The Muppets (2015) appreciation thread

So before this week the only thing I knew about the muppets 2015 was that

a) it was cancelled after 1 season

b) it was a mockumentary style show

Even though I'm a big Muppet fan that was enough for me to stay away until after I finished every tv show/movie in existence due to quarantine. And I gotta tell you, it's not bad. Id even dare to say, good.

The muppet gang is all there and bursting with charisma and the characters work really well together. Having a lot of the season center around Miss Piggy becoming a better person is great and they don't really make a big deal of it either, it just kinda happens. Pairing Gonzo up with Rizzo and Pepe rather then the other main characters was also a good call, allowing him to have more scenes and characterization. Unexpectedly a lot of the laughs came from Janice, which is a character I normally don't like. Fozzie had a girlfriend!!

Shame this got cancelled and soiled the brand past recovery. That new Elmo show coming out would've been much better with the Muppets
