I never got the chance to see this in the theater, but I finally watched it today. It was wonderful, but at the same time kind of strange, because you do get the feeling that the writers don't have much affection for any of the films or specials past Muppets Take Manhattan. I know it's been a mixed bag since then, but that doesn't make the premise of everyone having forgotten the Muppets and Kermit being so out of the loop that Jimmy Carter and Bob Hope are at the top of his contacts any easier to buy.
I guess I understand why they would focus on the... continuity established by The Muppet Show and the original films? I'm not sure if that's the word I'm looking for, but whatever. It feels kind of alienating in a way.
(Would it have been so much to ask for Gonzo and Rizzo to bro it up a little, at least?)
