I really forgot how tropey this is, right down to the love/hate relationship with the local constabulary.
Never move in with your best friend, Buffy. I think I just watched this plot on Star Trek.
First time rewatching this in probably twenty years, and while it freaks a bit, I remembered quite a bit of it, especially all the Cordy scenes. She makes a great Effie to Angel’s Sam Spade.
I forgot that Riley and Maggie were introduced so soon. I know that we’ve seen self-doubting Buddy before, but getting her butt kicked by Sunday because of it, seemed a bit forced.
Leave when you’re on top, and leave big smiles on your way out. Who’s going to be in the spin-off?
Two episodes with showtunes in the closing credits? Loving it!!!
Felt a bit like a filler episode, but the magic of Ted Lasso is that even those episodes feel good.
Aw, i was really liking Flash this time. He’s gonna end up being the traitor of the group, I just know it.
The change in feel from the ridiculousness of Soap to the more traditional setting of Benson is more jarring than I remembered.
If he can heal you so you don’t die, it’s not wasting magic.
Lots of flashbacks and it feels like a lot of mirroring of the movie.
How many people are catching up on this this week since it’s being pulled? Standard fantasy fare with some pretty people (the prince who is definitely channeling Madmartigan with his sword flourishes), but a marked lack of Warwick Davis in the first episode.
We finally get our muppet cameos and it does make sense that it’s who it is. And I’m glad we didn’t get a smoochy ending. Keep it chill, Phil.
Backdoor pilot? But for what? Seriously, when they do this it feels like the writers are suffering from ADHD.
Some really creepy character designs in the cavern.
Leaning heavily into the Kaiju from the beginning with added cute gnomes. Can we really blame Grogu?
One does wonder sometimes what Moog sees in Nora.
The Mayhem are supposed to be old, not just thawed out from hibernation. Maybe it’s the Muppet Multiverse.
With that many human guest cameos I’d think they’d have a least one muppet cameo by now. Not even Rowlf?
I suppose it was inevitable that we’d get an origin story, but how about the rest of the band? No way they just held auditions.
Hmm, muppets on drug trips just aren’t as funny. When your entire life is like a trip, adding another layer doesn’t work as well as you’d expect.
Too much human person conflict in this one. The ratio of Muppet to human screen time wasn’t great.
I don’t know who Zedd or Sofia Carson are, but I don’t like it as stunt casting. Weird that they’re ending each episode with a cliffhanger, when the whole series dropped at once.
Still making me smile with their cover songs, but I want the Muppets to get a little more crazy as this keeps going. The live cast isn’t winning me over yet, but we’ll see.
Later than I thought, considering the connection with Diff’rent Strokes, and I really question whether a military school would allow either Ricky or Derek’s haircuts. Is this one of the rare cases where a character becomes less of a stereotype as the show goes on? Edward is so obnoxious at the beginning, it’s hard to imagine Edward wanting to live with him. Too bad Picardo is just a guest star.
Gary Coleman comes out of the gate swinging, and it’s a toss up as to whom gets the best lines, him or Charlotte Rae.
Wow, Blair certainly comes out of the gate as obnoxious. Gender roles have come a long way. I can start to see why they focused on just a few cast members after the first season.
Hadn’t cried like that watching a television episode since the last time the Conners made me cry. Good job, all of you.
Oh sure, Adam is unfair, but everything Bev has done his entire life is all right.
Not sure I love where they left things and I do hope Cid gets a redemption arc.
