I feel embarrassed for the Muppets. I feel embarrassed for the extremely talented Muppet performers who for years have brought these wonderful characters to life, and done so many great bits of comedy.
Now they are reduced to doing a weak sitcom with inappropriate and mostly unfunny situations.
Tonight Kermit has to buy a gift for his new girlfriend (a completely unfunny and undeveloped character. What is unique about her? Anything?) so he does the one thing the real Kermit would never do: ask Miss Piggy for help finding her a gift. Does this make sense on any level to anyone? Kermit would not 1. dare risk the wrath of Piggy or 2. dare risk hurting Piggy by asking her to do this. Totally out of character.
The B story wastes guest star Kristen Chenoweth as she goes off with the band. More inappropriate humor ensues. There is even a fight between Dr. Teeth and Floyd. Very few laughs.
Jim Henson has to be rolling over in his grave to see how they are ruining his classic creation.
