Way off topic: Muppets

Post by Kealia »

Yes, I watched it last night. I grew up watching them and had to see what this reboot was going to be like.

There were a few times that I chuckled as some of the writing was very clever but I couldn't get over how different the voices sounded to me. Yes, it's new people doing them and for the most part I think they nailed the mannerisms, speech patterns and nuances of how they spoke - but they just sounded really different to me and I'm hung up on that.

Yes, I'm still a child at heart.

Anybody else check it out?

Saw it, and enjoyed it. Love the late night premise. Sam is really the only one that threw me off.

I totally forgot there was a muppet reboot going on.

The last muppets I watched were these.. which were not anything like old muppets LOL. But they were The Jim Henson Company's creations.

I was excited to hear about the reboot. Then disgusted that they made Kermit dump Ms. Piggy to have an affair. So I'm passing on it... Yes, I am a child of the late 70s, early 80s. :)

DVR'd but haven't watched yet. Promos made me smile and brought back memories of the original. I know what you mean about the voices, as they were a bit different in the latest movies as well. Going to try to set that aside when I watch it.

Damn it!!! I missed this AND I missed the season premier of "The Big Bang Theory"!
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

Kind of liked it, more geared toward the generation that grew up with the original Muppets but not so much kid friendly as it is adult freindly now.

I watched it on On Demand after seeing this post. I found it interesting but a little flat. I did like that it had nastalgic tone to it but it was just a little unfamiliar. I will keep an eye on it but I don't know that it will be in my regular rotation of must watch TV.

I guess the 1 million moms missed the little muppet in the picture I posted. He would have pissed them off. (the whole show would likely have pissed them off). Weird scifi must run under their radar.
