Muppet interstitial show on Disney Junior 1st ( well, 4th) episode report
I just made a horrible mistake. I was supposed to be reviewing the 1st episode of Muppet Moments, the new Disney Junior interstitial show. at 8:25. Well, I missed that and the 8:55 one because I was asleep. I woke up at 9:00 and forgot about the 9:25 show. So, now I will review the 9:55 show of Muppet Moments for you. Here is a transcript of the episode:
( Muppet Moments intro, which includes the Newsman saying " Muppet Moments" which makes me extremely happy that The Newsman is being used actually)
Girl: Can I hug you?
Rowlf: I would LOVE that!
( Boy and Fozzie hugging)
Fozzie: Hello!
( Girl and Rowlf hugging)
Rowlf: SQUISHY SQUISHY!
( Girl and Kermit hugging)
Kermit: So, right over th..
( Animal runs in, and hugs the girl)
Animal: AH!
Kermit: It's a frog sandwich!
( Boy and Pepe hugging)
Pepe: That's too tight..
Boy: I THINK I CAN FEEL YOUR RIBS!!!!
( Girl and Kermit)
Kermit: Can I get a hug?
Girl: Frogs don't get hugs!
( Kermit kisses Girl's hand)
Kermit: How's that?
( Girl smiles)
Let's take this apart: In the opening, the Newsman just stands there lifelessly while THE DISNEY JUNIOR ANNOUNCER announces the title. Yeah, no! If you're going to have The Newsman, have him actually say something!
This episode had a topic of Hugging.
With Rowlf and the girl, I mean, I do like Bill Barretta, this felt a bit ankward when Rowlf said, " SQUISHY SQUISHY!" What is that supposed to mean, Bill?
With Fozzie and the boy, it felt poignant, and touching. All Bill Barretta needs to learn is to say something cute, not " SQUISHY SQUISHY!!!'
Then, I felt a real sense of Muppet humor. Kermit and the girl were hanging out, and Animal comes in and just goes, " AH!" It's Animal being Animal, not having to not play the drums, not in a stupid adaptation ( even though they're not stupid), it's just Animal being Animal as he hasn't been able to do in the last few years.
The moment with the boy and Pepe made me just laugh out loud. The boy just randomly said, " I THINK I CAN FEEL YOUR RIBS!!!" which would of course be your normal reaction to Pepe hugging. It was pretty funny..
Then, the last moment with Kermit and the girl reminded me of Sesame Street, when the girl said, " Frogs don't get hugs!"
So, what did I like about this episode? How it was touching and introduced the Muppets to younger kids, while also reminding adults of how funny The Muppets can be.
So, what did I not like about this episode? No Gonzo, and how this episode DID NOT capture the feel of other Muppet productions. Plus, it's too short and is a bit babyish.
While I recommend this show, I feel like this is as good as it will get and I recommend watching other Muppet productions that are better than this one, unless you're a baby in which case you should definitely watch this show and you will like it. Oh, who cares? No one reads this article anyways. Well, I'll see you tomorrow hopefully!

Not really much of anything today...
While there's not really much of well, really anything today I'm just using this to serve as a reminder that Muppet Moments, the new Muppet interstitial show will debut tomorrow, Friday April 3rd on 8:25, and rerun tomorrow also on 8:55, 9:25, and 9:55. So, stay tuned to see my review tomorrow of the show and then at the end of the series ( ending in May) I will do an overall review of the show. I doubt it'll be good because it is for babies, but I'll take a look and let you know about it.

EVEN MORE Muppet Disney Junior stuff
As you probably know by now, The Muppets are teaming up with Disney to make an interstitial show. There's even videos of The Muppets officially at the Disney Junior headquarters!
Once again, it still sounds a bit cute for my liking.. But, I'll still watch it to review for this website. There's a whole bunch of articles created about the whole Muppets-Disney Junior thing, so shall we look at one? ( It's from The Niagara Frontier Publications.)
It says, " Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and other beloved Muppets star in Disney Junior's 'Muppet Moments', a new short-form series of amusing conversations between Muppets and young kids about everyday topics such as apologies, favorite foods, and manners.
" The series will debut on Disney Channel with four shorts premiering Friday, April 3 ( 8:25, 8:55, 9:25 and 9:55 A.M), and a new short airing daily through Friday, May 8.
( Hey! Didn't I tell you people that it would only run 1 season, then get cancelled marathon style? Now, back to the article.)
" New shorts will continue to roll out throughout 2015 and also will be available on WATCH Disney Junior.
" Nancy Kanter, executive of original programming and general manager at Disney Junior Worldwide said, ' The Muppets have been a part of nearly every family's life, and we are delighted to bring back fond memories of these iconic characters for parents, and create new ones for the youngest members of the family. Muppet Moments highlight The Muppets at what they do best: making kids and families laugh while showing compassion and heart. Our hope is that viewers will come away seeing how funny and special The Muppets can be.'
" Kermit the Frog added, ' In show business, they say never work with kids animals. On Muppet Moments, we break both those rules and a lot more - and the results are fun, silly, and even a little bit inspiring.'
" In addition to Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear, Muppet Moments will feature appearances by The Great Gonzo, Animal, Beaker, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Rowlf, Bobo, The Newsman, Rizzo, Sam Eagle and Pepe the King Prawn.
" For 60 years, the Muppets have captured audiences with their unique blend of heart and humor. The Muppets, created by visionary Jim Henson, are among the world's most iconic and beloved characters. Led by the world's most famous amphibian, Kermit the Frog, The Muppets have starred in eight feature films, Emmy-award winning television series and specials, Webby-award-winning online videos, as well as hundreds of press appearances worldwide."
So, that's the article and my article for today. See you tomorrow!
