True. And I didn't think it was disrespectful to Uncle Jim either -
otherwise I'd be mad. I thought it was disrespectful of the clown
who's doing Kermit NOW - the one who goes on Kimmel and tries to make
Kermit "edgy" in an obvious - and pitiful - attempt to act like the
Muppets are for grownups. They aren't. They're nostalgia, and I for
one like them that way. Sorry to say this, but they're dated, they're
period pieces, they're a fond memory - and I don't like those memories
messed with. BTW I work with kids and I don't know a single one of
them who likes Muppets and some don't even know what they are! And
that's as it should be. Time marches on. But I will never forget being
a kid and watching "The Muppet Movie" in its firstrun in a theater.
Bliss bliss bliss.
