Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Things have been even crazier than normal in the theater, and Kermit's just about at the end of his rope when he has to go out and explain to the audience why the next act can't go on as planned. As he admits to being at a total loss, the curtains open on a bare stage...cue a particularly heartwrenching rendition of "Bein' Green", and grab the hankies.
Gonzo's "My Way". Gonzo is preparing to leave the show for a film career in Bombay, India, and sings this as his farewell. It's so sad that even Gonzo breaks down and can't finish. Don't worry, he comes back.
The end of The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. The Muppets just discover this guy Jim for the first time and decide to put on a tribute show! But... this special was made in 1990. Just watch, and have tissues ready.
Kermit, now puppeteered by Steve Whitmire, enters in the mist of their "Just One Person" tribute number. And photos of Kermit's previous puppeteer are seen in the background. Add to how, in this scene, Kermit is the only Muppet to miss hearing the news that their creator died, and even though he is nowhere near as sad as the others and mistakes their song as them finding the right performance for the special, he requests they "end it with something... silly." Perfect ending.
So symbolic of how Jim Henson would be pleased to see Kermit being puppeteered and cheerful.
Danny Kaye overhearing Statler and Waldorf talking about what a hack this weeks guest is, and telling Scooter "I think I need some cheering up." Thankfully, it turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when they realize they were mistaken about who the guest was this week, and tell Danny how much they love him.
Watching the episode with Zero Mostel is quite a bittersweet experience, as he died before it aired.
