Well it's obvious the show is rather quaint...err, to put it more bluntly, tumbleweeds with a side of crickets. On one hand, Im eager to see ANY new Muppet or Henson Alternative work no matter the quality...just to see it out there.Some fans are easier to please. I wanted to like Angelo, but I don't see that happening. Also, where's the usual putting-on-a-show excitement that endears us to the Muppets? I'd love to see Scooter giving notes and helpful tips behind the camera and some fun Muppet goofiness. Maybe have Animal eat all the ingredients and have Cat and company have to make a meal with limited resources. I'm just not buying no matter how much I want to. Thank Frog for the movie because if this was the only Muppet project out there I'd cry. Again, it's okay...but aside from some Muppet side-bits, it's just not Muppet quality. At least not yet.
On the other hand, like you said it lacks a pop. We've seen Martha Stewart work with Sesame characters, and it works. Angelo seems to have that Muppets Tonight second fiddle whatnot blandness. But you're right, it seems if you're going to call it "Muppets Kitchen: Cooking with Cat Cora" it should star either an established character or one that is a strong fit(or a revolving roster of helpers)
Then again...this is just a webisode thing, and it's not like it's even on tv. Hence why I take the "well least its the muppets and something new" approach than get too nitpicky.
Also...seriously, that Gonzo design has to go. What happened to the Muppets.com and Letters to Santa puppet?
