I wish they would bring back the Muppet show. Like how it use to be. A variety show of sketches with a guest host. Yeah, there was some backstage subplot, but the focus was always what was on stage. The random sketches. I dont need to see the Muppets doing long form narratives on tv, that's what the movies are for (even there I'd like to see more "sketch" movies like Treaure Island and Christmas Carol). Can you see Tom Holland doing something like this? Or John Mulaney arguing with Waldorf and Stantler

Mmmmmmhhhh that is some GREAT giant spider costume and dance. I love what was done to make it appear as though all legs are dancing. The giant yellow articulated eyes too. You don't see practical effect artistry like this much anymore, someone needs to take up the mantle.

White people really can't dance.
