So I'm watching the Prime Time Emmys when Josh Groben starts singing a medley of television theme songs. He breaks into two lines of The Muppet Show theme doing his best Animal impression while a very poorly puppeteered MR Animal replica simply bounces around like an epileptic tart next to the house drummer until the medley changes to the X Files theme and he's hoisted into the air while Josh screams "don't go!"

If what I just said makes no sense, then welcome to the club. :halo:

I saw it! It was very strange--but GREAT to have The Muppet Show theme included in the medley! I was thrilled!

Definitely great they recognized TMS as a classic show, but I'm sure Eric could have made a brief cameo, it looked so hackneyed and slapped together. Of course, the Emmy's this year don't seem very well written.

Agreed. Even Stewart and Colbert weren't that funny... But Don Rickles was HILARIOUS!

Do you agree that Howie Mandell should never be allowed to host anything outside his little show ever again? :stick_out_tongue:

I think Howie should be forced to make new episodes of Bobby's World instead, myself....

Uncle Ted RULES!

Well, Josh Groban was quite impressive. He ought to do an old fashioned, pure rock album. I had him on my list of famous people who should appear with the Muppets on a new show. Maybe there is hope...

Saw it too and was thinking the same. What in the world? But he was funny on all the Sitcom Themes. My mom laughed at all his impression. I couldn't believe that he was doing this and couldn't stop laughing. Even when he did his best of Cartmen from South Park. Funny stuff. But his Animal was really funny too.

I was totally bewildered by the fact that they simply hung an Animal replica from a wire and bounced it around...it seemed disrespectful though I was glad TMS was included in the medley.
