Rip Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Anyone watch the first episode? Thoughts? I for one thought it was hilarious and I'm really looking forward to future episodes. I know a lot of people are kind of put-off by the "Office/Parks and Rec type filming" and the "adult humor with Muppets" but I thought it was great.

DecayToDeath Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'll keep with it until it gets worse. The whole "behind the scenes of a show" thing gave me a 30 Rock vibe, especially with Piggy being kinda like a worse Jenna Maroney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No This Is Patrick Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I remember when it was first teased and I thought it would be interesting. Had "The Office" appearance and I absolutely loved that show (until Carell left). But I also had a get feeling that it could tank. After watching it, I thought it was a good show, very "Office" vibed. But I also agree with some reviews on it, I was thinking it'd be more... kid friendly? And I don't mean like a cartoon show, but some of the "adult" humor was kinda weird to hear from some beloved childhood characters. I don't know. Overall: it has potential but it can also go downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'll keep with it until it gets worse. The whole "behind the scenes of a show" thing gave me a 30 Rock vibe, especially with Piggy being kinda like a worse Jenna Maroney. My word for word description of the show to a friend who missed the first episode: "it's almost exactly 30 Rock but with muppets." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGreenOne77 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 My wife and I were laughing our asses off. Not sure why so many people are uptight about it's emotional dealings, it's on at 8pm, so it's not a children's aimed program. Either way I am really impressed with the way they handled it all, and it's nice they worked every character back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Did any of you watch the Original Muppets show? or back when they appeared on SNL? Adult humor is not new for them.... holland623 and diabretic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGreenOne77 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Did any of you watch the Original Muppets show? or back when they appeared on SNL? Adult humor is not new for them.... I grew up watching it when I was a kid. When Muppet babies came along I was always like "where the hell did skeeter come from? She's never been in the other show!"

Snaggle Von Swift Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I really enjoyed it, but don't know how confident I feel about it staying so good through a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Jenna Maroney was kind of based on Miss Piggy, it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 As a huge Muppets fan, I like the show but I think it would benefit from being a little less up front with the adult humor. Part of what is great about the Muppets is their universality. It has always been clever with the mature humor and I feel a little like they're trying too hard to compete with Family Guy in the era of "adult children's television" Either way, it's good. I was stoked to see Riki Lindhome in the first episode, she's hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthemforadoomed Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Now that I've seen every episode, I'd like to retract my original statement, I think they do a good job at balancing the humor. The first episode is a little heavy handed but it's perfect after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
