Clappy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Coming this fall to ABC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIdJLz_4C34 The trailer is fantastic and as a fan of The Muppets, I will definitely be tuning in for this show to give it a shot at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Holy shit that was hillarious. I actually have a reason to watch broadcast television now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less_SpongeBob Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 At least this breaks the notion that the Muppets are only for kids now. I'll take a peek at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Nug Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This is so great, glad the Muppets finally have a show again instead of random cameos on Disney Channel sitcoms. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.V.I.L. Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This looks kind of cool. I've never watched the Muppets but I probably could find enjoyment in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverGreen Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The Muppets have never been solely for kids. You actually have a point there, because believe it or not, the Muppets (or at least a VERSION of them) appeared on "Saturday Night Live" as 'cast-members' in its very first season (1975-1976).

It wasn't actually The Muppets, it was just some Jim Henson puppets. They pulled out because Jim thought SML was too adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegiSpongie Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Apparently, news is that Kermit and Miss Piggy have broken up. Could it be real or just something to promote the new show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illiniguy34 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 One of friends, who's a huge Muppets fan, showed me this and he said he was skeptical. I am too, as this could either be awesome like the Muppets are 99% of the time.....OR this just ends up like "The Looney Tunes Show". Hopefully it's the former!

Considering how meta the show seems to be I'd assume it's both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clappy Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wumbo's status update and seeing people talk about it on the XAT. Figured I'd bump this for everyone who didn't already know that the show debuts tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Okay the high definition, Fozzie Bear driving a car, the joke about how they couldn't swear and the sort of show within a show were good. Not sure if the humor or plots will be good enough for the show to last, but I'll keep watching it for a few more episodes. I'm kinda sad that the actual Muppets show doesn't exist in their world and instead it's Ms. Piggy's talk show. I dunno, I mean I can handle Ms. Piggy but her attitude gets annoying after a while. Especially if she's the main focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yeah the pacing felt really off during the pilot. I don't know if they had to cut scenes to make the run time but the beginning felt very rushed. I get that we are suppose to know who The Muppets are by now and the concept of it being a show within a show, but they should have slowed it down somewhat to let us know more. The jokes were funny though especially the entire subplot with Fozzie and his girlfriend's parents. The father especially stole every scene he was in. I'll probably still tune in for a few more episodes for it to really win me over, but for a pilot, it wasn't that bad. Just confused at times with what direction they were trying to go in. Oh and Elizabeth Banks interactions with Scooter were amazing too btw. More scene stealing guest stars, the better (although I could have done without Imagine Dragons unless they have more musical acts at the end as a homage to The Muppet Show).

terminoob Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 This was adequate enough. I'll keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70s Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I thought it was okay. I don't have high expectations for pilots and I'm curious enough about where it'll go to watch more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Car Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A pretty decent pilot. I'll give it a few more episodes to gauge how much I'll really enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
