Muppet-related factoid for the day: Joss Whedon's father, Tom Whedon, co-wrote "Hey Cinderella", one of the Tales From Muppetland specials of the late '60s/early '70s and a personal favorite of mine. Given the issues Joss apparently has with father figures, based on all of his shows, maybe I shouldn't be so excited abou this link between two of my biggest pop culture obsessions. But at this point, if I'm going to choose sympathies between the guy who worked with Jim Henson or crazy megalomaniac "I give them what they NEED, not what they WANT" Joss, I think Tom Whedon wins my heart. Maybe there's a good reason Buffy's dad couldn't take her to the ice show!
