The Muppets Take Over ABC Network!

 

Greetings All!  As promised,  Moo Cowvin here delivering to you my review of the The Muppets.

The long awaited modernized version of The Muppets finally revealed itself to us last Tuesday September 22nd 2015 and it definitely didn't disappoint.  With its "Office" TV show like feel, The Muppets give us a "show-within-a show" presence with a single camera - documentary style of filming.  The series is its first ongoing prime-time network television series since Muppets Tonight aired in 1998. 




Set in Los Angeles, we are following the everyday personal and professional lives of the Muppets as we enter the world of Miss Piggy as a fictional late night talk show host with all the other Muppets that work with and for her.  I love this concept of a female late night host, as I've been saying for years that  there needs to be one.  Never mind that this cow loves the ladies, its just refreshing to see this role of a late night host not be another male.  Let's see how well she does.






Last week's episode also marks the anticipated moment we met Denise, who happens to be Kermit's new girlfriend and also Head of Marketing on Up Late with Miss Piggy.  Kermit has been quoted that they met and hit it off because she was one of the people who had the idea for the Muppets to do a new show.  Kermit also admits he's got without a doubt,  "a thing for pigs because he finds their curly tails attractive."  I couldn't agree more...Denise is HOTTT!!! I don't know how Kermit does it--first a blonde haired pig and not a reddish-brown one! Damn he's lucky!!! So want to see where this relationship goes!




As we dig deeper into the episode, we find out what brought Miss Piggy and Kermit to their break up and why Miss Piggy didn't want Elizabeth Banks on her show. Bank's appearance also marks the beginning of many guest stars to appear, which will also make watching The Muppets even more enjoyable.  Just like  watching Tom Bergeron get excited when he was to fill a guest spot on Miss Piggy's show.














And finally, an issue that was raised on the show, that I find very serious and must be discussed more....Bears dating.  Its hard finding someone out there to begin with--heck its hard for me and I'm a cow! I can't imagine what Fozzie  Bear must be going through.   You hear a lot in the news, bears invading others backyards and diving in pools.  They get a bad rap! However for Fozzie's on screen girlfriend played by Riki Lindhome she is willing to see beyond all that. 


I really thought it was cool that The Muppets went back to their roots and are hitting their target audience of 18 and older.  There aren't any inappropriate elements to the show, so kids younger can watch, but its definitely catering toward everyday experiences adults face, without being too awkward for children.

Okay guys, tonight-- 8am-Easter Standard time--another episode of The Muppets---Don't miss it!

I'm outta hea!
