I wasn't allowed to watch Muppet's Christmas Carol as an Albertan child due to the presence of Rizzo the Rat.

Why on earth not? What terrible horrors did your parents think would befall you if you watched Rizzo?

Except for fleeting glimpses I never watched the Muppet Show so Rizzo is only a name to me.

Also check my reply to nightowl_games about being cold. Reckon during one visit to Calgary I was even colder (damn freezing in fact). No wonder rats don't want to live in Alberta. :-)

I was being mostly facetious, I was absolutely allowed to watch that cinematic gem, and yes Alberta can get damn cold. I live farther north than Calgary and grew up even further north than that.
