Most people are discussing the alleged sexism that comes with this article but I found this part a lot more jarring "What quickly became apparent to those who worked with him was that Brian was not his legendary father — nor did he want to be. "He has hated puppeteers for his entire life," says...

Man, so many TMS guest stars have passed away in recent days. RIP to Helen and Mac. I mean it's understandable, the show came out 40+ years ago and people are going to age but it's still extremely sad to hear that a new one is gone.

Sadly, I have to agree. I haven't watched since the 3rd episode. I'll definitely check out 4-6 at some point but it's not really on the top of my to-do list. Compare that to the 2015 series where I would actively want to watch it the moment it was on.

I remember watching his videos a ton back in 2013 and 2014. I think he started reviewing the ABC muppet show episode-by-episode but then disappeared before he could finish.

Saying [insert year] is the worst ever after hearing some sad news is just a coping mechanism tbh. But I think 2020 is pretty unanimously an awful year for most. Though it's great if people are enjoying it on a personal level.

This really came out of nowhere. I can't believe he kept his cancer diagnosis hidden from the public and the media for as long as he did. The fact that he would film in-between surgery and chemotherapy shows just how committed he was to his career. RIP to an amazing actor.

I know Northern Calloway was dismissed from the show in 1989 but what I'm wondering is if skits featuring him were ever used as insert material after his departure. From what I can tell, it seems like the only time old clips of him have been shown are in specials like the Street we Live On and...

Northern's story is always a very depressing one, so sad he wasn't able to get the help he needed. He was easily my favorite human character. I'm glad he was able to be on the show for 2 decades at least.

So episode 1790 aired posthumously. I wonder if Will Lee's death had been publicized at that point since March 1983 was 4 months after he passed away. I was also not aware that the goodbye Mr. Hooper episode aired nearly a year after he passed.

Well Rowlf and Floyd are pretty much non-existent in this series and no one complains about their voices because they are close to the ones made by Henson and Nelson and because they barely ever get any screen-time to begin with. As far as Uncle Deadly goes, he was barely even a character from...

To be honest, Vogel's Kermit still doesn't really sit with me. There have been a few times (like his Sesame Street appearance) where I thought it worked but his vocal performance is very odd and inconsistent. I can understand why they decided to make Scooter the main character in this one and...

It was just fine, basically about as good as the last episode. The same problems I have had with the past two apply with this one in regards to the flimsy storyline. I imagine a plot where Statler and Waldorf are part of a test audience would have been hilarious in the 2015 ABC show but there's...

I was very critical of the pilot but this was actually a fairly solid episode. The skits this time around were all enjoyable with Muppet Labs and the Swedish Chef vs Danny Trejo ones being particularly entertaining. I'm also really liking the Beverly Turkey character and hope she appears in...

Wow, I haven't thought of Between the Lions in a long time. I remember my teacher in elementary school would actually play episodes in class for us. Really loved the characters and the dynamics between the lion family. Not to mention the infectious sketches peppered in-between in the vein of...

Howard the Pig has been a character since the late 90's, he appeared frequently in Muppets Tonight too.

Yeah, I gotta agree about The Muppet Show. Not to say that I don't enjoy the series but I could definitely have done with less musical numbers and more backstage sequences. And while I wouldn't say Muppets Tonight is a better show then TMS, I do feel it had a better plot-to-sketch ratio that...

To be honest, I'd rather have a laughably bad muppet project like Wizard of Oz then something dull and meh like Muppets Now. MWoO wasn't a great movie but it was still interesting enough that I revisited a few times. I have no interest in re-watching the pilot of Muppets Now.

To put it bluntly, it was a dull and laugh-less watch. It only made me miss the 2015 ABC series so much more. What we essentially got was a mismatch of Youtube-style muppet content packaged together with the loose narrative of the gang almost being late to submit the episode. The Miss Piggy...

Not sure if I agree about Cleese's scene being unnecessary but maybe it's an acquired taste. I do agree about Piggy's Fantasy though, that dragged on for way too long and I usually skip it when I watch GMC.

This was a nice watch, kinda gave me a Muppets Tonight-esque vibe. In fact, the whole thing felt like it was meant to be a muppet show. What I enjoyed the most was the behind-the-scenes stuff with Bert & Ernie. I'd honestly prefer if they focused more on that in future episodes. Also enjoyed...
