[TheBatmanSmells]

Omg Animal just ate Rizzo at the end :O

[Thebearcat66]

WOW. That Donatella Versace is one talented woman. I didn't even know she played the guitar?

[b017ni3]

@BlenderfulMusic - did you just google "famous guys named paul" but you don't really know anything about any of them? this song was written and performed by paul simon, and is still his biggest #1 hit...

[HennikerTexel]

*FUN FACT* I started playing the bass bcause Sgt. Floyd :3

[drockj28]

1 person's inner child has died.

[TheaterServant]

@drockj28 & that person will also never find the Rainbow Connection

[BlenderfulMusic]

OK, so who is Paul? Is it Paul Simon, the original artist and composer, or is it Paul McCartney, who loved his lever in "Yellow Submarine"? He's a born lever-puller! Oh wait, that was Ringo Starr. Paul Williams, who wrote "Rainbow Connection"? Maybe Paul Gemignani, Sondheim's conductor? Paul Rudd, who might be in the new Muppet movie? WHO IS PAUL?

[Fetch26291]

@BlenderfulMusic Paul Simon, who was the guest star on this episode.

[CelesteK]

@BlenderfulMusic Yes it is. :)

[TheBatmanSmells]

Animal tried to eat poor Rizzo at the end lol!

@VampireKingDuz Lol that's right, Kurt Cobain wasn't suicidal.

[TheaterServant]

Another great Jerry Nelson/Richard Hunt pairing!!!

[aminedude]

[Nomimasen]

Howdy, folks, saw some discussion of it and Janice is, I do believe, Joni Mitchell.

[TheSebang]

Janice = Courtney Love ^^

[Limptallica]

Does Janice remind anyone else of Tom Petty? lol

[sahomai]

FEEER SUUUUUURE! i fucking love u janice

[ashvin212]

the muppets are classic and if someone ever made a parody of the muppets, i would be so ticked off.....

[qwikshot16]

@ashvin212 someone already did, or, more specifically, the electric mayhem -- it's in an episode of robot chicken

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Floyd Pepper is the grooviest muppet I know. Kudos to Jerry Nelson!

[kidy77]

encore top de top

[NaiTaiDai]

May be me, but Rizzo's costume almost looks like a mini version of Floyd's first outfit.

[gvolpe1003]

[htomsirveaux42]

hes not wearing his Sgt. Peppers jacket

[PieFights]

When did Rizzo the Rat come on the Muppet Show!!!

[jaypkatl]

Watching it in the 90's!!???!!! First run was way better!!! 7:30om (est) CBS!!

[beasst94]

are you sure it's not 50 ways to love your leaver?

sorry paul -ha

[ElectricShark]

Look at Animal in the background while they're singing the chorus! :)

[blakedawg76]

:-D

[xGlassSkin]

Great song.

[Jaguarzone]

Oh, I loved the muppets growing up! I was born in 88 and I remember watching them in the 90's. I miss watching them, they were hilarious!

[fallinanjal]

todays generation will never understand the programing we had in the eightys and seventies....

[MonkWithNoFerrari]

there's been nothing since the muppet show that even comes close, one of the only programs that kids and adults can watch together and kill themselves laughing!

[delasony]

yep the muppet show really appealed to not just kids but adults. the new ones are kiddy. the old ones are better.

[Jez32uk]

@delasony that's because the morons who own the muppets think that only kids will enjoy puppets , Jim Henson got the mix spot on and sadly no one has taken on his mantle with aplomb.

[debbiechickie5]

@MonkWithNoFerrari there were always little "in" jokes and references that only parents/adults would get...HOW I miss this show. I have the dvd's and my kids dont' like it that much since they have no clue who the celebrity guests are..(sigh).

[htomsirveaux42]

@MonkWithNoFerrari MST3K comes close

[TheBritishGothic]

I intend with all the power within me to understand that programming. I so wish I had been around then. *cry* I just SO love the muppets, and everything about them!

Floyd + Janice forever!

[DediJ8k]

@fallinanjal

Yeah, because they don't have shows featuring puppets these days.. ..?
