Eh. I'm not worried.

So, he should emote less? Makes sense to me!

Jim Lewis still writes for the Muppets (he's done some of the latest YouTube videos in this past year). Disney isn't bringing these people in; they're going to Disney. If it were up to Disney, we'd probably just get those Muppet Moment clips and once in a blue moon appearances on The Chew or...

Comparatively, it was on par with everything else that aired that night (aside from the Voice and NCIS). It even beat out a series premiere on FOX. So, viewership did indeed go down, but the same can be said for other Tuesday programming. It's still doing better than Selfie did, so there's that.

Would kids even get that joke? No. Are there plenty of other things for them to laugh at? Yes.

Jim probably could've handled a risque joke like that. You know what he put on the screen; you don't know what his thoughts are on anything.

There's something kinda confusing me about the violence they can show. There's some stuff that happens off-screen, but there's plenty they can show. For example, in Tuesday's ep, Yosemite Sam gets his face scrubbed out with a belt sander, crushed by a serpentine belt, and beat up by a wrestler...

I thought this episode was an improvement over the previous one. I felt the characters were a bit too mean in the first episode (Piggy, Scooter and Kermit especially), but everything was fine here (other than a heightened-for-comediec-effect freakout from Piggy). I kinda wish they did something...

Episode 2 was much more enjoyable than the previous one.

I was wondering about that too. They probably won't need them, allowing for a couple more minutes of show for them. And I'd figure they wouldn't need them either once the new episodes hit PBS. I wonder if those airings will work in the "Viewers Like You" think though.

Because it's not as if Bill Prady hasn't had any previous writing experience for the Muppets... OH, except everything mentioned on this page.

The Bigfoot cartoons have been my least favorite so far; really just empty attempts to make Bugs the straightman. But all the others have been pretty solid, especially the ones from today.

I mean, they're things that happen in everyday life.

That's wonderful news!

It's not a mocumentary, nor was it ever. She narrates it, but it's not presented in a documentary format. If anything, ABC has too many of those types of sitcoms.

30 Rock, Suburgatory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Goldbergs, The Middle, black-ish, Fresh Off the Boat - all single camera sitcoms in "The Office" era that aren't mocumentaries. Say what you will about their formats (the ABC ones are very narration-based), but your argument doesn't really hold...

From my perspective, Piggy's the "outsider" because she sees herself as really the only one with any talent value. Fozzie's a terrible comic, Gonzo's acts never work; Piggy's the only one with any actual potential. It's only natural that she'd find her own venues of success outside of the Muppet...

Except that he did. In the scene. Where she demands crazy things about their wedding. And he snaps at her.

Piggy's harshness kind of bugged me during the show, but I found the entire show very funny, so what's not to like. Carl's talking head was the biggest laugh for me. And I loved the nods to the original TMS theme in the intro sequence. And the break-up scene was very well handled. OH NO. Kermit...

I liked the first episodes. I certainly laughed, though the pacing is a bit too fast. The only dud to me was the Bigfoot episode. I don't really mind the character designs; Sam's is iffy, but the rest are fine.
