I really liked Muppets Tonight, and was depressed that it wasn't well received. Also, I agree, iSm, that Muppet Christmas Carol was fantastic. Also, your footnote is right on. It always amazed me that felt and foam rubber puppets could evoke such empathy, and be as funny or as heart-breaking as any human or animated character. I guess that's why I want to see that particular art form continue in some way, with the classic characters or with new ones.
