An Anonymous Reader wrote in to mention Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony, a short feature on movies.com where the surly Muppets review current films. From the site: "This Week's Episode - Will War of the Worlds' aliens scare off our cranky coots? Will Bewitched be the end of Will? Plus, Pepe the Prawn begs Miss Congeniality to cuff him."

    Well, it's not as bad as some of Zonk's other stuff. Yeah, it's not a dupe. I suppose this is okay. Yeah, it's not bad. In fact, it's pretty interesting. I'd like more stories like this. Encore! Encore!

    I waldorfed violently from my balcony when I saw that muppets were being abused. Do we call PETA or ACLU on this one?

  4. It's not very good... by Nimrangul · · Score: 5, Interesting
    The voices are poor imitations of their originals.

    The writing is pretty bad, nothing witty or zinging about it.

    They don't bad mouth it properly, even when an act was amazing on the Muppet Show they'd hate it. With this they're playing it too soft.

    I think it would be hard for them to have come up with a worse idea, except maybe if it were to get into extremely bad racist jokes, violence and sexual content. That's about the only thing they could have done to make this a worse desecration of my childhood.

    I'm sick of following my dreams - I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

    Uh, Disney owns the Muppets now (with the exception of the CTW Muppets). They are already (unfortunately) "sold out".

    If only Henson had lived, we might not be visited with these travesties.
