This was fire.

Can't believe all the people crying over FB and Twitter saying "This isn't the show I wanted. I was looking forward to watching it with my kids. Bring back the old show". Fukk that.

Those same people haven't seen a Muppets related show in almost 40 years and have no cluse that this is almost exactly like the Henson Muppets, only no singing.

Edit: Wait, where's Rowlf?

It was more adult oriented than i expected, but some of the parts were pretty funny. I think i laughed the most when they were like " did anyone tell tom bergeron he's not on the show" and they cut to Tom " i just found out" . Also Ms Piggy doing the screen test for the Hunger Games was funny too.

All of this. The muppets were always throwing in "adult" humor - both the show and the early movies.

And the homies Statler and Waldorf back with that new, 2015 ether

After a second watch, this show is legitimately hilarious

One Million Moms Targets ABC's 'Perverted' 'Muppets' - Spinoff Online - TV, Film, and Entertainment News Daily

Urging Disney and ABC to drop “The Muppets,” the conservative Christian initiative One Million Moms has issued a bulletin warning parents of the mockumentary-style revival’s “perverted nature.”

“ABC has ruined ‘The Muppets,'” the group states.

Premiering last night on ABC, the half-hour comedy focuses on the everyday lives of Jim Henson’s beloved creations as they produce the fictional late-night talk show “Up Late With Miss Piggy.”

“The mature version of ‘The Muppets’ will cover a range of topics from sex to drugs,” One Million Moms cautions. “Miss Piggy came out as a pro-choice feminist during an MSNBC interview. The puppet characters loved by kids in the 1970s and 1980s and beyond are now weighing in on abortion and promiscuity.”

These idiots have obviously never seen the OG Muppet Show or any of their movies pre-1990. fukking Facebook dumbshyts. I hate when people use their "take a stand" moment in such a useless way.

It's a moms group. They target any and everything for their cause. I ain't mad at them but I also know what they target doesn't effect me one bit

I'm surprised because the 10 minute preview they released a month ago wasn't anything like today's show. They kept a few similar jokes in but it wasn't the storyline that tonight's pilot was. They dove right in to the basis of the show with this pilot.

I enjoyed it. I hope it doesn't get clobbered by Scream Queens.

Scream Queens really did numbers like that?

I watched it with my 3yr old son wasn't anything that crazy in it that kids would pick up on these same whiners when they were kids were probably watching Animaniacs and Tiny Toons the cartoons we grew up on had over the top sexual/racist jokes now everybody is so pussified

Awesome. Just another reminder for me that what's hot on social media ain't necessarily what's doing numbers in the streets.
