    What other live action shows have been “tainted” by puppets recently?

    For me nothing recent comes to mind.

    Now older shows like Far Scape? I love that show, muppets and all.

      I don’t know about recent, but Community and My Name is Earl are two examples that come immediately to mind. God I hate those episodes.

        You said “all of the live action shows” and then proceed to cite two that are a decade old, and one that’s complete shit anyhow. Followed by an admission that you “don’t keep up with live tv”.

        How high are you, exactly? 🤦🏼‍♂️

        edit: TBF, I totally get the “post to spark interaction to fill the widening, lonely void in one’s soul”, and am not one to judge. Could you do so with a little more kindness involved, though? The hyperbolic whinge isn’t winning you any friends, and it’s counterproductive in that way, neighbor.

          I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to discourage puppet episodes of otherwise live action series. They are bad. The people who make them should feel bad. Hell even Stargate SG-1 had a weird puppet episode.

          I’m sorry that I used the phrase “all” and it didn’t actually mean every single show in existence. I should have known that the pedantry of the internet wouldn’t allow the usage of an absolute.

            Oh, phew. This’ll be a short conversation then. Good.

            Unrelated question: how far down your own shaft are you, anyway? Like fully molars-meet-balls level and now questioning everything, or are you still that plucky teary-eyed-but-hopeful noob?

            It’s challenging to get a read, I’ll admit, but I think smart money’s on the latter. We’re rooting for you, bud. Well, not as much as you are, but you know.
