I am watching the premier of Muppets Now on Disney+ today.
Hotter than I thought it was. Only made it 4.2 miles. Going to put in the last 2 miles this evening when it's cooler.
I quite liked it! I'm an easy sell with any Muppets content, but I think this is the first time Disney has really hit on the traditional Muppets tone in quite some time (maybe ever). It's an updated riff on the variety show, with Zoom-like videoconferencing as a framing device that helps give structure without feeling forced. The first episode had a style segment with Miss Piggy, a cooking segment with the Swedish Chef, an offbeat how-to kind of thing with Kermit and Walter, and an interview with Ru Paul.
I laughed out loud quite a few times and was pleasantly surprised with how faithful I thought it was to the tone the Muppets are supposed to strike. Gets an A from me and I'll be excited to see the upcoming weekly episodes.
A question from the National Food Days thread - is cheesecake a pie? Discuss.
I say it's a pie. Goo into crust then into oven = pie
I also say I would enjoy eating an entire cheesecake but that ain't never no way going to happen ever.
Here's a fine point though: consider throwing a pie into ol'huck's fachia brute in honor of his birthday today. Banana Cream would be the most obvious choice but cheesecake/pie would be less spectacular.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
In high school, Amy and I, at the request of our boss, hit the veterinarian in the face with a pie. I believe it was at a Rotary meeting. My job was to remove his glasses so she could deliver the pie.
