The Muppets (2015)

That was pretty rough.  Will give them a few more episodes and see if they end up somewhere a bit more consistently entertaining.

The Muppet Show is both hard to live up to (for older fans) and a straight re-make probably would not work well on modern TV (for younger audiences), so I appreciate that they don't have it easy here.

OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD....do they have the Swedish chef doing Rapper's Delight next episode??

The third episode was actually fairly decent.

Enough so that I will watch the fourth, had it been on the same level as episode 2 I probably would have given up there.

Episode four was pretty solidly funny.  The B plot with Fozzie was a little weak (I just don't think Fozzie works well on his own), but the A plot entertained.  The Swedish Chef rapping was great.

Fozzie has always, ironically, worked best as the straight man. Having him lead a storyline doesn't work well unless the other people are crazy rather than cruel.
