DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT.

You thought your life was complete. You were so very very wrong. Because until now, you had not seen Upside Downton Abbey, in which Muppet Carson attempts to serve tea and crumpets to Muppet Dowager Countess. Kudos to the costume designers for nailing Violet's wardrobe, especially that hat!

It's a very snowy Christmas when Cee Lo shows up stranded on Kermit the Frog's doorstep. Luckily, the whole Muppet gang is there to show him a good time. Even St. Nick (Craig Robinson) joins the party!

We're all bummed that Jason Segel won't be back to write and act in the next Muppet movie, but there is some good news! Flight of the Conchords' Bret ("Brit?") McKenzie will be returning to compose the film's score. McKenzie, who has long had it going on, won the 2012 Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Man or…

It's pandemonium when Jim Henson's Fraggles manage to break into the studio during a Ben Folds Five recording session for the song "Do It Anyway." Luckily, as is the case with anything the Fraggles get their little felt paws on, the chaos only improves things. Better still? The video includes cameos by Anna…

A Colorado pastor named Kevin Swanson had a conniption fit on his radio show Generations with Vision last Friday about the Muppets breaking ties with Chick-fil-A, again demonstrating that some fundamentalist Christians are more comfortable having dialogues with imaginary creatures than with real people.

Last week, Chick-fil-A's CEO confirmed what liberal fun-ruiners already knew — the restaurant not only serves up delicious waffle fries, but also some good old fashioned from-scratch bigoted homophobia. Like Mom used to make! The CEO's admission further ignited the already red and itchy culture wars that divide the…

This episode of Everyone is Horrible is brought to you by the letters W, T, and F, and the number 20,000,000. The US government has withdrawn funding from a $20 million project designed to launch the Pakistani version of Sesame Street after it was revealed that the puppet theater that was supposed to be creating…

This isn't exactly new, but it's worth a watch because it will remind you of just how much you loved The Muppet Show. It's an original pitch that Jim Henson made for the show to sell it to CBS, and it's quite a tour de force. It's all the best things—the knowing humor, the visual tricks, the pure charm—that ended up…

In this week's TV roundup, we toast the return of Community, the Muppets make the rounds, Jessica Simpson is very pregnant, and Will Ferrell and Nick Offerman get drunk on Today while wearing bathrobes.

Just what you didn't know that your day needed: a video that combines your recommended daily allowance of your new boyfriend—The Artist's dreamy Jean Dujardin, guns, Muppets, and a hearty helping of laughter. Drop everything that isn't a baby and watch this.

Shopping for an entertainment enthusiast? Step right up! We've got presents for fangbangers, Muppet maniacs, audio addicts and Portal players.

In a recent segment Fox Business Network wondered "Are Liberals Trying To Brainwash Your Kids Against Capitalism?" and it's hard to argue that they aren't! (Particularly when you roll your eyes and scream while the one liberal on the show speaks.) Several Fox anchors and a representative from the Media Research Center…

I was a plucky little girl, but I never related to the rough-and-tumble icons of children's lit, like Pippi Longstocking or Harriet the Spy. Even Ramona Quimby, who seemed cool, wasn't somebody who truly spoke to me. She was scrawny and scrappy, and I was soft and sarcastic. I connected instead to Miss-never…

Jason Segel hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and it ended up being one of the most hilarious episodes in a long time. He was surprisingly great, and the fact that he brought along a few of his costars from The Muppets was an added bonus.

After the countless parodies, trailers, and Muppet-inspired music that's been released over the past six months, now you can actually watch a selection of The Muppets' first musical number. While it kind of feels like we're watching one of the musical numbers performed by Jason Segel and company on How I Met Your…

The adorable brown muppet girl who sang a song about how much she loves her hair (and inspired a t-shirt) is back with a song about how she plans to change the world. Clearly we're not in Sesame Street's demographic anymore, but we may need this muppet to sing us a motivational song every morning.
