My Favorite Muppets
I remember watching The Muppet Show when I was growing up. I loved it. I loved all of the movies, I loved the cartoon.
However, one of the things that I never understood as a kid were Waldorf and Statler, the grumpy old men who sat in the balcony and harrassed everyone (particularly Fozzie). I have realized in my adult life that they are truly the most hilarious of all of the Muppets. I think that they are the Muppets that Jim Henson created for adults who had to watch The Muppet Show with their kids.
Now, Waldorf and Statler are reviewing movies for movies.com. I think that this is possibly one of the greatest ideas that anyone has ever come up with in the history of the internet. OK. Maybe that’s over-stating it a bit, but I love it.
There’s just something about those crotchety, old men that makes me laugh.

I can’t wait unitl we get out stuffed doll version of Waldorf and Statler (hint hint Rich and Sarah)! They will make the best addition to the movie room! Carol, will you build us a balcony?

Yes! There they are, nicely done. And a little bit creepy seeing them so blown up like that. I, too loved the Muppets but was also a little freaked out by them. Puppets in general kind of scare me. But right on to movies.com I had no idea. Brilliant!
