I agree that I would prefer Steve doing Kermit, but I will say that I think Matt has improved his performance. There were a few moments here and there where it started to work for me. And on another note, I feel like David Rudman has really upped his game as Scooter. It was an alright...

I thought it was pretty enjoyable overall. It really did feel like they had the tone of the classic Muppet Show down for the most part (with a modern twist of course). Perhaps just nitpicking, but I would've preferred they did it like the original series where the guest star performs in the...

Hate to bump such an old thread, but I was inspired to read Street Gang after reading Funny Boy: The Richard Hunt Biography last summer, and I have a lot of thoughts. For reference, I read the 1st edition, so I'm not sure what changes there were in the 2nd one, but I'd love to read that one as...

Suggs did have a cameo in Muppets 2011 with a bit of dialogue. Wow, I didn't notice Hilda was back until you mentioned it, that's quite a comeback after (according to Muppet wiki) a 40 year absence.

I was surprised to see that humans make up the audience now. Although I'm not going to complain about a Maya Rudolph and Beautiful Day Monster interaction. Overall, it looks promising. From the trailer, we see a heavy emphasis on backstage scenes, which is a plus. I do find it amusing, though...

So I've made my views on Vogel's Kermit clear many times, but let me shift gears and provide some praise to a different Steve recasting. Peter Linz absolutely knocked it out of the park playing Lips in The Muppets Mayhem. And I mean no disrespect to Steve, but Peter's version of Lips feels like...

Good ending overall. I think the whole "band breaking up" arc was more than a little rushed though, really wasn't all that necessary if everything was going to get resolved almost instantaneously. Nora meeting each member of the band to try to convince them to return seemed way too similar to...

This episode felt oddly incomplete. It was basically just an extension of episode 8 with the social media angle, so it felt like it didn't have its own identity. Not bad by any means though. I love anything VHS related, so it was a treat to see more tapes of The Muppet Show being played on the...

Really solid episode. Fascinating to see the band go digital with their accidental Twitter war and Minecraft concert. And Zoot waiting for the photos to come out of the smartphone was a great gag. You really have to wonder what Jim Henson and Richard Hunt would think of their characters using...

This one was...alright. I'm generally not the biggest fan of when sitcoms use the documentary format as a one-off gimmick, and I think there was a little too much focus on the humans instead of the band. I agree with Hannah that I am also team Moog, so I didn't like the development with JJ. On...

This one was absolutely incredible! Who would've thought a Dr. Teeth backstory would be able to tug at your heartstrings, really makes you realize how little we knew about these characters before this series. I always pictured Teeth to be around the same age as Floyd, so I was a bit surprised...

Considering the way this show was released, the cliffhanger endings don't really hold the weight that they would on traditional broadcast television. This was an interesting one, I especially liked the Dr. Teeth animation bit & Zoot's amusing one-liners. I feel like this show is a mix of the FXX...

This one might be my favorite yet (or at least a tie with "True Colors"). I loved the use of archival footage from The Muppet Show throughout, especially the callback to "Rockin' Robin". And really nice touch to have all those home-recorded VHS tapes scattered everywhere. Another highlight for...

I thought this was a step down from the last one, but it was still pretty good. It seems like the show is centering on one member of the band each episode ("True Colors" was Janice-centric, now this one is all about Animal). Surprisingly, it is Zoot who keeps delivering some of the funniest...

I thought the pilot episode was pretty good, but this one was absolutely phenomenal! I especially loved the little things, like the Mayhem grocery shopping and Dr. Teeth & Floyd playing pong. They're such an engaging ensemble that they make even mundane activities feel wildly entertaining. Also...
