[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6754390, member: 177"] Yes, at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California I suppose it might, but I suspect it is more an artistic choice thing. While one of the creators of the new show does have Muppet experience (on Fraggle Rock, and several other projects), it seems very much like they are taking their cues for The Muppets from Big Bang Theory, of which I am also not a fan. BBT makes many, many references to geek/nerd culture, but it does not do so lovingly. When I watch Galaxy Quest, for example, I get the idea that I'm watching a sendup of a thing made by people who love that thing. BBT does not give me that feeling. The Muppets comes across to me similarly - The Muppets are being used to do sendup of the late-nite formula, and modern celebrity in general, but the result is disrespectful not only to the things they are sending up, but to the Muppet characters themselves.
