On Friday, the parental units and I went to see The Muppets. I'm not going to post a real review of the film; I'll leave that in more capable hands. Instead, the following is the first part of a (hopefully) ongoing series called Thinking Too Much, in which I take a piece of popular culture and give it far more analysis and consideration than it really deserves. I can't guarantee that what I write will always make sense, but I will endeavor to at least make it entertaining.

A quick caveat before we start: While I'm a fan of the Muppets and Jim Henson's work in general, I'm far from an expert on either one. Feel free to make corrections or clarifications in the comments.
