I actually think this is right in Muppet's wheel house. Think more Muppet Christmas Carol with regards to the way they can get the big picture right while still having irreverent asides.

Once again, vague notions of patriotism is not the theme of Liberty Square. Sam Eagle is a character who exists in a contemporary setting. This whole thing only works by removal by any sense of setting from Liberty Square.
That's not self referential or breaking the fourth wallThese fellows would argue that point.

I'm not sure that you can break the forth wall any harder than sitting in the guests lap.

Your opinion. My opinion is that this could be a perfect fit.

That's not breaking the fourth wall. Guests are not a passive, external audience within a themed experience.

This like every other change that has been or ever will be made, falls into two camps with people:
1. I think I am going to like it, and I am excited about it.
2. Change is bad - do not change anything - why are the ruining everything? How come theres never any new attractions?

Good job completely ignoring the critique.

No, he's a caricature of blind jingoism, and the other puppets all make fun of him for it.

Hi there. Long time listener, first time caller....
Okay, joking aside, I kinda agree with this comment. Althought I haven't been a member very long (always read the forum comments though), it does seem that this happens quite a bit. I'm actually shocked that people get so mad about change and it's poo-pooed (it seems like a lot of the time, but I haven't read every single thread either), but then I realize that Disney folks are very opinionated. Nothing wrong with that-I think people just have a strong passion here. There are things we want to see changed, and things we want to stay as is. This is why we all like to chat on this here forum-to express our opinions/thoughts on the world that is Disney!

Except that you will find that very, very few people just want things to stay as is.

What are people's opinions if there had been announced the exact same show, but with the Fab Five?

Ah yes. Now that I think I about it, people have strong opinions about the changes (not necessarily that they don't want change-it may be they don't like the sort of change that is being discussed)-if they feel like it's the right or wrong sort of change for the specific area. Good point.
Regardless, it's always quite entertaining to read!!

No, that's a fact. Liberty Square is about American heritage; not American frontiers, but rather the early colonial era of America.

The satire of the seventies and eighties, the caricature, became the exemplary example post-2001. How the climate changed!

I think the muppet show is a good idea to get more people interested in the Hall of Presidents.

Still not great, slightly better, but not much of an improvement for me.
