The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History'

[Princess Leia]

Muppet Movie, GMC, and Muppet Christmas Carol were some of my favorite VHS tapes growing up (even though Mel Brooks definitely scared me in MM). I liked Treasure Island too, but nothing holds a candle to the other three, IMO.

I grew up on the Muppets so I am looking forward to the new merch and movies. I didn't mind the TV show but felt it shouldn't have been so mean at times. Muppet Show had mean parts but it was done in fun. For all the complaining about formats, they at least tried something new. It didn't work so they'll try something else.
For me I love the original and wish they'd bring back Paul "Just an Old fashioned Love Song" Williams to write more songs for the next movie.

GMC easily had the best human cast of any Muppets movie. Charles Grodin, Diana Rigg, John Cleese, Jack Warden... outstanding!

Don't forget Peter Ustinov and Peter Falk!

This is the first "I saw it on Facebook" rumor that has actually come true, great job OP.

Here they come, those delicious golden chips of corn!

I can't believe that I watched so much of that video with the sound on.

Same here

 

[brb1006]

Yep. If this doesn't get you in every feel, make you cry every single time, they I quite simply, don't even want to know you:

Don't forget the Jim Henson Memorial service.

Yeah...actually, I think most people are tired of that song. I remember reading that the people behind the new show tried having the frog puppet sing that song on one episode, to try to bring back the "old magic" (and fleeing viewers), but the ratings actually fell.

It's nice you like it, but really, you ought to give people with perhaps better taste a chance, and stop judging them over stuff like this...

By that logic, every time Disney plays "When You Wish Upon a Star" before their movies, everyone should walk out and put the company out of business.

Rainbow Connection is the Muppets answer to When You Wish Upon A Star

You know you just set him up for, "Well, that means it's an inferior knock-off" or some similar retort, right?

Don't forget the Jim Henson Memorial service.

Oh god, I watch that memorial service every so often and I cry like a little baby. Especially when they all sing Just One Person... tearing up just thinking about it.

 

[admiral-ari-x]

And don't forget the Frito Kid

HEYYY KLONDIKE, MORE FREE-TOS! THE BEST CORN CHIPS MADE!

Saw on Orlando theme park news site that this debuts October 2nd!

 

[Magenta Panther]

Unsupport THIS!

Puppet fail!

Except that nobody's tired of that song, and it's the signature of a still-thriving successful company. Whereas the puppet song is the signature of characters that need Disney money to prop them up. But whatever, enjoy the new Muppet attraction in Liberty Square.

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

I'd love to see some sort of evidence that people are somehow tired of Rainbow Connection or not tired of When You Wish Upon a Star.

Gonzo should talk to you on a monitor in each stall as you're taking a #2. I'd never want to leave.

It's not worth arguing with a brick wall sometimes. I'm just ignoring their hatred of all things Muppet. You'd think Jim Henson killed their Mother or something.
