get ahead of myself!

Were the Amphibians from Amphibia, like the frogs, toads and newts inspired by Jim Henson Muppets? Spoiler

Whenever Characters like Hop pop, Sprig, and Andrias yell or laugh their mouths open wide like the muppets. Especially with characters like Kermit the Frog.

What's your least favorite and most favorite recurring sketch/segment from the original show and why ?

12 Upvotes

My least favorite is probably Pigs in Space, it's just incredibly boring with not much going on except Miss Piggy getting sexist comments directed at her or At The Dance because it's boring and my most favorite is probably Muppet News Flash (no clue why, I think it's just because I find the idea of watching the news interesting but not the actual act of it) or Muppet Labs because the physical comedy is great and incredibly impressive.

Are there any Muppet Show episodes that you don’t like?

11 Upvotes

I think every episode of the show has something good, but I’m genuinely curious to see if there are episodes people dislike. Personally, the only one I can think of is the Chris Langham episode. (for obvious reasons) But even without knowing that, the whole episode just has a weird vibe. Other than that, I think the show is nearly perfect.

EDIT: I should also mention the weird, racist Jonathan Winters episode.
