Bottom line: nothing remotely like a story arc, and the ending must have made no sense at all to most of the audience.

More: the Sharon Tate subplot is completely unnecessary. Once this is realized it become bad taste, much like Alan Moore’s use of Kitty Genovese in WATCHMEN.

Disagree. EMMET OTTER'S JUG-BAND CHRISTMAS is not only the best from Jim Henson and Co., it's among the best all-around holiday specials ever. Hands down. No question.

That’s the second time I’ve seen that mentioned over the last couple of days. And I’d never even heard of it before.

I'm sorry, Matt - but you're just wrong. And I will
destroy you for this. So begins The Great Christmas Muppet
War of 2019!!
Of course I agree that EMMETT OTTER is fantastic. I hadn't
considered it as i was comparing original Muppet cast
Christmas shows. EMMET is an annual tradition for me along
with MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS. They are hard to compare
since they are so different tonally.

If a Jewish vote counts, I declare that the best is actually 1978's CHRISTMAS EVE ON SESAME STREET.

Pick a side, Corporal Penn, and don't add to the fog of war.

I don't know. A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS is kind of a like a Christmas Crisis on Infinite Muppet Earths. Muppets from The Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock AND Muppet Babies??? Pretty strong stuff.
