The first Studio DC special, hosted by Dylan and Cole Spouse, was rather so-so, despite being better than I'd expected. This second special is a lot better, and feels like it has a lot more (despite also being a half-hour special). The first one had a really long sketch, and a few musical numbers (some of which were also long). The scenes in this special were a lot shorter, which I guess allows time for more material and characters.
This special has many Muppet characters missing from the first production, including Fozzie, Beaker, Scooter, and Camilla (okay, so some were in the opening sequence in the first one). Beaker's big musical duet was the highlight of this special, but I also liked the subplot involving Camilla turning into a turkey (it's a shame that we didn't get to see how it happened).
All in all, this felt more like a Muppet production than the first special, and I like the Muppets more than any of the celebrities in this special (and aside from Selena Gomez, I can't remember any of their names; At least with the first one I already knew the names of some of the celebrities, and remembered the ones that I didn't know of).

Studio DC: Almost Live! is a good special. I mainly watched it for the Muppets, and was surprised by how much screen time they got. I only expected them to be in two or three songs and/ or skits. But they are in pretty much every scene. I wonder why they get last billing.
I am not a fan of any of the other celebrities, and although this special was better than expected, I don't think I'll become a fan of them. But the best sketch was The Suite Life of Zack and Cody sketch. I also liked the number with Miley Cyris and The Electric Mayhem (and the Snowths, from The Muppet Show's "Mahna Mahna" number).
It's a shame that more Muppet characters weren't in this special. Fozzie, Rowlf, Bunsne, and Beaker all appear at the beginning, but don't have anything to do here. it'd also be great if Scooter was in it, along with fan favorites Beauregard, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, and Lips. But still a good special, though the Muppets have done better.
