New Muppet Show
 

Well if all goes well we should have a new Muppet Show in the fall on ABC!

*arms flailing* Yay!!

Fozzie's getting a love interest and potential in-laws?! :o

Big Bang Theory writer?

F*ck no.

Yeah, I hate The Big Bang Theory, so I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Also don't really watch ABC, so I might just skip this one.

Another cash in reboot.
Really flippin' great.

Haha. I was excited about this news until I saw Bill Prady's name.

It's not a reboot. And the latest 2 muppet movies were awesome. Stop.

Hey, I LOVE BBT, so what's wrong with Prady? I say bring it on!! Also, if Kermit can have Piggy (an odd pair, to be sure) then by gum, Fozzy can get a gal, too! Which really just leaves Gonzo as the odd man out, unless you count the chicken..... (So, does he "choke his chicken"??)

Gonzo and Camilla are a couple. I remember one special in the 90's at Disneyworld where they're exploring and find the laundrymatt and Gonzo sings a song about how much fun it would be to make love in one...at the end of the song Gonzo and Camilla dives into a pile of clothes and she uh...screams his name. Seriously.

Then there's Muppet Wizard of Oz which focuses on their relationship and his love for her.

Yeah, that's a shame. Awful show.

What makes Big Bazoople Theory so appealing? Serious.

The most insulting thing my in-laws have ever said to me, or perhaps anyone ever, is that they thought Big Bang would be "right up my alley". Worst moment of my life.

Hope the old guys that make insults return.

I don't like Big Bang Theory but this is a totally different show. Comparing them based on writers doesn't make sense.

That's one of thing about nowadays. We see and know who makes tv and movies and assume things instead of taking them for what they are.

I'm sure none of us growing up watched stuff and thought...oh so-and-so is involved. Not a good sign.

BBT is horsesh*t. For one, it's just another formulaic multi cam show with terrible writing. My main beef with it is how stereotypical it is towards how "normal" people view "nerds". It's written for the lowest common denominator.

My opinions are right, too.

Here we go again with an argument about opinions.

If you take away the laugh track it's about a bunch of people bullying an autistic person.

I saw a few episodes of Big Bang Theory. I wasn't very impressed. None of the characters are very likable except Sheldon, who's treated like dirt by everyone else in the show.

I will admit though that every now and then they would made a joke that was almost funny.

It's not a reboot.

Sigh.

R-really? You liked them?

The first one I saw and I couldn't stand it. Songs were good but the comedy felt half-assed.

Maybe the second one was good, though I never bothered with it (the trailers looked promising, though).

I wonder what sorts of celebrity guests will be in this iteration. Kanye West? Jennifer Lawrence? Kim Kardashian? Guh, I'm getting sick just thinking about it.

Yeah. They were different, but I thought they were both great.

OMG, I forgot about that! But that's not the first Or last time it was ever implied they were a couple, but it's just- weird. She's barely a step above an animal. (NOT the character Animal....)

Are you talking about Muppet Vision 3D? I don't remember that.

No. It was a tv special called The Muppets At Walt Disney World. It aired in 1990.

Ok new info coming out. Seems that this show will be a docu-drama type ala The Office. It'll focus more on their personal lives outside the studio and be considered a more adult show. Im not sure if I want to see the personal lives....but I am curious about Gonzo/Camilla.

OOHHHH I can not wait for this!:o

I'll be down to check this out. I love The Muppets. You just can't deny their charm. I grew up watching reruns of the Muppet Show, the original Muppet movies and Muppet Babies. Even after all of these years I still went to see the new Muppet movies in theaters even though the first one was just ok and the second was really bad.

The celebrity cameos aspect of the new show will be uninteresting mostly because today's pop culture celebrities can't hold a candle to the pop culture celebrities from the original Muppet Show. Kind of bummed to see that new Muppet from the new movies on the show (he's so bland and forgettable that I can't even remember his name) but I guess that was to be expected. Hopefully he won't have a big role. Just give me lots of The Great Gonzo. He was always my favorite. Also, lots of Statler and Waldorf!

So some stuff revealed at Comic Con:

The main plot is that Piggy has her own late night talk show called Up Late With Miss Piggy. Fozzie is her side-kick, Kermit's exec Producer, Writers are Gonzo, Pepe, and Rizzo, Scooter's the talent coordinator, Bobo is Stage manager, Sam is head of broadcast standards (of course! :lol:), Denise (Kermit's girlfriend) is head of marketing.

Rowlf runs the bar across the street where the gang hangs out after work.

As for their personal lives. We know Fozzie's dating a human and Kermit's dating Denise but apparantly Gonzo's gonna try some online dating?!?! WTF?! So is he not with Camila anymore?! :ohwell:

So it sounds just like The Looney Tunes Show: take out all the things that made the show funny in the first place and replace it with soap opera drama.

Here it is... legally even. The 10 min pilot presentation shown to get the networks interested in doing a new Muppet show. ABC/Disney decided to put it online for all to see (there's even an explination at the start of it) And man is this totally hilarious. A bit odd hearing Kermit curse tho. Still... hilarious! :lol:

"We're screwed Gary":lol:

“Cut to interviews? That is just a totally overused devise to make easy jokes."

:Claps: Bravo, The Muppets, bravo. I hope that means they won’t abuse it like…every other show that's ever done it.

Bacon wrapped hell on earth :lol:

LOL at the muppet would didn't know where or who he was:lol::lol:

Can't wait for this.

New posters for the show have popped up. The Fozzie one is a bit disturbing IMO

I dunna, the Kermit the Frog one makes me groan. I think I know what Frank Oz meant when he came out negatively toward The Muppets years back

That's what DVR's, Hulu, and uh everything else is for.

A side of Sam the Eagle I never thought I'd ever see. Sam be getting down with his bad self yo! Jungle Boogie!! :lol:

Well it's now Hollywoody official. Kermit and Piggy have broken up... :o

Peter and MJ. Lois and Clark. Now Kermit and Piggy.

What a crock of sh*t. You know the writers are a bunch of miserable dicks when they can't even allow fictional characters to have happy, healthy, stable relationships.

The lists of celebs appearing on the new Muppet show has begun to come out! Looks like Nathan Fillian, Imagine Dragons, Reese Witherspoon, and Kerry Washington.

And also possibly Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Gaiman, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ming Na (she and Kermit seemed rather chummy in some tweets), Emmy Rossum, Alan Cumming, Marc Jacobs, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Wonder if Piggy will discover where Nathan Fillian's hammer is? ;)
