For example, I love the finale of the Cleo Laine episode of The Muppet Show. Dark, artistic, and beautiful.<br /><br />I'm glad that we share an appreciation for all the various talent that Jim Henson productions have showcased throughout the years.

Your review of the Muppets Tonight sh...Wow Abigail. Your review of the Muppets Tonight show featuring The Artist Formerly Known As Prince: highly subjective and naive for a self-proclaimed Muppet fan. If you review even the first 3 seasons of The Muppet Show series you should note the diversity in performers. Not ALL were singers, dancers, or comedic actors (the later category seeming to be your preferred basis for comparison) they were artists whose talents were as varied as the Muppet characters themselves. To rival Prince with Heather Locklear (easily the Cheryl Ladd of her day) is to compare Elton John to Raquel Welch: different stars - different talents. Not all Muppet Shows ended with a 'feel-good' happy cast number. Henson equally valued and showcased somber tones and themes, giving the show emotional depth and true humanity.
