The Muppets (TV series)

"just another day in hollywood"

"Finally. A network tv show with full frontal nudity."

"Just another tv show starring an egotistical pig."

"Changing the tv manscape."

"Television has finally hit its beak."

"[T]he main challenge facing "The Muppets" is finding that sweet spot between injecting such irreverence into this venerable franchise and pushing too far or besmirching it in the eyes of more traditional fans."

"The mature version of "The Muppets" will cover a range of topics from sex to drugs. Miss Piggy came out as a pro-choice feminist during an MSNBC interview. The puppet characters loved by kids in the 1970s and 1980s and beyond are now weighing in on interspecies relationships and promiscuity. … ABC has ruined "The Muppets." How many parents want to explain the punchline of sexually charged jokes to young children?Many parents unknowingly will let their children watch an episode only to find out its perverted nature too late, unless they are alerted ahead of time. 1MM and others need to get the word out to families to avoid this program at all costs."

"Kermit and Miss Piggy, please meet Joe Camel. It is a tragedy that one of the most iconic children's television shows in history, The Muppets, would be so filled with adult content—sexual innuendoes, sexual references, drugs and alcohol, to be exact—that it would become too toxic for children."

"Additionally, one bar scene in the 4th episode was long enough to consume almost one-quarter of the show's screen time, during which Muppet characters were shown drinking and becoming drunk from beer, wine, and hard liquor."
