I should state right up front that this is a different Muppets than you remember. Consider this when deciding to watch with your little ones. But that's not to say you shouldn't.
Our lovable Muppets all look the same. But they are no longer child-like in nature. This group is a bit jaded. They've loved, lost. Facing the problems that many who grew up with the original are currently coping with. You'll certainly identify with one or more storylines.
The show centers around a late night talk show similar to The Tonight Show/Kimmel/Colbert but hosted by a self centered Miss Piggy. Kermit serves as the executive producer and the rest of the crew are pretty much that...crew.
The funniest material is a tiny bit blue however, fortunately it goes right over my 9 yr olds head. I almost aborted before episode 1 ended. I'm glad I didn't. Very interesting reimagining of a tired franchise. Would love more episodes but think they need to re-market this. I'm sure many parents who grew up in the 70's and 80's excitedly tuned in with their children but never stuck around past episode 1.
They need to tone it back a notch so parents don't have to pre-watch, fearing one of their subtle but sexual innuendos is embarrassingly decoded on my living room floor. Almost a great show.
