How The Hell Did They Screw Up The Muppets So Badly?
- Thread starter Mark Wein
- Start date
Well, there was the feminist outrage because Kermit had dumped Ms Piggy and found himself a younger pig to date. I saw that a few weeks ago.
Now there is a group called "One Million Moms" who is protesting the show but I can't tell if they're serious or not: http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovemen...rns_new_muppets_tv_show_isn_t_family_friendly

EH, I watched. I am a huge Muppet fan since I was 5 and the first Sesame street episode aired.
I liked it fine. I wish it was a little bit more of "my" version of the Muppets, but even the last couple of movies seemed a little thin compared to what I knew before.
The original guys behind the cast were so talented that the new guys are good, but just seem a step off. If you know what I mean.
Still as funny as anything on that I have seen lately.

Yep.
Wow. Makes me not want to watch it. And as a teen in the late 70's who found the late 70's TV show hilarious, I love the muppets.
It was on here while I was in the room but I didn't really pay any attention to it.
I did hear a while ago that it was never intended to be for kids. My daughter wanted to DVR it for the grand kids and I told her not to show it to them.

Fuck Miss Piggy. She was a manipulative bitch back then, too.
The type of women who see her as some kind of role model are no different from men who modeled themselves after Gordon Gecko.

I had no use for dysfunctional Lucy (and Desi) either.

I watched it.
It's nowhere near what the negative reviews have said. Little different because they are focusing on the backstage stuff much more than the skits, but I liked it.

You don't deserve koa.
Judging a show based on its series premiere is stupid, pure and simple. A weak premiere is characteristic of many shows that evolve into classics. Of course, it's also true of the worst shows ever... So let's reassess in a few weeks.

It wasn't Gonzo so much as those poor chickens.

Rape scenes should always be difficult to watch.
But the Beauregard that I grew up with would never have done that.

The unflinching camera work didn't make it any easier, nor did the later reveal that Sam the Eagle had been watching the whole thing on CCTV.
