ZOOT GOT A LINE! The line? "Solid."

Yes, I am watching the special right now. And I screamed "YES! OUT OF OBSCURITY!" Why? THE EM! ! ! WOO-HOO! ! !

And another line. Something unintelligable muttering...

SWEDISH CHEF! ! ! XD

Kermit running the hotel! London "The Rich". London & Piggy! Perfect match! Gonzo as the janitor! "Oh, he's perfect..." The twins mistaking Gonzo for Arwin! ... not a stretch. XD Air vent crawling! Miss Piggy being demeanding as ever! Just. As. London is like. London making no sense! He found the problem! Pipes and wires! "COunting this one... *thinks about it* ... none." Piggy and London complaining.. Heehee, daddy runs the hotel. Oh, ono! Yay for demanding stuff! Gonzo's goin' for a ride! Kermit complaining to Moseby and him agreeing! Gonzo falling on Moseby! London & Piggy ignoring it!

Swedish Chef in tears... then chases them all out! ... and Gonzo opens the door on him.

Commercial break.

Edit: And, of course, Pepe & Rizzo with Dylan and Cole at the beginning... hehehehe...

Wow. I'm really not liking this at all.

The Snowths can't even make that noise.

This number might be picking it up a little... Kermit's a really good dancer.

I'm not really impressed. I watched a few minutes with my dad, an old school Muppet fan, and he had this deep look of confusion on his face :P

I mean, it has its funny moments, but overall I'm finding myself rather bored.

And where was Fozzie? And Rowlf?

Ashley had a crush on Fozzie? Heeheehee... Piggy looking for Zac. XP Frogs in biology. *the number starts* ... wow. Kermit's... doing okay. Bop to the top. Uh oh... Piggy. "I'll show her!" Piggy's outfit! She makes a GREAT Sharpay! Ashley vs. Piggy! Divas! "Gotcha! Gotcha!" "What is he talking about?" Heheh... ashley & Piggy out to lunch together.

Double your fanbase. XP "I am Joan. S. Jonas, your long--" OMG! THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM! Piggy's interjections/singing! Yeah, you guys do get crazy. XP

Heheh, chickens. XP "Crazy's normal around here." O_o Starting again?

heres my comments

Awesome Just having the Muppets back
now its time for me to say how i feel but i always feel like im the controversial one here on MC. but oh well
SPOILERS!
The Muppets totally up staged the Disney Stars and it made all worth while could do without the cheap laugh track,
i loved the settle references to past Muppet Movies, Shows and Songs.
Rizzo and Pepe who better than take the spotlight from to annoying Disney "stars"
the electric mayhem it was awesome having them all back and having them talk was great....Janice's voice needs some getting used too but she has had a few puppeteers since Richard Hunt's passing so maybe they just haven't officially cast her yet
The Swedish chef was awesome as a writer...and was it me or did gonzo look a little different maybe a new style to build him?
can i just say Kermit looks great in a suit
and Miss Piggy was just Miss Piggy,
Kermit and Ashely Tisdale that was a very different side of kermit and had me laughing...he looks decent in blue(Kermits kinda a little ...hmm i let you use your imagination )
eh the piggy and jonas bros scene i didnt like to much, but i guess i can have my dislikes too. she didnt look to bad as an emo person
all in all im happy to have to Muppets back whether they had there own special or were scene stealing guest stars on a disney channel "stars" special, i want more and i want it now, growing up with kermit and the gang is something i wanna share with my kids so the muppets need to come back fully. ok my thoughts are done go ahead ridicule me, ever since my comments on muppets wizard of oz im used to it
haha statler and Waldorf sleeping...so anyone else catch the subtle muppet show theme song at the end

Now that it's finished, my final thoughts are that it was okay. Not what I expected, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.

I really liked seeing S&W at the end. I had a feeling we would see them.

The special was good. Though in my opinion, not as good as Muppet Tonight or It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie.


I noticed it said The Muppet Studio. So does that mean the division isn't called Muppets Holding Company L.L.C. Anymore?
