The original Muppet show was a precursor to reality shows and 30 rock, as it pretended to show backstage drama

Posted by: Paul2k on Sep 29, 12:59 in response to JDolphin's post Liking the muppets got people to watch the 1st ep. But...

of a variety/vaudeville theater show in addition to the onstage acts themselves. Lots of humor and jokes aimed at the intellect of adults. Even sesame street uses lots of humor aimed at adults that will fly directly over kids heads.

Has anyone seen The Muppets new tv series? Watched it from DVR last night. I didn't think it was bad at all.. I hadn't heard the best Dorfman Sep 28, 07:30

ABC's The Muppets premiered on Tuesday to 9 million total viewers and a 2.9 demo rating. Biggest premier for ABC since Dorfman Sep 28, 07:31

I liked it...gonna be following it {nm} tealfan Sep 28, 09:33

too funny {nm} Dorfman Sep 29, 08:21

It wasn't my style. I was looking for something more light like the original show not an adult comedy with the muppet characters {nm} JDolphin Sep 28, 12:22

Liking the muppets got people to watch the 1st ep. But liking those kinds of jokes and style not the muppets is what will keep JDolphin Sep 28, 12:33

As DTravel said below, the OLD Muppet shows were full of adult humor and innuendo. It's only nostalgia that has you remember otherwise {nm} BSmurf Sep 29, 06:43

I've seen the "Muppets are kid show" arguments in other places (more inside) DTravel Sep 29, 12:26

I don't mind the adult humor. It's the plotlines I don't like. Maybe I thinking more Christmas movie and such but I was so looking forward JDolphin Oct 01, 01:25

You make a good point. I missed the goofyness too {nm} Dorfman Sep 29, 08:22
