  All right. Thanks so much for coming in.
• 0:23
  We're going to have a great discussion.
• 0:33
  All right, now that the adults are out of the studio, we can
• 0:35
  finally talk about the opinions that really matter.
• 0:38
  OK, first, we should just get this cleared up.
• 0:41
  Who are you and who's your favorite Muppet?
• 0:45
  And anyone can talk. I'm Madison, my favorite.
• 0:48
  Muppet is Beaker. Because he does a lot of
• 0:52
  chemistry and he's really funny. My name's JoJo and my favorite
• 1:01
  Muppet is Scooter. My name's Iris, and my favorite
• 1:08
  Muppet is, I don't know, Miss Piggy, I guess I'm Miles, and I
• 1:14
  have no idea what my favorite Muppet is.
• 1:17
  OK, so have you watched the original Muppet show from 50
• 1:22
  years ago? The old one, some of that.
• 1:25
  How do you know what's 50 years ago?
• 1:28
  I just do yes. That is not a reason.
• 1:32
  That is not a it's totally a reason.
• 1:36
  It is not a reason. It's totally a reason.
• 1:40
  Yes, it is. But how many times did you watch
• 1:44
  the special 'cause I think I watched it two or three times,
• 1:48
  but. What's special?
• 1:50
  The new Muppet Show special. 3 Well I watched half of so 2 1/2.
• 1:58
  Why'd you watch Half I? Thought I was with my babysitter
• 2:02
  and we didn't want to watch the whole thing 'cause he was late.
• 2:06
  What would you say was your favorite part?
• 2:09
  I like when the rats sing. Yeah, that part's funny.
• 2:13
  Yeah, it's so fun. Oh, and when?
• 2:15
  What's his name? Beer Guard or whatever.
• 2:18
  Beaker. No.
• 2:20
  Beauregard. Yeah, Beauregard.
• 2:22
  He. He.
• 2:23
  Like hits the with his cup, he's like.
• 2:28
  My favorite part is I like when what's her face is singing with
• 2:35
  Miss Piggy in the boat. Sabrina Carpenter.
• 2:37
  I like that part. It's funny.
• 2:39
  Yeah, I like that part too, because, like, she changes the
• 2:44
  word in the she says instead of the original words she says.
• 2:48
  Now you're in this building. I'm freaking out.
• 2:51
  But she's still singing the song.
• 2:53
  OK. Were there any confusing or
• 2:56
  boring parts? One boring part was where, No,
• 3:02
  not boring, but one confusing part was.
• 3:06
  I actually wrote it down. It's a question.
• 3:08
  What do you think Seth Rogan was doing?
• 3:11
  They said he was the producer or something so.
• 3:17
  I have something that was a little boring in the beginning
• 3:21
  of pigs and wigs was a little like confusing too, because Miss
• 3:28
  Piggy was saying something like oh, hi, I'd like your dress or
• 3:31
  something, and she whispered it. She.
• 3:33
  Was like. I didn't really know what she
• 3:36
  was saying. I think the thing was she was
• 3:39
  like saying nice thanks to the person's face and then she was
• 3:43
  saying mean things behind their back.
• 3:45
  Yeah, that. Was funny I guess.
• 3:49
  Yeah, it it was like probably. I feel like they were trying to
• 3:53
  redo Pigs in Space. Yeah, they were in.
• 3:56
  The hospital 1 where where one of the audience's people like
• 4:00
  and they put it on the news. That wasn't really that fun
• 4:03
  either. It's all boring.
• 4:05
  I didn't really get that, but they will.
• 4:08
  When they made pigs in wigs, they were combining pigs in
• 4:12
  space and and at the dance. Yeah.
• 4:17
  Yeah. Do you?
• 4:18
  Did you like the song Skechers or backstage scenes the most?
• 4:24
  I probably like the songs the most 'cause they were funny.
• 4:27
  Yeah, I really like the songs, actually the first song they had
• 4:31
  with Sabuna Carpenter. Oh yeah, that.
• 4:33
  Was so funny. I like it at the I like it at
• 4:37
  the end when she gets when her dress gets covered in feathers.
• 4:41
  Oh yeah. And when they're like naked,
• 4:44
  the. Yeah, so funny.
• 4:46
  And then? And then also when that.
• 4:49
  Guy has to literally like, glue the feathers back.
• 4:51
  Oh yeah, that was funny. Yeah.
• 4:56
  And she says don't hug anyone until it's dry.
• 5:00
  Yeah, I know when it's dry. Did you know who Sabrina
• 5:03
  Carpenter was before you watched this?
• 5:06
  I know, yes. But I don't really listen to her
• 5:09
  songs that much. The only song I like listen to
• 5:13
  is Espresso so. Yeah, same.
• 5:16
  I like knew who she was. I like knew she was a singer but
• 5:19
  I didn't really listen to his music.
• 5:21
  Yeah, I have a few questions. OK.
• 5:26
  Which song did you like the best that was kind of used?
• 5:30
  It's hard to say. They're all funny.
• 5:32
  Yeah, it was the rat one. Yeah, yeah, that.
• 5:36
  One was funny. I like the first one and the rat
• 5:39
  one. I like, yeah, I just like all of
• 5:43
  them. They're all really funny.
• 5:44
  What's your least favorite part? I would say pigs and wigs.
• 5:48
  That was a little boring. My least favorite part is this
• 5:54
  is hard. Huh.
• 5:55
  Yeah, the whole thing was pretty good.
• 5:58
  Probably when it's just like in the audience and the the monster
• 6:03
  and the lady are talking. That's yeah.
• 6:06
  That's kind of boring, but the funny part about that is when
• 6:09
  the monster kisses her on the Yeah.
• 6:12
  And then and when the eyeball flies into her mouth.
• 6:15
  Oh yeah. That was the boring part is.
• 6:18
  About the dead thing, she's. Just talking and there's a.
• 6:25
  Yeah, Addison, I don't think you said.
• 6:27
  What was your least favorite part?
• 6:29
  My least favorite part was the news thing.
• 6:33
  Oh yeah, news flash. Yeah, I like the old news flash
• 6:37
  when the stuff like is falling down on him.
• 6:40
  Yeah, yeah, that was my thing. What do you think?
• 6:44
  Do do you think it was too short?
• 6:46
  I I think it was too short. But the other ones are like for
• 6:50
  me like this long and this one was like this long.
• 6:53
  Yeah. As long as my head.
• 6:55
  Giganto, Max and the other and then this one was like.
• 6:59
  Yeah, my, I feel like mine is like from here to here and then
• 7:04
  it's like a size, size my head. Yeah, they call it a special,
• 7:09
  but it's shorter than the normal episodes.
• 7:13
  Yeah, that's what I'm also thinking.
• 7:16
  And I'm also wondering if they are going to do more.
• 7:19
  Yeah, I hope they do. It also kind of sounds like, did
• 7:22
  you notice that Fozzie and Ralph are really round?
• 7:27
  Ralph. Yeah, that's because there.
• 7:29
  Are actually real people in there?
• 7:31
  And also there were also some more specials like the Muppet.
• 7:34
  Halloween thing. Oh, the Muppet fun and man
• 7:38
  shift. Yeah.
• 7:39
  I've never heard of that one. Oh, I like that one.
• 7:41
  It's really funny. Yeah.
• 7:44
  What's your favorite like Muppets like movie I like,
• 7:48
  Muppets take Manhattan or a muppet I like?
• 7:50
  Muppet Treasure Island. I like Muppets Most Wanted.
• 7:55
  I haven't watched, I haven't watched Muppet Treasure Island
• 7:58
  in a while and. I haven't seen, I've never seen
• 8:01
  Muppets take Manhattan. It's so good.
• 8:05
  I haven't watched both of yours. Never watched those two.
• 8:08
  My favorite one was a Muppets 2011 I've.
• 8:14
  Never watched that one. It's the one with Walter.
• 8:18
  Oh yeah, I started. Watching that one.
• 8:20
  After I didn't watch. It it's good.
• 8:24
  Did you notice any of the background Muppets and what they
• 8:26
  were doing 'cause I noticed that cat with an eye patch, He was
• 8:29
  sitting and he had the Beaker eyeball where his eye patch
• 8:32
  usually is in the background. Oh that's so cool, a gaffer.
• 8:37
  Gaffer is so different it's so sad.
• 8:40
  He looks really creepy. Me and my mom looked up a close
• 8:42
  up picture of him. He looks so creepy.
• 8:44
  He's like with his eyeballs practically full open.
• 8:48
  It never blinks. It's so creepy.
• 8:50
  The other one always went meow but now this one's like it's
• 8:55
  creepy. But since yeah, are Statler and
• 9:00
  Waldor funny to you? Because the.
• 9:02
  Only the last. Joke is funny to me.
• 9:05
  Yeah, some of the jokes are funny.
• 9:08
  I feel like the jokes are kind of mean.
• 9:11
  Yeah, I do Heckle. I I said this earlier to Miles,
• 9:15
  but like it's it's their jokes are funny, but they're but it's
• 9:21
  just mean. I said this to you.
• 9:23
  Yeah, but then I agreed with you.
• 9:25
  I think what she thanked. Because she stole.
• 9:28
  My thing. No, I didn't.
• 9:30
  I was thinking of the same thing.
• 9:32
  OK. Any other questions?
• 9:35
  I have a bunch of piggy. Funny when when she's rowing a
• 9:41
  floaty. Yeah, I think that's really
• 9:43
  funny. Yeah.
• 9:45
  Oh, I have a punchy face out of. The floaty, it's like, like she
• 9:48
  dunks herself in the water and it's really funny, yeah.
• 9:51
  I have a a background scene that I saw actually too about Miss
• 9:55
  Piggy. So Miss Piggy, her her neck in
• 10:00
  pigs and wigs was like no neck. And then some of them it looked
• 10:04
  like it popped up. And she when she said what is
• 10:07
  happening here, it sounds like to her regular voices she was
• 10:11
  like what? She's like, what is happening
• 10:14
  here? What is happening here?
• 10:18
  Yeah, that's it was like so weird.
• 10:21
  It was just like high instead of low, which sounded like someone
• 10:26
  else's. You could really hear it.
• 10:28
  Yeah, I didn't really notice that one part about that boat
• 10:33
  musical number is it shows Kermit rising up out of the
• 10:37
  water with a Lily pad on his head.
• 10:39
  Yeah, that's funny. Like takes it off I.
• 10:41
  Didn't see that. It was really funny.
• 10:44
  I was. Not really looking close to that
• 10:46
  part, I just was listening to the music mostly.
• 10:48
  Yeah, Miles, do you have anything to say?
• 10:54
  OK. OK, would you watch more of this
• 10:58
  Muppet Show? Yes, there were more.
• 11:01
  I just, oh, Robin was such a different.
• 11:05
  Color, yes. Too too dark green.
• 11:08
  They couldn't find the right material.
• 11:11
  Yeah, he's usually about as like a little darker than Kermit, but
• 11:15
  this time he was like so much darker.
• 11:18
  Yeah, but who do you like better, Miss Piggy or Sabrina
• 11:22
  Carpenter? Act and look exactly the same.
• 11:27
  Yeah, kind of Miss she she. Said that she.
• 11:30
  Based her entire look on Miss Piggy.
• 11:34
  Yeah, yeah, I would say Miss Piggy, 'cause I like, know we're
• 11:38
  better and I've seen her in so much more stuff.
• 11:40
  And I don't really listen to Sabrina Carpenter's music.
• 11:43
  Same with me. But I do like Sabrina Carpenter
• 11:45
  now that I'm kind of washing that short a lot because I'm
• 11:50
  just gonna call it a Muppet short because it's really not an
• 11:53
  episode. Yeah.
• 11:55
  No Muppet special short? Yeah, but a Muppet short.
• 12:00
  Special. I don't, I don't know.
• 12:01
  Is this Muppet Show better for kids or grown-ups?
• 12:05
  grown-ups for sure. Well, I don't know.
• 12:08
  I. Would say.
• 12:09
  Both why? Why?
• 12:12
  I I would say both because it's kind of like some of these parts
• 12:16
  are for kids with the Muppet Show is for kids and grown-ups
• 12:19
  also, but some of this like the songs and Sabrina Carpenter, a
• 12:23
  lot of kids like Sabrina Carpenter and then they just
• 12:27
  kind of have the regular characters.
• 12:30
  So that's kind of like fun, but I really like when Gonzo and
• 12:35
  like at the end of the song when he always like, tries to blow
• 12:38
  his Oh, no trumpet. That's really funny.
• 12:43
  But this part like he was like looking in there and the
• 12:46
  confetti popped out, which is actually kind of easy.
• 12:50
  Someone just speaks confetti in there and it pops out when he
• 12:54
  when you throw it. So some of this stuff look like
• 12:56
  they couldn't like remake what they were saying what what they
• 13:00
  were doing in the other one. Yeah, but I I think it's really
• 13:05
  funny when Gonzo is when he just randomly shows up driving, just
• 13:11
  driving, naming random actresses, not random, but like
• 13:16
  it's funny how she just pops up. Oh, I also like.
• 13:20
  With Gonzo, when like scooters, like we have this long listed
• 13:27
  and if no one takes it, then we'll be fine, then Gonzo takes
• 13:30
  it. Here's another with that.
• 13:32
  Also, the list is so funny because the list had like Kermit
• 13:38
  was like, why are there so many people back here?
• 13:40
  And then there was like, yeah, 'cause we have this many people
• 13:43
  and more, and it looks like it's going like all the way across
• 13:46
  the yeah. That was really funny.
• 13:48
  I also noticed a lot of I also noticed still, like when Gonzo
• 13:55
  took the list of people who were going, it kind of looked like
• 14:01
  they just put it said it on the desk 'cause I thought I saw it
• 14:04
  back there when they went back to the background.
• 14:09
  This is just some background stuff.
• 14:12
  Yeah, what songs would you like to hear The Muppets sing?
• 14:18
  I feel like they should have Taylor Swift on The Muppets.
• 14:21
  Yeah, I think there's like this. Or was that Phineas and Ferb?
• 14:26
  Yes, that would finish. OK, Never mind that I have
• 14:28
  winding lights, which are actually a pretty good banger,
• 14:32
  but I think that I've always thought that Miss Piggy would be
• 14:35
  good at singing Let It Go. Yeah, she.
• 14:38
  Seems like the kind of person who would sing Let It Go.
• 14:41
  Yeah, that's true. Even though I'm not that into
• 14:44
  the song. But like I think that would be
• 14:46
  like, yeah, that would be a good idea.
• 14:49
  Also, like in I feel like all those songs are pretty easy.
• 14:53
  And really, none of The Muppets, like, ever sing a song.
• 14:56
  Yeah, it's always like. Guest *.
• 15:00
  Yeah, yeah. Anyone else have any other
• 15:03
  questions? I have some more like 3 more
• 15:07
  questions. What should The Muppets do next?
• 15:11
  I think they should just retire I.
• 15:14
  Think they they should like I think they should have a clown
• 15:19
  come on that can like juggle and do.
• 15:23
  The Yeah, just like a clown. Yes, that.
• 15:25
  'D be funny. But also like different things.
• 15:28
  I think they should have like 3 guest stars at a time.
• 15:31
  Yeah, I also think they should have be like guest.
• 15:34
  Stars coming in like that, like that one episode where they had
• 15:38
  like. Five guest stars.
• 15:40
  What if they had? What if they had an entire band
• 15:44
  at the guest stall? Well, that.
• 15:48
  Well, that happened with the there was like a like a short
• 15:53
  thing where Weezer came on, but it wasn't actually an episode.
• 15:57
  Yeah, but it was like a short. Yeah, but they should do that on
• 16:00
  an episode. Yeah, that'd be fun.
• 16:03
  It'd be chaos Vinyl rolling thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs
• 16:08
  in the middle for like, what do you think of it?
• 16:10
  Thumbs up, thumbs down. In the middle.
• 16:14
  I like it. I like it a lot.
• 16:16
  I'd actually go like a little closer to the top.
• 16:19
  Yeah, I'm definitely. Sure about some of the parts.
• 16:22
  And yeah, I do it diagonally to the.
• 16:25
  Top Yeah, me too. I like it a lot.
• 16:28
  I think it's really funny. Yeah, it did.
• 16:31
  It's actually kind of more funnier than than the actual
• 16:36
  like Muppet shows that they have.
• 16:39
  Yeah. Probably because we get more of
• 16:42
  the pop culture references like it was from 50 years ago.
• 16:46
  So most kids probably don't get like what the reference is to,
• 16:51
  but we like get the references in this one.
• 16:54
  I have a question, what's your favorite like show out of the
• 17:01
  what's your favorite like episode out of the out of the
• 17:06
  many of them from. 50 years normals.
• 17:12
  I've not. I think the the one will will
• 17:18
  Luke Skywalker, CCP Owen and R2D2 and R2D2 come.
• 17:26
  I've never. Watched that one I.
• 17:29
  Like the moment cracked shots, moment shots or something like
• 17:33
  that. With the like ones who don't
• 17:36
  talk, they're just I like, I like that those I.
• 17:40
  Like Bumson and Beaker, that Bumson and Beaker episode.
• 17:44
  I like the either the I'm split between either the murder
• 17:48
  mystery one the one where like the whole thing is murder
• 17:52
  mystery, or the Crystal Gale episode.
• 17:55
  I don't think I've watched those I feel like.
• 17:59
  I haven't watched them, but I've heard of the murder mystery.
• 18:01
  Yeah, it's really funny. OK, everybody do your best
