Been watching a lot of the Muppet Show thanks to Blockbuster Online. Brings back a lot of memories. I mentioned something about the laugh track, and Aaron stopped, shocked.
”But it’s filmed in front of a live audience!” he said. Of course, as an adult, he realizes that the collection of muppets in the “audience” weren’t actually live, or even watching. But the childhood association is so strong, he still can’t overcome that cognitive dissonance.
I continued watching. “Silly Aaron,” I thought, “thinking that the Muppet Show was really live.” Then Dr. Teeth’s band came on, and I was once again amazed at how well a bunch of puppets could play.
