[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6751344, member: 1125"] This is the big issue for me too, the original was a great variety show of behind the scenes action and on stage performance that showcased the muppets in their world 'living' up to their essential purpose as performers. The new show loses the balance and also expects me to suspend disbelief enough to accept the muppets as living in the 'real world' and I can't do it:( not to mention that this 'real' world is - as Umbran points out - a very cynical and meanspiritted one. That was my fear when they started the promotion of Kermit and Piggy's celebrity break up and is probably why I have been avoiding the show (the only reason I watched the last episode was because it's screening in the slot before Supergirl) [/QUOTE]
