Welcome back, Muppets!

Puppetry is a form of magic, encouraging people to suspend their disbelief that a sock can have personality.

What a delight it was to see the Muppets guest starring on Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night. In case you missed it, see if it's still here.

As a big Muppet fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and I think the Muppets took the perfect tone. It's awesome to hear Dave Goelz still performing Gonzo, and the other character performers are really starting to get their classic characters correct. My only quibble is with Bunsen Honeydew, who sounds -- I don't know -- less pedantic and pseudo-scientific than he used to when Jerry Nelson was performing him.

Hey Bunsen, stop calling Beaker "Beakie." He may be unprofessional, but he's still your assistant.

Thanks to Disney and ABC for putting this together, and thanks to the Muppets for continuing the hilarity. You cannot leave the magic!
