Review: The Muppets redeem themselves — well, Disney does — with delightful 'Muppets Now'
Jim Henson, creator of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the other Muppets who entertained and educated millions of preschoolers and their parents around the world, died early Wednesday of pneumonia.
“You’re as alive as me,” says Piggy. And just for a second, you can see Plaza pondering the ramifications of this statement. I’ve seen four episodes, out of six — too few! — and the only segment that felt off to me — and, yes, this probably says more about me than it does about “Muppets Now” — is one in which Kermit displays his photobombing skills. I mean, it was fine; I just didn’t buy it as a thing he’d be into. The abuse Beaker takes in the “Muppet Labs” episodes can be a little distressing — there is an emotional as well as a slapstick component to it — but that always was an asymmetrical toxic relationship.
