I Love Muppets (2002 TV Special)
9/10
A moving and affectionate trip down memory lane
17 July 2010
As a little girl I loved the Muppets, their show, their movies, everything. I loved the colourful sets, endearing characters, great songs and witty and fresh humour. I Love Muppets was truly moving and affectionate, and just took me back to those truly wonderful memories that I have never forgotten. Who can forget Julie Andrews singing The Lonely Goatherd from The Sound of Music, Fozzie getting back at Statler and Waldorf who kept heckling him, Gonzo and the Motorbike, Rainbow Connection, Sweedish Chef cooking "chicky in da basky" and anything to do with Miss Piggy? There may be those who think the show has been forgotten, I don't know about anybody else but I have not forgotten it and never will, I love the characters and the humour too much to forget. Back to the programme itself, I loved how they used past guests, Frank Oz, Brian Henson and Dave Goelz and actors like Dom DeLuise and Tim Curry talking about the show and the characters, about how wonderful they were and how wonderful the show was. Also the sets, photography and costumes are splendid, as is the music. The introductions between Gonzo and Pepe were fresh and funny, and I still laughed at the humour that made me laugh when I was a child. And I have to mention the ending, I for one found it truly poignant as they talked about Jim Henson(who will be sorely missed) and his death.

Overall, a wonderful, moving and affectionate trip down memory lane, and what a wonderful memory lane it is. 9/10 Bethany Cox
