Some people think The Muppets are for children. Nope. I never once had the kids in mind when I performed. I mean, what’s the difference between performing for kids and performing for adults, anyway? We were adults and we had fun performing as adults. And the kids got it.
@TheFrankOzJam Wasn't the muppet show originally going to be called 'sex and violence'? The muppet show is timeless, as are all works of genius.
@StFilmmaker Yep. Although we weren’t even thinking about family. We were only thinking about what was funny and what enriched the characters’ relationships. But people just always to seem to need to label everything.
@weblore1 The Storyteller was absolutely brilliant. More of Jim pushing the envelope
@TheFrankOzJam @stymiedthoughts I've always differentiated "for children" and "suitable for children"
@TheFrankOzJam The Muppets are even referenced in @Nnedi 's Akata Warrior....
