My favorite part of the show was when Kermit tried to jump over Josh Groban.

No Whammies!!
I laughed out loud a lot more the 2nd episode. I think I'll start recording this.

Fozzie is their version of Marie from Breaking Bad.

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.

Nobody believes me when I say this, but you could get away with A LOT more in "PG" (and even "G") rated entertainment back in the 70's than today. Planet of the Apes (actually 1968) was rated G:

Planet Of The Apes (1968)|Rated G

Violence: C Spaceship crash lands in water. Aged but preserved dead body shown. Armed apes shoot at people, catch them in nets, hit them, and chase some over a small cliff, others into a pit. Men injured when falling off cliff. Man shot and killed. Man shot in throat, blood shown. Dead men’s bodies shown hanging by their feet or in piles on ground. Man with hands and feet bound to pole is carried to caged cart, man fights off other people who are trying to restrain him, burning torch is used to threaten a man on several occasions, apes control unruly behavior by capturing the offending man using a long pole with noose on the end or beating them back with a club. Man clubs ape in escape attempt, apes chase, throw rocks, whip him, and try to capture him with throat hooks and nets. Stuffed human bodies shown in a taxidermy museum display. People sprayed with water, man is leashed, man is bound, clubbed and netted, man threatened with prospect of having experimental brain surgery performed, ape knocked unconscious during kidnapping, weapons distributed, gun fight results in ape being shot and killed, another held hostage, rebellious teen expresses lack of trust for elders.

Sexual Content: C- Male rear nudity shown when characters skinny dip, male and female characters dress in scanty primitive clothing, woman presented to man as present, ape characters touch their mouths together in an affectionate kiss and hold hands on several occasions, man shown sleeping beside a woman (no sexual inference is made), man comments on a world with "lots of lovemaking but no love," man is disrobed causing humiliation and male rear nudity is shown, talk of emasculating a man.

The angry people who are mad at the mullets show should be shown OG Muppet clips lol.

Jim Henson wanted this!nikka didn't want kiddie muppets! Us grown folks like silly fukkery too!

I was just looking for old Muppets clips on youtube. The original 1950's version of Kermit would MURDER you over some coffee:


:dead:
