Of Muppets and Men (Part 5)

[jpeavler1975]

I have the song Blue Bayou on my ipod.

[awsome2464]

Statler: I really liked that.

Waldorf: Me too.

Statler: ...Are we in the right theater?

[CaptMARNEY]

Aw man. My jaw dropped through the floor not just at the male dancer's spider costume, but even more at Raquel's! Wooweewoo!

[mtj1047]

Who in the HELL would dislike this?!?

[Scorpio110186]

Is there a chance that the muppets could make a comeback?

[q1a2z3q4a5z6]

@Scorpio110186 no disney cant handle it 

[antsamthompson9]

I bet all the men in the crew were drooling over Raqual Welch in the cavewoman costume.

[s2amandass2]

money shit

[sagievy]

Now I know how they managed the Swedish chef!!!!.. My favorite!! n.n

[Whatnot1997]

Im 11 and i love the muppets

[FLPman]

well then my friend, you rock!

[joyo59]

im 11 and i love the muppets too!

[Sianthapha]

I never see a "making of the muppet show before". Great.

[customcartoons]

Can you believe the dress on Raquel Welch?? That would never happen on a kid's show today! (too bad!)

[sandieb43]

It wasn't necessarily a "kids" show.

[FLPman]

yeah it certainly wasn't aimed at kids.. it was aimed at adults, but always had an appeal with kids

i think that can be said for many of Jim's projects and i'm sure he was okay with that. Today muppets are considered for children, and possibly even a novelty act at that.. sad.. soo sad

[TherealRNO]

@sandieb43: Yes, Sesame Street was for kids, The Muppet Show for adults, & Fraggle Rock for no determined demographic. But still, adults and children both could enjoy all these franchises for all they could offer.

[brightbite]

Today kids would be watching Britney Spears not only in a sexy dress, but also dancing in ways which seem to exude promiscuity. At least the kids of my generation saw Raquel dancing with some classy talent on a creative show.

[forsberg2007]

jim henson, true hero!

[rocknroller111]

Wow. Look at how young Brooke Shields is.

[jasobres]

She was the youngest guest star of the Muppet Show at 15 years old.

[FLPman]

brooke sheilds was the youngest

[MunchcinAlly]

u can get the muppets on dvd!!! WOO! :D.... but it costs quite a bit

[metrocard155]

thanks a ton for posting these! and such good quality.  I haven't seen 'Of Muppets' for 15 or 16 years.

[male0502]

excelent!

[rizwan1983]

who is that singing blue bayou? Linda Ronstadt?

[DarkMasterBob]

I do believe that is, indeed, Linda Ronstadt. There's no way to know for certain, though, unless you can get the Muppet Show on DVD somewhere.

[Musiclover19]

Yup you're right it's Linda Ronstadt.

[Daffyfan2006]

Actually, the Linda Ronstadt episode is on one of the TimeLife collections as well.

[Jamiepeavler]

You better believe it!

[goaliegal31]

It is of course a cover of the brilliant original by Roy Orbison (which I think is about a million times more moving)

[muppetfan33]

You guessed it! Beautiful song, too!
