THE MUPPET SERIES (2015) IS AN AMAZING HIDDEN GEM OF A SHOW THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH.

Hello! If you don't know, the muppets had a mockumentary style TV show that aired on ABC in 2015. I watched it, and boy did I love it. The premise of the show is simple. The Muppets have moved on from the classic Muppet Telethon that we all know and love. They now run a late night talk show with Ms Piggy as the host, Kermit as the producer, Fozzie Bear as the warm up comedian before the show, and Rizzo, Pepe, and Gonzo as the writers. All other Muppets have office jobs around the studio. The show wastes no time letting us know that Ms Piggy and Kermit have (somewhat recently) broken up, and seem to be over each other. Piggy is focused on her show while Kermit is focused on running the show and his new girlfriend. (Who is also a pig, funnily enough.) The mockumentary style of the show allows for us to explore the characters and how they really feel about the people around them and the situations they find themselves in, which is VERY important because this show dives deep into Piggy and Kermit's relationship.

Now, this show has more mature humor. A lot of the jokes aren't really meant for kids. They don't go so far as to cuss, but you get the point. That's important for this show because it really helps the muppets feel like actual adults. They have jobs, relationships, cars, taxes, the issue of deciding where to go for lunch, etc. At some points you forget that they're muppets until you get to a scene where Fozzie Bear is driving a car and you realize how ridiculous it looks. Seeing the muppets in these very real and relatable situations makes for good humor that genuinely made me laugh many times. None of it felt too cheesy or corny. Mostly because it really does feel like a group of coworkers becoming friends, who are trying to fulfill their dreams, relationships, and selves all at the same time. It's just… so much fun. Their the muppets… what more can I say?

Aside from humor, the friendships and relationship dynamics are another highlight of this show. There are just SO MANY that the writers did right. Deadly and Piggy's relationship was especially funny and sweet to me. They both compliment each other extremely well. While Deadly is the realistic, dramatic and brutally honest type, Piggy is the flamboyant, dramatic, and over the top celebrity that Deadly constantly has to watch over and take care of. However, he doesn't always seem to hate it. Deadly has a genuine love and care for Piggy that he won't always admit to. He constantly has her back and is taking care of her every need. It's his job, but I don't think he'd ever want to do it for any other celebrity. Piggy doesn't always see how much he does for her, but when she does, she appreciates it and returns the favor when she can. I'd go more into it but then this post would be too long. There's also Kermit and Piggy, whose relationship is the focus of the show. They both start the show off as their worst selves. Kermit is hyper focused on the show and often disregards his coworkers and his own needs. He's a lot more focused on the job than even his own girlfriend at times. He's not super egotistical or rude, but he could stand to think more of others and their feelings sometimes. Piggy is even more egotistical and self absorbed though. She throws huge fits, is rude to every single coworker, yells at everyone, and is only nice when things are going her way. As the show goes on however, they both start to open up to those around them, realizing that if they prioritize those who are truly important to them and try to work better as a team, their coworkers and their show will be better for it.

Eventually, we get around to Piggy and Kermit reevaluating their own relationship and the way they feel about each other. I won't spoil how that goes for them but the drama between them is really good. If you, dear reader, only knew how emotionally invested I got in a pig and frog getting romantically together, you might be concerned.

I don't want to make too long of a post. Everything you've read so far was a huge impulse to write down some of my thoughts on this show. It may have come off as a shock to some people since I usually just post about gacha games, but this is me letting you know that this show captivated my heart so much that I had to write about it. Anywhere. I lay in my bed, typing away on my phone, thinking about the Muppets, and listening to The Rainbow Connection while imploring you to watch this show because it made me feel the way art is supposed to make you feel. You don't usually expect to find so much value in a dramatic story about love and relationships in a show about anthropomorphic puppets running a late night talk show, but it just might happen to you if you watch it. I hope I was able to articulate myself in a way that showed how strongly I feel about this show. This really is just a bunch of word vomit that hasn't been edited or proofread. If you did read all of it though, thank you. Hope you give the show a chance one day. It is 12:02am, so I'm going to go to sleep. I'll leave you with a clip from the show that showcases the humor, and the way the characters interact all in one.

If you happen to be a Disney executive reading this, by all means, bring this post up to your coworkers and higher ups. Let them know that at least one person somewhere out in the world, loved your show about silly little Muppets so much, that they would like a renewal even 6-8 years later. However, if you do, let them know that this person doesn't want ANYTHING like 'Muppets NOW!' I specifically want The Muppets (The Series 2015) renewed for a second season. Late night talk shows are still relevant and the muppets can still host one. Get Bill Prady and his team back. I want the same heart and passion that went into that first season. While you're at it, get a good voice actor for Kermit. I'm sure the Muppets Now VA was doing his best but you guys can hire someone with a better Kermit voice. If you can't do this, don't bother. The show didn't have too bad of an ending anyways.

If you happen to be Bill Prady, thank you for this show. It was a fun and awesome time. If you ever do anything with the muppets again, I'd be excited to see it.

7. An untitled 2D animated Dexter direct-to-DVD & Blu-ray movie with Dee Dee combining the use of Flash animation & 3D cel shaded CGI.

Note: The new characters I’ll be developing will be inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky & Craig McCracken & not Pendleton Ward & J. G. Quintel.

I made a video calling out The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon for making Sheldon a wacky fascist in the context of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady considering themselves antifascists nobly standing up to the rise of real world fascism, unwillingly to critically examine their own storytelling choices.

If Big Bang Theory actually gets another spinoff we have to put Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady in a Saw Trap together

huh.

Muppet Fact #435

For the original presentation pilot of The Muppets (2015), Denise didn't have her own puppet created just quite yet. So, they used the Spamela Hamderson puppet from Muppets Tonight.

After the presentation pilot got off the ground, Denise got her own puppet built.

the big bang theory

Type: Serial/Movie

Genre: Sitcom

Number of Season(s): 12

Running Years: 2007-2019

Creators: Chuck Lorre & Bill Prady

This show is insane. One of the best sitcoms out there. This is genius comedy. Nevertheless, I'd classify this show as an 'exclusive' show, in a sense that this show tends to be understood by certain groups of people. Those who understand academic settings, for example.

Saturday morning cartoons will live again!

This summer at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California, I will develop two Saturday-morning cartoons based on Warner Bros. Television Studios’ popular sitcoms, Friends by Marta Kauffman & David Crane & The Big Bang Theory by Chuck Lorre & Bill Prady. In these animated prequels, the main characters in their respective shows will be in their preteen years (between the ages of 10 & 12). The Friends prequel will set in Central Perk while The Big Bang Theory prequel in Pasadena, California during the events of Young Sheldon & the art style will be inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken & Chris Savino in late 1990s & the early 2000s days of Cartoon Network originals. The cartoons I develop will set to premiere between early & mid 2025, both the Friends & The Big Bang Theory prequels will premiere exclusively on Discovery Family then later on HBO Max (soon Max after merging with Discovery+ on the 4th Tuesday of next month) because all the animated shows on Cartoon Network today uses the current thin line art style thanks to Pendleton Ward & J. G. Quintel, & the running time for the shows are now 15 minutes with commercials. They will be the few 2020s cartoons not to use the Pendleton Ward/J. G. Quintel art style but the thick line art style when it’s not animated in flash, same with Unicorn: Warriors Eternal by Genndy Tartakovsky. For these future projects, they will be produced by Warner Bros. Animation in association with Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions for the Friends prequel, Chuck Lorre Productions for The Big Bang Theory prequel & Warner Bros. Television Studios for both shows respectively. Let’s bring sitcom based cartoons back.

During one shoot, a famed physicist stopped by... and noticed something a little peculiar. "One day this super famous physicist was visiting," co-creator Bill Prady says. "We're doing the set tour we always give after taping because everyone wants to get their picture taken in Sheldon's spot."

During the tour, the physicist noticed one of the props in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Prady says, "People always ask what that thing on the wall post was, it was this wooden box that was actually an antique Geiger counter. The physicist looks at it and goes, 'That's an old Geiger counter.'" (A Geiger counter is a device used to detect radiation).

It turns out the Geiger counter was more than just a unique prop. "'You know,'" Prady remembers the scientist saying, "'those old Geiger counters often had a piece of uranium in them which was used to calibrate them, before people realized that's a stupid idea. I wonder if there's uranium in that.'"

As if it were a scene taken straight from a Big Bang episode, the scientist just so happened to have a working Geiger counter in the trunk of his car. "He went out and grabbed it," Prady says, "and came back in with it, and brought it over to the set and, of course, the thing starts going off and making noises. He opened [the prop] up and said, 'I'm going to put this in a lead box and take it away now,' and then he removed a piece of uranium from the Geiger counter and left!"
