The Muppets SPOILER Thread

[MuppetSpot]

Here's the official plot for "Swine Song" :
The whole crew just returned from hiatus, and everyone is rested, recharged and ready to get back to work. But when a new branding guru (Utkarsh Ambudkar ) comes in to revamp "Up Late,” the gang rallies together and realizes that they don’t need gimmicks and hijinks; they just need each other and a couple of familiar tunes to get them back on track

Well that explains Piggy's makeover.

Somebody said that they thought they saw Walter in one promo, though it's been said that it's still up in the air whether he will appear on the show, but when I saw that promo, particularly freeze-framed before I clicked to watch it, I saw Lew Zealand from behind and at first thought it was Walter. I wonder if the person who thought he/she saw Walter just saw Lew.

I also thought it might be Walter on first glance. Had to rewatch it to check.

Toughpigs posted some stills of the next episode.

It sounds promising and more in line with a Muppet show plotline. I'm mixed about the producers here being humans, I'll admit. Other than that I hope they give ample time to Key and Peele. The Muppets and two of the best sketch comedians today? Sounds like a winning combination.

They are really trying to bring back "The Muppet Show", I feel. Familiar tunes, Vet's hospital, old characters...I am liking this...

They seem to be incorporating the show's retooling in-universe. Now that's a nice touch.

This was covered a few pages back.

Freaked out, no. Curious? You bet.

i think the penguin puppet looks more like a puffin to me

To me it looks like Puppet Heap was trying to make a Happy Feet penguin puppet.
