Episode 7: Florence Henderson
As much as I loathe The Brady Bunch, Florence is okay here. Nothing special, but like so many guest I don't have a prior interest in, she's just there.
The Bouncing Brcellino Brothers feel like a precursor to the Flying Ziccini Brothers, who were always much funnier. And I know they're pigs, but they topple with only a 6 person pyramid? It is funny to see the Strangepork puppet before they established that character.
Ugh, another serious song. Fast forward. I appreciate their commitment to sticking with the variety show type format. But I come here for the laughs.
It's odd to see Miss Piggy acting so subserviant. Yet then at the end she talks about being so forward because she's liberated. I think she just means horny. I do find it hilarious whenever she does pig snorts when she is smooching on Kermit, though.
Wow. AN instance where Miss Piggy is justified in being jealous. Kermit is putting some serious swamp moves on Florence here. And Piggy is funny here (especially the "I'm well paid" line). Oh, and now she's violent again. But at least it's not against Kermit.
SOngs like "Coddleston Pie" used to confuse the hell out of me when I was a kid. But They are still enjoyable because of the charm of characters like Rowlf. It's like enjoying a song mainly because a relative is singing it.
I enjoy those Discussion Panel bits. I wish they had continued them past the first season.
Well, I was about to say Miss Piggy went a whole episode without being a bitch, but she managed to turn it around in the last few minutes. "You always hurt the one you love." I'm pretty sure a lot of abusive husbands have said the same thing. Seriously, if the genders were reversed (epescially given Piggy's significant size advantage over Kermit) I think there would be MAJOR complaints about this!
Oh cool, the introduction of Planet Koozbane! I think the bit goes a little too long. Although the fact it ends with graphic hardcore alien sex is quite unexpected for national TV.
