ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

stereo_1999 I was expecting a family friendly funny show and this not only isn't family friendly but it isn't even funny. They used the style that "The Office" used were they talk to a camera for a few seconds which I find to be horrible cinematography and story telling. The adult relationships between the characters makes it more like a bad soap opera than something I would want to watch.I did however like seeing some of the new generation of guests on the show. I Elizabeth Banks, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Groban,Imagine Dragons, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Kristin Chenoweth. The only problem is stars old and new can't be the only reason to watch this show. The Muppet Show of old never relied solely on the guests they brought on. I got to the tenth episode and just couldn't keep watching anymore since I felt like I was wasting my life doing so.

Fred White Once again, I look forward to a new show only to be disappointed by someone's new take of a classic (my last disappointment was Hawaii Five-O). I don't mind things being updated, but when writers screw with things that worked well like the most recent Muppet films, it's hard to take notice how bad it is.First, The Muppets had a clean humor that appealed to every range. The humor in this show appeals more to the 18-34 crowd only.Second, they are not mimicking a style that fresh. It's a style that has been done for about 10 years or so and it's even old now. If they wanted to do something that fit The Muppets more, they should have looked at the movies and then Glee, rather than Modern Family.Third, they use guest stars poorly. They most always play themselves. You should have a big name play some whacky character that you would not expect him/her play.That pretty much covers it. It's seems like a show with no identity or originality.

Wizard-8 Several weeks back, I caught the first episode of this new series. I was pretty let down by the results. But I decided to stick with it for a little while, seeing that sometimes it takes a few episodes for a show to find its groove, and because my love for the Muppets goes way back to when I was a child.I've now seen several more episodes, and to be quite frank, the show doesn't seem to have improved. One of the big problems with the show is that the Muppets on this show don't seem like the Muppets that we once knew. Kermit is now a spineless wimp. Miss Piggy is very mean- spirited and without a vulnerable side. Fozzie Bear now has a human girlfriend, and it's hinted he has sex with her.That last observation about Fozzie Bear brings up another problem with the show - trying to have an adult "edge". I can't speak for everyone, but I think the show's attempts at adult innuendo is, well, both wrong and weird. References to drugs, sex, alcohol, and other such topics seem out of place for these characters. I can understand wanting to appeal to adults, but the ironic thing is that the original Muppet show back in the 1970s appealed to both kids AND adults even though it was squeaky clean. Actually, I might have accepted the more adult tone and the changed characters had the show been funny, but it isn't. While I have occasionally laughed at one of this show's gags, most of the attempts at humor have been lame and obvious. One reason for this may be that the show is more cynical in nature and seems reluctant to have the joy and innocence the original show had. The downbeat nature makes it hard for the writers (or audience) to have any fun.Worst of all, my favorite Muppet, Rowlf, has been demoted to a bit part! Anyway, as I said in my summary line, this show is a real disappointment. I won't be surprised if it's cancelled at the end of the season.

John Tester I watched the first three episodes and got nothing but disappointment, one after another. The creators of this series managed to take one of the best shows ever and make something not worth watching. This has absolutely nothing to do with the original series. It has no true sense of humor in it. It is just full of sexual innuendos. And that even is not anywhere close to being funny. Certainly not fit for kids under 15. The muppets voices are mediocre, the scenario and direction all fall short compared to the original show. If you want your kids to watch something really good, just let them watch the original show or the movies. There is simply no comparison.
