To mark the 30th anniversary of the shredded wheat and cranberry sauce of TV specials, we take a head count of every unexpected guest Fozzie Bear’s mother graciously welcomed into her home on Christmas Eve, 1987. It’s a lot.  ****   Guest:  Carlin Trammel (Nerd Lunch, Dragonfly Ripple, @nerdlunch).  ****   Topics & Tangents:  1. We try and piece together the various home video cuts and music rights issues.  2. The dizzying continuity issues surrounding the Muppet Babies.  3. Can you say “OshKosh B’gosh”?  4. A milk PSA and the world’s most forward-thinking bullies.  5. Osvaldo el Gruñón, Oscar the Grouch’s Puerto Rican counterpart.  6. Parting words from the guy with the beard doing the dishes.  ****  “A Muppet Family Christmas” © 1987 Jim Henson Productions.  Full show notes with links at adventcalendar.house.  Say hi on Twitter @adventcalhouse.
