It will be interesting to see what changes are made. I know that a lot of fans have complained about the more adult content as well as how mean the characters are (though I think the mean-ness dropped considerably after the first episode), maybe that will be toned down.
I'm hoping that we now get to see more of Late Night with Miss Piggy. So far, we've mainly just seen her interviews, plus a handful of musical performances and some of Fozzie's warm-ups. It's often mentioned that the show has sketches, but we never get to see them, we just occasionally hear about some of them. Maybe we could see characters rehearsing for the sketches (besides the writers acting out their own scripts), or see characters backstage getting ready to do a sketch (maybe we can just see them in costume and some of the props or set pieces).
Previous shows had characters overlapping between working backstage and on-stage, but on this show, it seems like each Muppet either works on-stage or as part of the crew. Though Fozzie did write a sketch in "Bear Left Then Bear Write", and Dr. Teeth mentioned writing a song the band performed in "Hostile Makeover". We should see more of the crew doing on-stage stuff every once in awhile, and also acts from characters who haven't been on the show (like Marvin Suggs and the Muppaphone, Bobby Benson's Baby Band, Wayne and Wanda...).
It seems like the last few episodes have had some changes already. The first few episodes each had several celebrities, one featured and others making cameos (if not being part of a sub plot). But these last few episodes have only had one guest star each (it also seems like Late Night with Miss Piggy only has one guest, and occasionally musical guests, per show... Is that how talk shows work?). It would also be great to see some episodes that don't really have celebrity guests. And the last few episodes have been more musical than the first two, hopefully this re-tool will allow even more musical numbers.
I'll need to look back at old articles and such to see which producer said what about the show. In Facebook comments somewhere, I had brought up that at Comic Con somebody said that the show is open to include any possible Muppet, while later reports said that certain characters who don't fit the format (chickens and talking foods are the only ones specifically listed as examples) likely won't appear, somebody pointed out that Kusner was the one who said that it won't have chickens or foods, and I think Prady was the one who said that any possible Muppet can be included. Maybe we'll start to see more characters who we thought wouldn't be included. I think it was also Prady who wanted to have the Muppets hang out at a bar when not doing the show, but we've only seen Rowlf's Tavern a few times. Maybe we'll see more of that place.
If the show does have more of the things that fans want from the show - more musical numbers, more show element, more characters (MORE ROWLF!) - would it be wrong to say that his departure was a blessing?
