Disney + The Muppets Mayhem

[NakedMoleRat]

Just watched episode one. Looks like Disney finally figured out what to do with the franchise.

Same, looking forward to continuing

I’ll binge it this weekend.

Really like that we got all the episodes in one drop, not weekly.

Just finished the show. It captured all of the essence of The Muppet Show in 10 episodes.

This is the best Muppet’s that Disney has produced since they bought the franchise.

I even went on Amazon and bought the album. It’s only in vinyl or MP3.

I’ve been wanting a turn table for a while now anyway…time to pick one up finally.

 

[NakedMoleRat]

I just bought my first vinyl album in over 30 years. Somehow it’s the only format that seemed appropriate.

Now I need to get a record player.

And might I add, the record is in translucent Mace Windu lightsaber purple.

I was shocked to find out the original songs were written by Linda Perry, of 4 Non Blondes fame.

They did have hits!

I'm 2 episodes in and really liking it! For me this show is capturing the magic of the original Muppet Show and first Muppet Movie.

Glad to have the Muppets back.

Six episodes in. It's terrific!
I love flashback Floyd.

Watched it. Enjoyed it. Good songs. I really don't like Nora though. She just... messes everything up.

Nora, Nora, Nora…

I on the other hand, loved her.

Why do all muppets play left handed guitars?

Why do all muppets play left handed guitars?

Because the majority of the performers are right, handed, and that’s what they are using to control their mouth with.

Still don't get it.

 

[Treadwell]

The performer's dominant hand is used for the mouth. The other hand controls the rods for the arm(s).

 

[Laspector]

They use two people on muppets all the time. Why not here?

Some puppets use two people, depending on their hand usage, but not all. Many of the Mayhem band members utilize the rods.

Still seems like doing right handed guitars would be no problem. The rod would just be crossing the other way. I am left handed and I don't care, left handed guitars look weird. Yes, even Hendrix and McCartney.

Or it's just a puppet performance, and you are overthinking it?
