The Muppet Show

And I really don't understand the people who think the Muppets didn't have an adult angle back in the day.

No kidding!

I thought the Muppets was actually quite good. They were definitely in the humor vein of 30 Rock and The Office more than the original Muppet Show. But I thought it worked pretty well and expanded on some of the characters without contradicting what they stood for. People forget that one of Jim Henson's passions was adult puppetry and there have always been adult humor aspects of the Muppets as well as content directed at children.

No, I didn't forget those things. I just thought The Muppets did not remotely capture either what made the original show great, very much including its style of more adult-facing humour, or the things that separately make 30 Rock and The Office great. It did not work for me, on any level, but I'm glad you liked it.
