Loved the Doc Hopper thing.

The idea of bringing back Doc Hopper's Frog Legs resteraunt in the Kermitless reality was brilliant. Showing the other Muppets' lives gone down the tubes was expected in an It's A Wonderful Life parody, but bringing back Doc Hopper(even if it just shows his resteraunt) is just unexpected and really hits home with long time Muppet fans. Anyone else agree?

Then he got a idea.
An awful idea.
The Grinch got a wonderful awful idea!

Yep. Doc Hopper's frog legs was unexpected and cool.

Yes, it was a smart idea to bring back some things that were in important in The Muppet Movie.

Oh I started hopping up and down and shouting at the TV - I should probably point out that I'm a grown woman and my friends were all staring at me strangely but all the same - it was flippin' awesome!

The penguins are calling and I can't find my way out of the labyrinth.

When I look at Doc Hopper's, I think of it as an indication of what caused Kermit not to be born. Like maybe one of his past relatives got cooked up.
