As someone that grew up with the Muppets and loved them just as enthusiastically through adulthood I found the show to be a breath of fresh air. I was laughing out loud within the first few minutes and that's something I haven't done with any 'comedy' show in a very very long time. There's something about seeing all my favorites on the air again that makes me feel like a kid again, but the adult humor (and I mean that in a sort of mild way, because it's not remotely what I would personally consider raunchy) kept it fresh and suited for the adults as well. The more adult humor was there, yes, but as innuendo. In my opinion it's always been there, subtly under the banter only now it's more noticeable for those of us that want to see it. And those instances were scattered.
Was it flawless? No, but it's the Muppets and I for one am more than grateful to ABC for giving them new life because I missed them with all my heart.

The background shenanigans of Miss Piggy's show that's produced by Kermit.
Packed with gags and celebs, the personalities and voices are thankfully on point. The backstage set up works perfectly and the Muppets are always centre stage, where they should be.
Each episode gets better and better the Christmas one is particularly notable -every fun episode is sharp, witty and visually interesting.
All the main character's return, including Scooter and Rolf (the late Jim Henson usually voiced/puppeteered) and they have been omitted or reduced to appearing briefly in the past, it nice to see the characters back in full swing
Highly recommend.

Fun little series. Smart writing and subtle humour. A shame there's only one series as it has good potential. Existing fans can enjoy it whilst it could also introduce new viewers to the muppets in a format and style relevant to current times.
Definitely worth a watch!
First of all, this is a show for a VERY niche audience: people that love the Muppets, but won't feel like their childhood is ruined if they do some dirty jokes. It's also not necessarily as family friendly as the other Muppet shows, but it's not...Avenue Q. Kids might just not like it because they won't get the jokes, but it's not super raunchy or anything. Basically, I'd feel more comfortable letting a kid watch this than something like "Family Guy."
Basically, Miss Piggy has her own late-night talk show, and her ex-boyfriend Kermit is the producer, with all the other Muppets working on the show in some form or fashion. It's filmed mocumentary style, like The Office or Modern Family, which works...okay? Tbh, you could've just filmed this show normally and it would've been fine.
The jokes are all very modern and have to do a lot with topics like micro-aggression, office politics, relationships, gender, sexuality, and even drug use. My favorite being a little nod to the members of The Electric Mayhem being "medically happy" and buying all of Bobo's GirlScout cookies.
I basically went in expecting the worst thing in the world, but it was actually pretty good! But don't get me wrong, I totally see why this was canceled. This is just a very odd combination of material. It's weird seeing Kermit and Piggy have real relationship conversations, it's weird when the show alludes to Bunsen and Beaker possibly spending the night together, and it's weird watching Piggy make-out with Josh Groban. Like, I dig it ALL, but it's also just plain weird.
I gotta throw out my favorite line of the whole show, however, and it is this: Fozzie: "Kermit, have you ever been hit with a tranquilizer?" Kermit: "No, but I once licked my third cousin and the walls started melting, so I feel you, bro."

Growning up with sesame street, and the Muppet show and then the series of movies.I still have a love for them after even 40 years. I now share them with my own family now. As as you will about them.But they still have the same feeling as they gave me back in the 1970's TV Muppet Show. As they said sesame street was for children, but the Muppet's where for adult..I love them and happy to see them om air once again. How can you given a bad review of awful, when they just as they were many years ago? The worse part of Muppet history was when Disney bought their rights. Oher then that, i can watch them after all these years. Japan translated their 70's show in to Japanese, that alone showed even in japan they had a fan base.........AND THEY STILL DO...... Update....there are people that are mixing in up The children's network with the Muppets ...... Sesame Street was for learning...Muppet's where Not for children....they for adults.....people doesn't know this. And are comparing the two as same. Also, the old Muppet's where just as assaulted at times and this version is........So before you start something righteous reviews, understand your mutt the history and how involved before you look like a complete idiot. Thanks for reading
