Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony is a multi-award–winning webshow starring the Muppet characters, Statler and Waldorf. It ran biweekly on Movies.com from June 2005 until September 2006. The series spawned 35 episodes and featured many Muppet characters — both well-known and newly created characters. The two elderly curmudgeons would discuss upcoming films, watch the latest movie trailers and share the week's "balconism" from their theater box. Many of the webisodes featured a segment with other Muppet characters — for example, Pepe the King Prawn often reviewed the recent DVD releases or gave remote reports, fictional movie trailers, or commercials starring other Muppet characters. Many established Muppet characters appeared in these segments - like Rowlf the Dog, the Swedish Chef, and Bobo the Bear. Plus, many new recurring and one-time gag characters would appear in segments, sketches, and parodies – for example, Larry and Oliver, Lester Possum, and Ted Thomas.
