i was just about to argue that Muppets from Space was pretty dang good, but then i realized it was released 11 years ago. i guess that qualifies as a very long time.

wasn't the "Muppets in danger from ruthless landlord" thing done at least twice, before? I remember watching a Christmas Muppet thing from a couple years back where they were in danger of losing their lease. The Muppet housing recession thing is a downer that's getting old.

@2,

Not in any feature film I can think of.

No, I think you're right, Josh Bomb.

Muppets in Space ftw!

or maybe Muppets in Space: The Squeakal.

I will always maintain that Muppet Christmas Carol (with Michael Caine) is the best Christmas Carol ever. Because every other adaptation forgets that the book is hilarious, and nothing is funnier than watching Muppets harass a grumpy British man.

@1 Yeah, I was going to say "Hey, Muppet Treasure Island was AWESOME!", but then I remembered that it came out FOURTEEN years ago.

The best muppet movie was Muppet Treasure Island, actually.

You're all savages. The best Muppet movie was the original Muppet Movie, followed closely by Muppet Family Christmas, which co-starred Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock.

That being said, I'm excited for a Muppet movie developed by someone who is obviously just as butt-crazy in love with the Muppets as I am.
