EM:HE - The Harris Family

Great, great episode. Glad I taped it, because this is one I'm going to want to watch more than once and for more than just because the Muppets were on it.

Favorite parts and observations:

• I loved the look on Michael's face when Ty came in with the clowns for demolition. The thought "what the hell?" was visible in his expression.


• Everything the Muppets did was great, from their entrance to Fozzie and Kermit's little bit with the ladder and Piggy's flirting with Ty. And I must say, Eric Jacobsen has gotten Piggy's voice down. He might struggle with Frank's other characters, but Piggy was spot on.


• Kermit running around with his own bullhorn was funny, but it was Michael's "Oh no, not you too!" to him that really cracked me up.


• Ty's observations about Paul and his big ideas (i.e., using the door of the old stove for the Pinewood Derby bed) made me see even more why he trusted Paul with his secret room two weeks ago while he was in the hospital.


• And speaking of the Pinewood Derby bed, I know Paul meant well but my mom was right: DeWayne's going to grow out of that bed in a couple of years, if not sooner. Of course, who knows; they might save it for one of the younger boys so it won't be a total loss.


• Here's a tip for the design team if they do any houses for families with small children in the future: if you're going to use the dry erase wall concept for a playroom or bedroom, make sure that doors and other such things are a different color from the dry erase wall.


• No, Paul, I don't think you should let Fozzie have the hammer.


• And finally...Animal: "Wo-man! Wo-man!" Yes. Just...yes.
