Now that we're seeing this softer side of Sam,I wonder if they'll mention his family again.
There had better be a lot of love with this series at Disney then. This show needs to at least exceed the number of MT episodes. Probably won't even do that.AGAIN, the difference is the big wigs at Disney love the Muppets. They own ABC. It'd be like if you or I were kazillionares, loved the Muppets and didn't care about ratings. Hoping a full season beyond the 13 commitment is announced soon, but I'm not worried. I know the majority of people left on Muppetcentral are very young, but there's a very long history with Disney and the Muppets.
"Mr. Lee’s pitch — “This is not your grandmother’s Muppets” — suggested a misunderstanding of what makes the Muppets special. They were never your grandmother’s — nor your parents’, nor your kids’. They belonged to all of us, always."
The first two episodes of 'The Muppets,' are sometimes funny and have flashes of the original’s charm. But they also reflect a definition of “adult” that could stand to grow up.
If this sounds like a ridiculous thing to say about a piece of fleece with someone’s knuckles visible through his cranium, so be it. Kermit and company are real, ******, as real as Walter White or Leslie Knope. Their character integrity is just as important, and crucial to that is their unironic sweetness, optimism and sense of fancy."
"It just, every so often, tosses a tiny stick of TNT into your fondest memories."
"This reinvention just feels a little overthought. “The Muppets” does not need to be snarky to be smart, and there’s nothing antiquated about joy. Mr. Prady and company plainly know their characters’ voices. Here’s hoping they let those voices lead them to something a little less adult, and a little more mature."
I don't if anyone has said this yet, but the muppets are capped at 13 episodes similar to How To Get Away With Murder, the producers are only making 13 so even if the ratings were huge, there would still be the same amount of episodes, probably because it is hard to make an episode of this.AGAIN, the difference is the big wigs at Disney love the Muppets.

Consider the fact Jim Henson was in talks to BUY the entire Disney corporation in 1984, and a full merger between the Muppets and Disney was suppose to happen in 1990 before his untimely passing.
