I loved The Muppets as a kid. I am not thrilled about the idea of crossing The Muppet Show with The Office.
Seems dumb. And that kind of camerawork needs to be retired. Causes me a headache.

For me, The Office and Parks & Rec are two of my favorite recent comedies. That style doesn't bother me at all and I think it could work well for the Muppets.
We'll see... Gotta watch it first before I judge. Give it a chance @C.C. 95

Of course! It IS the Muppets!

This first episode for me was just ok. I thought some stuff was really funny, and then other things just didn't work at all.
I'm going to keep watching, but I just hope it improves week to week.

Anybody else catch this tonight?

I watched it, and it definitely funny at parts. It's more the characters antics that are funny to me, though.

I found it an interesting format for the show to take, having not read anything on what the new show was going to be like I was kinda surprised.
The first episode was ok, nothing special though. I will probably continue to watch (for at least 1 season) it and see how it goes, I never judge an entire show after just one episode.

I kind of wish this was behind the scenes on was The Muppet Show. Not the Miss Piggy Show.

minor detail i know... but I always loved the SNL/Variety Show feel to the original muppets. Allows the other characters to have more things to do.

This last episode had me almost peeing my pants from laughter.
