I’ll join in with the other commenters who are scratching their heads at the vitriol this show seems to be engendering. There are some rough edges, like an annoying amount of fat jokes directed at Miss Piggy and the whole break-up plot line, but it’s fun enough to keep coming back to it.

Yeah, it’s the opposite of terrible.

“I have an associates degree. I use a towel.” Am I missing something where this wasn't the best line on any show last week??

We grew up, how dare anything we loved as a child ever change! I always figure it takes half the first season for any show to find it’s voice and tone. We didn’t give it an episode before the internet rage built up. HOW DARE THEY BE IRREVERENT AND REALLY FOR ADULTS!!!! um...

Glad I’m not the only one around here who likes it. Makes me laugh and smile. Especially when Kermit told Josh Groban to, “get out of the way, dork”.

I have loved the muppets since I was little and I really like the new show. I didn’t realize it was “terrible”. I crack up every episode.

I agree. The core concept is the same, but updated to today.

I like the show too. Every episode has at least a few moment I find hilarious, they just need work on the through-lines that hold an episode together.

I’ve enjoyed it well enough so far. It’s not something I make a point to watch the night it’s on, especially with The Flash in the same time slot, but I keep it on my DVR and watch it on the weekend.

I like it too, quite a bit. It’s funny, fresh. Reminds me of the Muppets of old in some ways. The Electric Mayhem Band makes the show.

Anybody who doesn’t laugh at Swedish Chef Karaoke is dead inside.

Wait... what? My wife and I have watched all the episodes so far and think it’s freaking hilarious - as do pretty much everyone else we know who’s seen the show. Is the popular opinion that it’s bad? Why? All the celebrity cameos mixed in with modern-day humor seems to work perfectly IMO. If I had a single complaint…

I liked it. I can’t understand why io9 hates it so much.

Sexuality doesn’t have to be black and white man.

“It’s *like* she lost the will to live...”

That’s not exactly why she died. I think the film implies (or there are enough coincidental details that you can make a case for it) that she died because of some dark side shit.

I’m not a prequel apologist and I’m not defending the prequels,....but the way I interpreted the scene (spliced with Vader being constructed) was that Palpatine somehow siphoned her life to keep Vader alive. That was his secret to “keep people from dying” that he learned from his Sith master.

I feel like I’ve posted this here before but:

Boo because, while the 2009 reboot was enjoyable, it achieved its mass audience at the expense of

The previous stewards of Trek didn’t exacly bat 1000. TOS had it’s share of cheesy episodes. Next Gen took a good season to get in gear. I basically fast forward through DS9 until Sisko goes bald and gets a goatee. And Voyager and Enterprise both have a ton of issues. As far as the pre-reboot movies go, perhaps 4 out…

Four TV series, ten movies, NASA naming the Space Shuttle Enterprise and 50 years of being part of pop culture, but you think Star Trek didn’t reach the mainstream until the reboot movies? Seriously?
