This is from Wikipedia's article "Television pilot." The new Muppet Show is not a backdoor pilot.
(I know this doesn't really matter. Just let me be pedantic, please.)

Minnie Pearl
Herbie the Love Bug
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
The Church Lady
Grimace

It reminds me of a promotional event for Fraggle Rock: Rock On that was livestreamed on YouTube during the lockdown. They clearly stated that the new show was on Apple TV+, but throughout the entire event, people in the chat were asking "Can I watch it on Netflix?" "Can I watch it on Disney+?"
If there's one thing I've learned from the hype about the new Muppet Show special, it's that people are incapable of searching for information online.
"When is it? Where can I watch it? How long is it? Is it only one episode?" Gosh, it's a shame search engines don't exist.

I wanted to join in the fun of sharing a screenshot of an empty screening of the Melania documentary... but there are four tickets sold for Saturday night at my local theater. Who ARE these people?!?!?

I've been watching Twin Peaks: The Return for the first time, and I got to episode 4 last night. The scenes with disoriented Cooper and the entire scene with Wally Brando are very, very funny.

You wouldn't think there would be much of a difference between sunflower seed brands, but I've recently discovered that Spitz are not as good as Bigs. (And neither of them are as good as David.)

I didn't watch the previous Muppet Show trailer and I've decided not to watch the new one either. I want to watch the show with eyes as fresh as possible!

Kids today don't understand the joke where Lucy tells Schroeder that Beethoven isn't so great because he's not on a bubble gum card.
Because kids today don't chew bubble gum. They only chew TikTok.

I try to avoid seeing that guy's face or hearing his voice, but I saw a clip of today's speech and... wow, he really looks and sounds like he's about to keel over.

The current Supergirl comic is a good, fun combination of superhero stuff and hangout vibes. Supergirl is back in her home town as Linda Danvers... Linda's supporting cast includes Lesla, Lena, and Luna, and I only occasionally get confused about which is which.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

(Left to right) A tense drama, a ridiculous low-budget comedy, a misguided "funny" detective story, an excellent story about real people dealing with life.

I planned my pre-Avatar beverage consumption like I was doing a complicated mathematical equation.
And it worked! I didn't have to leave the theater once during the movie!
