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

Quote:

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed “The Big Bang Theory” co-creator Bill Prady is co-writing the script for a pilot presentation to be shown in May to advertisers. If everyone likes what they see, ABC is expected to give a straight-to-series order.
*arms flailing* Yay!!

Quote:

Initial reports suggest that, like the TV series that aired in syndication from 1976 to 1981, the pilot will be a comedy-variety series featuring celebrity cameos. It’s also expected to introduce new characters, including Fozzie’s girlfriend and her parents
Fozzie's getting a love interest and potential in-laws?! :o

Big Bang Theory writer?

F*ck no.

BubblyShell22 04-03-2015 03:50 PM

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.

Mew 04-03-2015 04:34 PM

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.

What makes Big Bazoople Theory so appealing? Serious.

Peanut 04-04-2015 02:56 AM

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.

Wildcat 04-04-2015 05:55 AM

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.

TheSkeletonMan939 04-04-2015 09:12 AM

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.

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.
