I also think they used that storyline of "getting the band back together," in the first and third muppets films. The plot of the first movie was them meeting for the first time. How is that "getting the gang back together" when they haven't even met?
We didn't see Amy and Jason get married? No need. The fact that he "manned up" enough to propose is a good enough plot resolution to that storyline.
We didn't see that new muppet do anything but whistle? Wth kind of talent is that? Really they couldn't think up a better skit for him to do in order to end the show. As someone who can't whistle I think it's a great talent. It was beautiful and nicely shot. Perfect way to end the show.
What was the point of having that kidnapping montage when you only kidnap one person. At least kidnap like 3 or 4 hosts. Why? They only needed the one and gathering more would have taken up too much time in a half-and-a-half movie.
You mean to tell me that out of the hundreds of hosts that were on the show over the years none of them would come and do a benefit show? Really? Where are Steve Martin, Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews, Rita Moreno, Raquel Welch? Obviously they needed someone who is "today" to appease the producer. None of the people you mention would have pleased her and she would have pulled the show. How many 5-10 year olds have any idea who Rita Moreno and Raquel Welch are? Even if they've seen the Muppet Show episodes it still would probably be meaningless to them. Even Steve Martin and Carol Burnett would be a stretch. Of your list the only person who would probably instantly recognizable is Julie Andrews and mostly because she's done many child-friendly films through her whole career.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
