The Muppets Take Manhattan/YMMV

• Harsher in Hindsight: The song "Saying Goodbye" seems strangely prophetic about the fate of the Muppets just a few years later. To wit:
  • Scooter sings a whole verse by himself. After Richard Hunt died, Scooter made no notable performances for over a decade.
  • Rowlf literally getting Put on a Bus. After Jim Henson's death it was almost a decade before Rowlf so much as spoke again, and another decade before he started getting actual roles again.
  • A sad, forlorn Fozzie making a lonely exodus on his own, clearly missing Kermit terribly, almost seems to mirror Frank Oz's inexorable drift away from the Muppets to focus on his directing work after losing his best friend Jim.
  • Also, by their part in the song, Gonzo and Camilla have already separated from their group of longtime friends and are by themselves. As it turns out, Dave Goelz and Jerry Nelson would be the last of the pre-Muppet Show performers to stick with the group (until Nelson's retirement in 2004).
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "Those producers looked at us like we were from outer space!", says Scooter. Several years later, we find out that Gonzo IS.
  • The fact that the rats are working at a diner.
