Muppets Magic from the Ed Sullivan Show



Muppets Magic from the Ed Sullivan Show, 2003 (footage originally broadcast 1966-1971). A compilation of performances by the Muppets on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Unknown writters & directors. Starring Jim Henson & Frank Oz.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 0/4 (Terrible). Of course the video as a whole has no story, but also the stories in the sketches tend to go along the lines of, "Something weird happens, then it blows up." Which is fine, but not exactly a story.
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 1/4 (Bad)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). It's a pretty crappy video, but the sketches are all nice (although the best of them have been recycled on The Muppet Show or Sesame Street). Jim and Frank, doing what they do, back when they had a lot to prove - can't go too far wrong with that.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
