I'm bummed out it didn't get renewed but if I may say, what I think is worse is seeing people badmouth ABC and Disney and say things like "Jim's rolling in his grave". (Mostly on FB). Like I understand we're upset, and the whole team, performers et. all, made a huge risk doing this show in the first place. Every episode is a miracle. Every episode is another half hour of fun, humor, and muppety content that, had they not gotten as far as they did, and had ABC and Disney NOT greenlit or gave this project a chance, we would have never got. Keep that in mind.
Basically I just feel that a lot of the the anger and hatred is misplaced. It's legitimate because we all wanted to see it move forward, but to blast the network and politics like that, and say those things, like, at least we got something out of this.
TV is not what it was in the 50's, or the 70's, or the 80's. I heard this series was also set to go to Netflix? What's to stop Disney from perusing that going forward? Not really much.
A lot of hard work and soul went into this show, and on the whole a lot of Muppet projects deliver on that. They were still the Muppets. I imagine them gracefully leaving the network with their heads held high, as in the end of Muppets '11. (Except Gonzo can't wiz a bowling ball onto the head of a network executive and make everything right again).
Looking forward to see where the Muppets go next.
