John Denver, sitting round a campfire, singing songs with the Muppets. Is there anything more perfect than that? The answer is of course no, of course not but there are things I would have changed about this TV special if I could. Firstly, it's a bit song heavy. It's John Denver, songs are going to happen but new songs start before others begin and it gets to the point where the Muppets don't get their fair share of screen time. It's also too short. Made to fill up an hour with adverts, the 45 minutes run time just isn't enough for this Muppet addict. Still, it's a wonderful thing from a wonderful time, it's sad to know now what happens to most of the cast since, I tried to forget while watching and to be honest it wasn't too hard as there is nothing quite like a Muppet film to take your cares away.
