I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the Kaye Ballard episode of The Muppet Show is now available in the US.

With news of Pepe Le Pew being "cancelled" for inappropriate behavior, people are calling for the removal of Miss Piggy from future Muppet projects.

I'm feeling a weird mixture of "some of those people are clearly bad faith actors" and "they aren't wrong."

Now, I haven't seen a number of the more recent Muppets projects, but am I wrong in saying that it's been quite awhile since Piggy has been violent with Kermit?

"The Rainbow Connection" is among one of the many audios inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry today for preservation.

"The National Recording Registry will preserve our history through these vibrant recordings of music and voices that have reflected our humanity and shaped our culture from the past 143 years," Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said in a statement Wednesday.

The recordings, stretching from 1878 to 2008, were chosen out of 900 nominations from the public, Hayden said.

"Well, gee, it's an amazing feeling to officially become part of our nation's history," Kermit said in a statement. "It's a great honor. And I am thrilled — I am thrilled! — to be the first frog on the list!"

The song was included in the 1979 "The Muppet Movie" performed by Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog, and written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher.

Williams said the song is about the "immense power of faith."

"We don't know how it works, but we believe that it does," Williams said. "Sometimes the questions are more beautiful than the answers." ```

The Jim Henson biopic is officially happening with Disney and The Jim Henson Company!

It's called Muppet Man and it's being written by The Current War's Michael Mitnick from a script by Aaron and Jordan Kandell.

Kickass! I recall hearing one was being shopped around a few years ago that the Henson estate rejected because it depicted Jim having a mental breakdown or something and seeing Kermit as real. It's cool we might actually get one after that!

After Walt Disney and Mr. Rogers, it's the next logical step.

A better choice might be Adam Driver.

I would have picked Dave Coulier.

Tonight's episode of Saturday Night Live with Keegan-Michael Key hosting just had him and Kenan Thompson giving Statler and Waldorf the business and I loved it. [lol]

And Keegan-Michael called Kermit "Kramer" and mistook him for a dragon. Kramer the Dragon. [lol]

I don't know who was voicing Kermit, but that sounded leagues better than Matt Vogel.

Who's the better pianist between Rowlf and Dr. Teeth?

[up] I don' think it's a matter of "better" so much as what kind of music you want. Rowlf is more jazz, American Songbook standards, and Tin-Pan Alley, while Dr.Teeth is rock n' roll and R&B.

Wow, Miss Piggy treats Kermit badly.

She's not really any nicer to the other Muppets, either.

Outtake footage from The Muppet Movie of Jim Henson and Frank Oz ad-libbing in character as Kermit and Fozzie.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Damn, when's the last time we saw Johnny Fiama? Sal gets cameos here and there, but it's been ages since we saw Johnny.

Also Bobo and I think I saw Bill the Bubble Guy. A nice assortment of Muppets Tonight characters.

A fun array of human guests! Seems like it’s gonna be a good enough time.

It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.
