Yeah, the new Muppets show was pretty fucking bad. Saw the first episode on its release day, and the people I watched it with (my husband and my brother-in-law) were really unimpressed as well.
Which, you know, eats at my very soul because I love the Muppets.
And I did not know that Frank Oz was "against" the 2011 film. Love the man, but ... Dude. The 2011 movie is wonderful.
The new voice actor for Kermit is atrocious. Super distracting. Don't know what happened with Steve Whitmire (based on Disney's recent history, I bet they "Johnny Depp'd" him), but at least pick a GOOD replacement. Almost anyone can do a better Kermit impression than this new jackass.
Like, hire Ray Romano, or something. He'd be better than this chump, lol. Hire anyone. Just get someone new, please.
