Pilot was super low key but I appreciate that. It would have been worse if they tried for over the top funny. It has a chance to grow into something funny. The break up had real pathos to it too, I actually felt for these little puppets.

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

e: I mean seriously where is this hardcore edgy nympho Muppets show so I can watch it? These people are acting like someone filmed puppet erotica for late night television, the show was incredivlbly inoffensive in that respect. loving NCIS has more hardcore jokes.

This but I also loved the confrontation between Kermit and Josh Groban when Kermit tried to jump over him but failed miserably

"Did you forget that frogs can jump?!" *Thud

Also: "Bye bye." That was savage. I love it.

Fozzie and Piggy are both performed by Eric Jacobson so I'm guessing it's just easier for him to split up the performing of the characters, which I guess is currently why Fozzie is getting the short end of the stick story-wise. Like, obviously he could just dub over one of the characters if they shared a scene, but the actual physical performance of the character would probably be off. It is weirdly noticeable, because other Muppeteers are pulling double/triple/quadruple duty (at least voice-wise) in those groups scenes, but it's with less important characters. Jacobson is the only performer who does two of the main characters.

(Hi I've been obsessed with the Muppets for most of my life.)

Whitmire is Kermit/Beaker/Rizzo
Goelz is Gonzo/Bunsen
Jacobson is Fozzie/Piggie/Sam/Animal (pretty much all the Frank Oz characters)
Barreta is Pepe/Bobo/Big Mean Carl (my personal favorite so far on the show)

And that's only a fraction of the characters they're doing.

Jesus. I hope they have extra help, that work load is nuts.

I'm watching this on my DVR and this opening is great. "Decoy grudge" I love it

e: "Even God rested on Sunday." The dialogue's getting snappier every episode, I love it.

Oh my god, "True Colors." Take it like a man Fozzie

Piggy just brings out the worst in people, it's amazing.

"It's the only video North Korea is allowing its people to see!"

Oh my god, the way Kermit immediately tries to comfort her, this is simultaneously lovely and heartbreaking.

"I'm ready to bleep if they're not." Sam was always my favorite.

This is the best apology musical holy poo poo

No idea if this show will survive cancellation but as it is, I'm so happy that these episodes have improved so much. Gonzo is the best.

They were given a full season early for whatever reason, but I'm nervous about the reboot. It seems like this show took a little while to find itself but now that it has, it's going to become something else?

Fingers crossed that it doesn't get ruined. The Office and Parks and Rec both got retools after mediocre first seasons so maybe it'll be okay.

I should know better than to read comments, but now I'm going to share the pain with all of you.


Y'know, guys, maybe this show should just die. Maybe that's the right thing to do.


Beats me, that's all I've seen her credited with in any of the articles about this retooling which was the first warning sign to me.

Why this.

I'm invested in this show for Kermit/Piggy drama so while it keeps delivering on that, I'll keep watching. Other than that there just wasn't a ton of momentum here, what little they had built up has been negated.

Yeah I enjoyed this episode more than the last but post-retool its not really striking a chord with me.

I can't even explain why, really. I guess I don't feel like I get enough substance out of 22 minutes? Is it even 22 minutes? Feels like more commercial time than air time.

Nothing is really happening, they have a plot each episode but it isn't enough to fill the time.
