Want something a bit different? Try The Ultimates, by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch.

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.

THANK you. even the original show got bad reviews when it started.

It’s simple.

Also with you. I don’t get the hate from io9. I watch it with a friend every week and we’ve been loving it. I grew up with the Muppets and think they’re doing some really fun stuff with the show.

“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??

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.

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.
