Muppet Wizard of Oz aired this past Friday on ABC, and many muppet fans were excited about it and couldn't wait to see it. Afterwards, reviews in a thread over the on the Muppet Central site are mixed, some loving it and others outright hating it with a passion.

http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=19886&page=1&pp=15

And for the most part, in the first 7-8 pages, everyone gets along, accepting each others opinions. Then it starts going slowly downhill. MWoO starts taking it personally that people are criticizing the movie. Accusations of racism start about page 11 after someone brings up The Wiz in comparison to other versions of the story. By pages 10-11, MWoO starts attacking anyone who voices their opnions against the movie (especially seems to get into it with Emerald).

And just for "Wha...?" factor, an indepth analysis of Miss Piggy's hair throughout the movie and what each style meant.

Wow, this has it all. Hilarity, assorted WTF-ness, and several accustions of "if you don't like it, you're not a true fan!".

Jim Henson Courpes is doing backflips!!!! THAT WAS DEGRATING!!!!!! IT FUTURE MUPPET PROJECT DEPEND ON THAT WE ARE SCREWED!!!!!

*cracks up* I first read that as "coupe" and was confused as to why Jim Henson's car was jumping around.

Ashnta is kind of cute, and im not really into black Girls but i thought she was really cute. Know i dont want all the black people to get mad after that but im white and i grew up thinking black people where mean and now im learnig diffreent.

I somehow doubt "all the black people" will appreciate your patronising comment, and am sure that, like me, they would like you to learn how to spell.

We made it through 15 minutes of the film before we were just too offended to go on.

o_O If you're offended by The Muppets, then you'll really want to keep away from the internet. And the 21st century.

Dear God, I love The Muppets so much, and even if it were the worst film ever made, I'd watch it just for the "witch-slapped" line. I squealed for joy when one reviewer said that there's a lot of slashy subtext in the movie. Excellent! Thank you so much for posting this, it made my morning! :D

It's true, gas jokes really aren't that funny.

Oh, say it ain't so!

And TomTKH gets the crazy person of the day award. He wants to "organize as many people as I can to RIOT ABC" and is obsessed with burping.

People who burp are disgusting.

Thank you so much for writing this about this AWFUL film... the burp...was just DISGUSTING

And my personal favourite:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am SO glad that finally someone else spoke out about how DISGUSTING burping jokes are in films. WHO are these writers anyway? Do they come from hillbilly upbringings or something? Every time I see a movie that has a burp joke -- I don't watch it.

Fantastic.

Thanks! Roomie will be happy to hear that, he's rather proud of this one. :) Plus, how funny is that Seinfeld episode? Jerry Stiller was fantastic.

No, but there's an episode where George's dad runs around screaming "serenity now!" and it's pretty funny. :)

Yeah poor Jupiter, thinking just because it's the largest planet it's suddenly the strongest to deal with such sploodge how about we toss him on haley's and when it makes its circut of the sun.

The Sun: YES! FIRE FIRE

I love The Muppets so much, and even if it were the worst film ever made, I'd watch it just for the "witch-slapped" line.

Not to mention the hundred upon hundreds of possible prawn/pr0n jokes.

Speaking as a white person, I'd also like him to learn how to punctuate and capitalize.

I just knew something like this would come up. At least the Muppets comm on LJ was fairly civil about it. Other than random comments about Walt Disney and Jim Henson spinning in their graves, of course.

*boggles at Emerald* "Won't someone think of the CHILDRENNNNN?!"

They think of you... making burp jokes.

Wait, was somebody whining about thinking of the children in regards to burp jokes? Have they ever been around an actual child?

Every little kid I've ever babysat for has had a stage where running up to an adult and saying "FART!" or burping was the damn funniest thing ever in the universe.

"Won't someone think of the CHILDRENNNNN?!"

I wonder what Emerald and the children thought of the original Muppet Movie where a pimp, played by Telly Savales, tells one of his prostitutes to "EEEEGH! Go wash!" after she lied on Kermit, claiming he touched her.

Or the Mad Scientist, Mel Brooks, tongueing his brain-switch machine.

Etc, etc, etc...gawd, I love the Muppets.

I don't know why I found the analysis of Miss Piggy's hair so hilarious. The symbolism in Miss Piggy's hair. *dies*

We can once again see miss piggy as being a beautiful pig, and not just a pig who sees herself as beautiful.

D00d, I love Miss Piggy too, but at the end of the day--it's a puppet.

It's a momentous occasion for me: one of the non-LJ forums that I frequent makes it to f_w, and it's the one I'd least expect, too. Of course, with all the "debate" over whether or not Disney is truly good for the Muppets, who voices what character better, etc., it was only a matter of time before Muppet Central wound up here. Only a matter of time.

I think when a person starts analyzing a muppet's hair they have way too much time on their hands.
