Mind you, I'm not yelling at you or anything. Just venting about the show.
NP! In fact, I believe you have made many a comment in which I agree with
It's not that they're mad at Janice for having a life. I think that's the concern I'm sensing from you (correct me if I'm wrong). It would be more accurate to say people are getting up in arms because Janice and Floyd aren't together. And I can understand why.
See, I actually
can't understand why.
Not in a "how could you all see J+F anyway?" but in a...they have a better reason to be out of a relationship than K+P do.
See, Janice and Floyd were different from K+P because they seemed to be buddies as well as a couple (with Richard and Jerry being close friends and their characters often teaming up). So if they're not together, I think it does hit harder than just a standard romantic break up.
That's my point - Floyd and Janice ARE friends, so the two of them being together/not being together makes sense to me. And, something that I've noticed in this new show and have pointed out, I don't think Kermit and Piggy ever WERE friends, which makes their back and forths so...contentious.
I see it like this - Jance and Floyd are like Ted and Robin from How I Met Your Mother. They dated in the beginning, became friends, dated each other again, dated other people, and if you watched that show (or had the internet during their series finale) you know what happens. Ted and Robin always cared about each other and were very much okay being either friends or dating (only got contentious when Ted tried to get married the first time and Robin actually did), but in the end...again, if you watch the show, you know what happened.
Kermit and Piggy are like...well, you know what, they're Barney and Robin. When they work, it's fantastic; when they don't, it doesn't work out.
Now, while I'm not onboard the good ship Kernise, I do think that's a good relationship for him and Piggy; I really would like to see this as a growing experience for both, where maybe they are just friends and aren't dating anyone for a bit and then they start getting closer to each other and have a much better relationship than they did before (FINGERS CROSSED!)
I'm more worried about K+P than J+F, to make a long story short. Neither of them hold grudges and obviously, they've been together and been apart before, so I'm not so worried about their ship sinking anytime soon; it's just parked at the dock for a little bit.
Not everyone can live at sea forever at a time
