The Muppet Show: A SPOILER-FREE Review - ToughPigs We're answering the most important question about the new special: is it good?

I did it back in September. I haven’t done many escape rooms, but it felt just challenging enough without being too difficult. I was in a group of six, and we did fine. I think it’s closer to an hour to go through.

I schedule out my posts weeks in advance, so they’re not exactly timely, but if you want to make this relevant to today’s main topic in the Muppet fan world, feel free to replace β€œGonzo” with a certain puppeteer’s name.

β€œWell, they certainly seem to be having a good time, Sprocket. Yeah, I like it when they have a good time. But I tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about these dishes, Sprocket. C’mon, I’ll wash and you dry, okay?”

I don’t know about that, but he’s been working on Sesame Street for a few years now, so he’s got experience with the Muppet style of puppetry.

I know it’s rough, but please take a moment to acknowledge that you’ve made it this far, and that’s an accomplishment in itself. Even when it doesn’t feel like it’s true, you ARE stronger than the horrors around you.

Look, this is a good opening, but for the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, how did we not open with a parody of β€œ99 Luftballons?”
