What do you think of the Muppets, post-Henson's death?

The voices don't seem matched compared to original episodes. I think Stewie on Family Guy comments about that.

Oops, but forgot to add that its more of an annoyance to me. I thought Muppets Tonight was fabulously funny and was disappointed it was cancelled.

The movies have been decent.
The TV show tries too hard to be an Office/30 Rock hybrid. It's humorous at times, but it doesn't feel like the Muppets to me.
Wish they did more side work like what the did on Hitchhiker's to the Galaxy

I think the new VA try their best but still have trouble.

That said it's been hit and miss. Most of the youtube shorts have been cute, and the new movies were alright. Not enough rizzo.

Show's hit and miss. They need consistant writing because there's been some hilarious episodes and some really flatline ones.

I like them okay. Though I only saw the first muppets movie and a bit of the newest show. I think as long as they don't get completely fucked I'll just be glad they're still around.

also inb4 muppets aren't /co/

Whatever episode had "there is no colder face than freon face" made me lose it.

Show has been only okay though. They need to step it up on the antics. It's goddamn muppets.

Some of the movies were good, and some came across as cheap Disney videos. The new series is the kind of garbage that will probably haunt the entire franchise.

Fucked up thing happened last year. Had a dream I was hanging out in a big park with some white guy in his late 20's/early 30's, Kermit, Piggy, and Fozzie on a sunny morning. We were just sitting around, joking and enjoying the day. I come here a few weeks later for the first time and see a muppets thread, and comment on how things were better on Sesame Street before Henson died...then realized I didn't even know what he looked like, so I googled "Jim Henson". It was the same guy from my dream.

Love them. Muppets From Space is probably my favorite from the franchise. The newer movies have been great too.

I think it's not a comic or a cartoon, nor is it based on either

I think the people who get mad about this board talking about comic book movies are retarded, but really this board at times becomes a trash can for any childish subject other boards don't want. Kid anime, puppetry, how is it /co/ related

Fun, but under-utilized.

In a perfect world. they would of had a new Muppets TV show ready to go once the first of the new movies came out, to keep the coals burning.

The buzz was almost totally cold once the second new movie came out, and "then" they had a show ready to go.

I feel they really missed their chance to strike while the iron was hot right after "The Muppets" movie.

They need to do more movies based on classic literature, like with Treasure Island and A Christmas Carol.

Just going to judge the recent run.

>The Muppets
Good return to form, a genuinely enjoyable film through and through.

>The Muppets Most Wanted
Some really great jokes, but some parts fell flat, and other parts were just too weird. Solidly okay.

>Muppets TV Show
I've only seen a handful of episodes
Its a parody of a style of show that has already fallen out of favor with the American populace, which makes it already stale. But it has some good jokes and its nice to see the Muppets from a different angle. If this is as good as The Muppets is from now on, I can live with that.

Complete and utter garbage.
Henson was a genius, and The Muppets should've died with him, just like Kukla, Fran, and Ollie died with Burr Tilstrom.

same, it's legitimately one of the best adaptations of that story.

All through December I was singing Scrooge and It Feels Like Christmas while I walked around the house.

Most Wanted is the better film. It feels like a muppet movie, and they nail the muppet personalities better than the Jason Segel one. Too sappy and sentimental, none of the zany cartoon anarchy.

That said, I feel like both of the newer Muppet films suffer from being too reliant on the Muppet Show. I prefer it when the movies have their own story to tell rather then just being "TV Show The Movie"

He retired for doing the Muppets sixteen years ago because he was too busy with his directing career, and felt that the characters were too valuable to be away from the spotlight, so he chose the new VA personally
