Does Kermit the Frog fit in The Muppets 2015 show?

[Willard321]

I have heard from many a source that there is no room for Kermit on a modern adult themed Muppet show. Do you agree or disagree?

 

[Blue Frackle]

As much as the other Muppets do.

 

[Erine81981]

YES he needs to stay!!!! It would not be the same without Kermit.

Of course! We need and love Kermit! Just like Miss Piggy!

I don't even see why this is even a question.

 

[Willard321]

I've just heard some people say that Kermit is too old school to relate to a modern era, and that miss piggy fits in the modern era better as the main Muppet. I was just asking for an opinion, I think I got my answer!

No worries! But did these sources give some specifics?

 

[Willard321]

"Perhaps in 21st-century society, filled as it is with Kardashian selfies and Cyrus self-promotion, there really isn't a realistic place for a guy like Kermit. Piggy is the ethos of the age. Loud is good. Brash is better. And Kermit, having never been either, is a 21st-century nothing."

This is pretty specific

Not my words

Perhaps you could provide a source for that quote...?

Anyway, Kermit isn't the one hosting his own talk show, Piggy is. He's working quietly behind the scenes, except someone decided to make a documentary about him doing that...

And out in the real world? He's still a celebrity. Not a huge celebrity, but neither is Piggy.
