Review of The Muppets
30 minutes
“The Muppets” return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show. For the first time ever, a series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires. This is a more adult Muppet show, for “kids” of all ages.

Nostalgia compelled me to give this show a chance, but the reality show format drove me away. Every time the muppets gave their little interviews and spoke directly into the camera it knocked on the fourth wall without adding anything at all to the humor of the show. To be honest, my dislike for Miss Piggy probably contributed to my dislike for the remake, as she is one of the major characters, but I still think the format was the problem.
