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...

Long overdue, but I finally began watching The Muppets Mayhem. I feel like this episode corrected an error developed in Muppets Most Wanted (and, to some degree, the 2011 film) by actually having the characters in the series like the Muppets (or more specifically the Mayhem). Nobody had to pay...

Kermit's role in "Muppets Haunted Mansion" was limited & he was completely out of the picture in "The Muppets Mayhem". What that signals to me is that Disney is aware that the performance as of yet is not up to par. I wish the compromise was be to have Steve back but let Matt (or someone else)...

They do both appear in this UK spot, but I'm still not convinced they share striking similarities, perhaps the eyes?

Kinda crazy that at this point, many people probably know that Elmo has a doll named David but not where the name comes from. Neat upload.

If you didn't get the reference, then I'm not sure how much of a muppet fan you really are.

I think this is what they call a running gag.

The experience of being a Muppet fan in the last 10-12 years can be summed up by the GIF of Charlie Brown trying to kick the football.

I did watch the trailer with the audio off, and everything looked good to me, so there's definitely nothing off about Matt's puppeteering. I really hope this series gets a full-length order and Matt gets a chance to really refine the voice. It doesn't have to be like Jim or Steve, but it should...

Fair points. I do agree that Matt hasn't had nearly as many projects to perform Kermit in. Maybe this potential reboot will change that.

Look, I understand that the new performers aren't going to be exactly the same, but I think they should be good enough at replicating the mannerisms, spirit, and voice of the characters that the illusion isn't broken. For instance, I don't think Matt is a perfect match for Big Bird or the Count...

That was such a good performance that I genuinely wondered for a second there if Steve had returned. This is why I'm so critical of the current Kermit, they can clearly do so much better.

On a more positive note though, it'll be quite surreal to experience watching The Muppet Show on TV, as someone who wasn't around when it originally aired (which I'm guessing is most people in this thread). I'm just curious if the set design will stay true to the original series (the teaser...
