Had to sign in for this. How utterly heartbreaking, yet strangely inevitable. Jim died when I was not even two, and my introduction to the Muppets were the 90s films, videos and shows. Needless to say, I grew up on Steve's Kermit. Not to say he was better than Jim (that's not even a thought...

Hearing the restaruant will be quite something. WDI is on a roll right now with Muppets stuff. If only the show was this dead-on.

This show is an absolute triumph. It's funny, zany and endearingly charming. The puppeteering, even to a pre-recorded soundtrack, is also pitch-perfect. Thankfully I'll be able to see it live in two weeks but I hope it's not short-lived. It would be nice for them to add a third variation, as...

Netflix does not release its viewing numbers.

I think Disney right now is realizing the characters' greatest strengths in modern pop culture: 1) Nostalgia 2) interactivity Sure the show did poorly but no other show can gain so much mileage off of its own characters reacting to it. It's hysterically fitting that the TV show in which the...

From what I'm aware, a live actor is on the ground and the Muppets appear in windows above, popping out Laugh-In style. Live puppetry, but all pre-recorded audio. Still even though Kermit and others aren't live, it will still be really exciting to see the actual puppets in person, and this gets...

I'm nervous to see the inside. The interior prior was godawful as Pizza Planet, so I'm crossing my fingers that they've given the place a really eceletic, fun interior filled with gags.

The show is dead, but I'd laugh if the series hit Netflix just airing season 1. Netflix and Disney have a deal that will start in the fall to give them full access to their entire catalogue. It would be ridiculously easy for Netflix to nab The Muppets and put on there due to the IP. In fact, I...

I haven't read the whole thread but suffice to say that this show was a mess and the retool, despite what people may think, was more like an audition for a second season to the network than a legitimate hail mary. Who tosses a show three extra episodes and says, "Okay turn it around and make it...

I don't watch Once Upon a Time but it's hard to believe they actually do some of the things they do. It seems like one of the most self-indulgent shows ever made. As for Galavant, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Never has a show stumbled more between trying too hard and being...

All of this I could not disagree with more. Mockumentary shows can, and have been great. I absolutely love the style. I feel like it just doesn't work with the characters of the Muppets. At all. I want to clear that up.

I'll be honest about The Muppets sitcom: I was on vacation in Florida when the pilot aired last September. Thus, I didn't get around to it until I got back home a week later. But I was reading nothing but scathing hot takes after another, which shocked me since this was supposed to be a...

The Galavant renewal is the thing that will forever make me question anything ABC does. Hearing news of the renewal made me actually go online and read the official PR because initially I thought it was a hoax. Even the producers of that show were taken off-guard. Disney has a lot in stake...

Yikes. I'm grateful for ABC to be so confident, but it really would flourish better on Wednesday, even though it's already jam-packed. Again: fingers crossed!

Surprised they didn't just title it "Muppets" but okay. The pilot looks funny and there are strong possibilities here of where it can go (although I think a straightforward single-cam would be better instead of mockumentary... think Muppets-meets-Community), but I'm totally uncertain of how...

NBC is running from comedy, and especially Muppet-style comedy as far as they can. It's not in their best interests at the moment. It will go to a Disney-owned network/channel for sure. If it goes to streaming, then Netflix will probably be the first Disney will go to. As for people clamoring...

Bill Prady got his start at Henson, and wrote many projects for them, including "The Jim Henson Hour" and "MuppetVision 3D". So the franchise is in good hands. Anyways this was very much expected after MMW didn't live up to Disney's expectations, they waited about a year, regrouped after all of...

It's just for the holidays. Muppets will be back by summer 2015. And I'm kind of confused on how "Disney Junior inserts" is the saving grace of this brand? That sounds extremely depressing if you ask me. My opinion is that Disney has a gigantic year ahead of them. Lots of Marvel, Pixar and...

Yeah aside from the insanely pointless dance break in "We're Doing a Sequel" (which was wisely cut as it featured zero muppets for some bizarre reason), I very much prefer this new extended version as it solves so many plot holes and character issues. Like, for instance, when Piggy has her small...
