What's it all about, Alfie?

I was a big fan of The Muppet Show when I was younger... I never missed a Sunday night of that show. Such incredible memories... "Pigs in Space"... The Electric Mayhem... and of course - my favorite: Beaker. I could go on and on about why this character but it all comes down to the fact that he wanted so badly to belong, but at the same time he was always the victim - even if it was all accidental.

I don't know if this was the same for others, but I have to believe there was a genius in casting when they came up with Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. But over and over again Henson came up with the perfect characters for each of us to identify with.

Anyway... listening to the Muppets Christmas album made me laugh at Beaker.
