The Muppets (2015)	comment	The Muppets (stylized as the muppets.) was a live-action series co-created by Bill Prady and Bob Kushell, based on the famous characters created by Jim Henson, premiering on ABC on September 22, 2015, and ending March 1, 2016. It is The Muppets' first full-fledged TV series since Muppets Tonight on the same channel nearly 20 years prior.Like all of the previous Muppet TV series, The Muppets is a Show Within a Show, set behind the scenes of a talk show hosted by Miss Piggy that airs on ABC after Jimmy Kimmel Live! (in-universe). Like fellow workplace sitcoms The Office and Parks and Recreation, it is a single camera mockumentary, featuring cutaway interviews with the Muppets to glean insights about their personal lives and triumphs and disappointments. Essentially, it's "a more adult Muppet show—for children of all ages."Watch the trailer here. The test pilot was apparently extremely well-received, and was chosen to be screened at various summer festivals as part of ABC's Summer Block Party, as well as San Diego Comic Con during the show's panel. Eventually, due to popular demand from the Comic Con screening, ABC made the pilot available on their YouTube channel. Following the 2015 winter hiatus, the second half of Season 1 was given something of a retool, mainly by letting the other Muppets get involved with Up Late in front of the camera as opposed to behind the scenes.On May 12, 2016, ABC announced the cancellation of the series after one season, making it the third shortest-lived Muppet series behind The Jim Henson Hour and The Little Muppet Monsters.Not to be confused with the 2011 film of the same name - or for that matter the original Muppet Show.

The Muppets (2015) / int_120d0e3f	comment	Adam Westing: Celebrity guests almost always play caricatures of themselves. So far we've had Josh Groban as a smug elitist who believes his own hype, Nick Offerman as a Cuckoosnarker who extorts a cappuccino machine from Kermit, and Jason Bateman as a manipulative nebbish. Exceptions include Elizabeth Banks (whose appearance on the show is mostly centered around Piggy hating her for a reason that has nothing to do with Banks herself) and Kristin Chenoweth being dragged along on a road trip by the Electric Mayhem.

The Muppets (2015) / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Kermit pulls a simple one in "Hostile Makeover", in order to get rid of Josh Groban. The plan? Telling Piggy that the show's name is being changed to Josh Groban Presents Up Late with Miss Piggy. This takes advantage of Piggy's ego and causes her to break up with him. A general recurring element of the show is Kermit and Piggy manipulating each other by knowing exactly how the other behaves. Most present in "Pig Out", where Piggy is able to get invited to the gang's hang-out by taking advantage of Kermit's inability to refuse her requests, and Kermit later deliberately inflates her ego so he can get the show back on track.

Though the snippet does imply that it was pretty bizarre. Apparently it involves a porcupine wearing dress socks. In "Pigs in a Blackout", Gonzo lets out a few snippets about the time he tried blast himself over Niagara Falls. All that's really clear is that it didn't work at all. How does Kermit know that Gonzo's mother isn't a very good goat-rider? Whenever Scooter gripes about his mom's boyfriend Ken. In "Swine Song", Uncle Deadly has to clarify twice that two rare sentences he said relating to Gloria Estefan were not the first times he said things like that.

The Muppets (2015) / int_40c57041	comment	Manipulative Bastard: Kermit demonstrates his deep understanding of Piggy's mind when he manipulates her to get rid of Josh Groban and gets her to stop hanging out with the crew after the show while making the crew think it's Piggy's diva attitude causing her to blow them off. In the latter case, after commiserating with the crew about how no one can understand Piggy, he walks away and quietly gives an Evil Laugh. The new "consultant" Pizza (pronounced Pache) also is highly manipulative, trying to get HIS vision of the show pushed. This will lead to a variation of tactics such as tricking Key & Peele to go elsewhere when they're suppose to be on the show, or "treating" the writers to a day on the town to influence their writing.

She also found out Beverly Hills cops are too used to celebrities for breaking the rules to work. In "Walk the Swine", Miss Piggy takes her rivalry with Reese Witherspoon a bit too far and nearly wrecks her show because of it. Her apology to Reese only makes it worse...

The look on poor Piggy's face when an evening out with her boyfriend goes sour in the worst way... "Hostile Makeover" is generally a lot more comedic than the first episode... until Jay Leno discovers that Fozzie stole his George Carlin candy bowl. Let's just say that Fozzie isn't welcome in Leno's house anymore. In "Little Green Lie," the triumphant return of Kermit's nephew Robin (and his first appearance in this show) is immediately followed by Kermit revealing that Robin's parents are currently getting divorced.

The Muppets (2015) / int_a65288e2	comment	Ascended Extra: After quite a while of being Demoted to Extra, Rizzo is back in full force. Also gaining a bigger presence are Uncle Deadly, Pepe, Bobo, and Big Mean Carl, all of whom had small parts in Muppets Most Wanted. Perhaps most noticeable in Chip, a character from the oft forgotten show The Jim Henson Hour, who has a recurring role as the show's IT guy. For his first several appearances his main gag was that even he didn't remember what he was from. Lips got a line of dialogue for the first time since The Great Muppet Caper. Since then, while still The Quiet One, he's had at least one line every time the Electric Mayhem have a large role, making him a full-fledged member of the band for the first time in his career. Yolanda Rat was a minor character in The Muppets Take Manhattan, and has made sporadic appearances since then. She's gotten a decent role in this show as Kermit's secretary. Janice has grown to be far more important on the show than any of the Electric Mayhem members except Animal (and even then, she gives him a run for his money), being far more likely to appear without the rest of the band than any of her co-members. This is likely because of her being one of the few major female Muppets currently around.

He feels bad about it and visits him in the hospital, and agrees to go out and pick up a few things for Statler. When Fozzie comes back, Statler is gone and had left a note saying "sucker". Fozzie later confronts Statler about this, and Statler decides to invite Fozzie out to dinner after the show, intending to play the same trick as before. In "Pigs in a Blackout", Kermit attends a stress-relief retreat which forbids using electronics. Jason Bateman also happens to be attending and convinces a reluctant Kermit to use his cell phone to arrange a special deal for him. The woman in charge sees Kermit with the cell phone and kicks him out, while Bateman denies that he had anything to do with it.

In "Walk the Swine", she manages to take apologizing to a whole new level, just to get the last laugh at Reese Witherspoon.

It almost works. Previously, in "Got Silk?", he says that part of his job is to keep Piggy's mind off the "yawning abyss" that is her life, and that snacks usually work.

The Muppets (2015) / int_d9563969	comment	Failed Attempt at Drama: There are so many examples in Kermit's phone call to Fozzie in "Bear Left Then Bear Write", let us count them: After Fozzie tells off Kermit, saying "You don't have to believe in me, I believe in me!", Fozzie remarks that that was great dialogue, with Kermit saying it was "a little contrived". After Fozzie says that he's off the grid and Kermit won't be able to find him, his map icon chimes in with some directions that Kermit takes the time to write down. And, finally, there's Fozzie hanging up on Kermit. Failing to hang up on Kermit. Repeatedly, because he doesn't know how to do that from the map app. And some how, after listening to Kermit's instructions on how to leave the map app to stop the call, Fozzie winds up opening Angry Birds. One Jump Cut later, and Kermit informs the camera man that "it's been 30 minutes" as Fozzie is heard paying for gas over the phone.

Parodied in "Going, Going, Gonzo", where the main plot revolves around Piggy attempting to advertise her "Piggy Water" on the show, to a point where she's willing to let Gonzo attempt a cannon stunt for the sake of plugging it. Also parodied in "Got Silk?" when Pache tries to get a "sketch" about frozen yoghurt on the show, which has nothing funny about it because "you can't make fun of the product".
