I'm not saying the pilot was bad or anything, just too much. About 1/3 funny or good, 1/3 crap, and 1/3 just plain messed up. For a prime time sitcom, it isn't bad in a sense of some humor and randomness but there was just so much thrown into one episode. The whole Fozzy Bear and his girlfriend thing should have been one topic for one show and not thrown in with Kermit's and Miss Piggy's drama over the break-up and all. Plus now Kermit is dating another pig and the whole Elizabeth banks thing was just over the top stupid!
I could have lived with that a bit, but what really got me was the script. The script was a show aimed for purely an audience of 13-25 year olds when what we really needed was a script understandable for kids under 13 and the general adult fan base who originally grew up with the Muppets. What I am saying is that the script was very inappropriate for the Muppets. I still see potential in the show, but they really need to get things straight on who the main audience really is and what they really want to see.
