I understand the complaints, and I feel it at times. But I still enjoy this show. This latest episode had loads of Muppety violence, which is always a pleasure.

Although the parts with Jason Bateman were pretty good, I had a problem with the plot of the episode before last:
If the electricity in the studio was gone, how did they manage to record the show?

I noted Miss Piggy was barely there.

Muppets return tonight, reportedly with some tweaks (from Zap2It):

“The Muppets” returns Tuesday to ABC after seven weeks off, with a new showrunner calling the shots and, reportedly, a somewhat brighter tone that will try to remind people why they liked the Muppets in the first place.

Ya know, I totally forgot about The Muppets in the last seven weeks. That's can't mean anything good for me...

I do have it set to record, but I won't watch it until tomorrow at lunchtime. I hope they've made it funnier and more musical.

I thought it was great although Kermit's love triangle was a bit hard to watch. I loved the song Kermit and Piggy did together.

I think I might have enjoyed last nights episode more than any other so far. It didn't feel like an altogether different show which I'm ok with but it was certainly a little different.

I'm going to stick around to see how the tweaks play out. And I too enjoyed the song Kermit and Piggy did together.

I'll continue with it until the end of its season (they're only doing a few more episodes), but I didn't feel this episode was substantially different from before. The song was nice, but I miss the weird production numbers the original show had, and the various skits like "Pigs in Space" and the like were segments I always looked forward to.

This is still primarily talk, and only mildly amusing talk at that. (I do like the shrimp character.)

Tonight's episode made me laugh more than the last two or three episodes combined. The whole notion of a Miss Piggy wardrobe malfunction is just hysterically funny to me.

Figures I'd miss a good one. My local channel decided to pre-empt The Muppets for election coverage.
