    Fun fact for Episode 14: Steve Whitmire (The puppeteer of Kermit on this show) was AGAINST the idea of Kermit lying to Robin saying, "I don’t think Kermit would lie to him, I think that as Robin came to Kermit, he would say ‘things happen, people go their separate ways, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about you.’ Kermit is too compassionate to lie to him to spare his feelings.” This just goes to show, Whitmire truly cared about his mentor and friend Jim and his legacy, but he was unfortunately fired by his friend's children for being 'difficult to work with'.

      @AthenaPOfficial Trust me, when I first heard of this from a video Some Boi Online made about Kermit's voice being off, I was immediately feeling sad for Steve because it seemed like he truly cared about Jim's legacy and Jim's own children didn't see that and fired Steve for trying to protect their dad's legacy.

      I think it’s a bit disingenuous to call Jim Henson’s own children “his friend’s children”, the Henson Family themselves chose Steve in the early 90s to take over the role of Kermit after Jim’s passing, Steve was hired by their mother Jane Henson herself in the middle of the Muppet show, and it should be the families decision on whether or not to have him continue the role, one the main decisions makers in this case would be Brian Henson, who is the head at Jim Henson Productions and the creature shop, who also directed several Muppet movies including the first one after Jim’s passing, Brian worked with Steve for literal decades, regardless, we weren’t on set, a firing such as this would not just happen out of the blue, especially after playing the character for nearly 30 years, not to mention being a OG Muppet Show Alumni, regardless of Steve’s knowledge or love of the character, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t “difficult to work” with later on or during his time as a Muppet performer, another person who would’ve been apart of the decision making is Bill Barretta, who is the current creative leader at Muppets Studios, Bill took over as Rowlf after Jim, and created several iconic Muppet Characters such as Pepe the Prawn and Johnny Fiama (with Brian playing Sal Minella), Bill also worked with Steve for almost 3 decades, I don’t think a firing like this would have happened if he wasn’t being actually difficult to work with

      I agree that Kermit is severely out of character ever since Muppets Most Wanted, and he has been forced to say some very unpleasant things. That said, Kermit and Miss Piggy talking trash about each other in PR stuff has been a staple from the very beginning of their relationship. Disney just sucks at writing for them.

    The Muppet show was originally created for adults. It aired on late night television and featured a ton of adult humor. I would say having the sitcom be pg13 is a return to form/expansion on that idea.

    Because a lot of people nowadays watched The Muppet’s for the first time before their first romantic relationship I feel like a lot of people remember why Miss Piggy is toxic but but forget questionable stuff Kermit’s done and ways he’s toxic in the relationship because he tends to put on a “poor me, putting up with you” routine and younger people have trouble distinguishing playing up being the victim and actually being the victim. It muddies the waters that sometimes he genuinely is the victim of her unreasonable demand but other times he placates her without resolving the underlying issues which furthers there dysfunction.

I wish I had the skill to make one on Gobo's development in the new season of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. He really does get so stressed from the world falling apart that he sings a whole song ("Push It Down, Fraggle Up") about ignoring and bottling up his emotions that implores every other Fraggle in the Rock to do the same.

    Finally a video about our queen! Miss Piggy is an icon and I love her so much!
    I always avoided the ABC Muppets due to the bad reputation but a few weeks ago I decided to give it a try and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Even with Kermit’s infrequent but very unpleasant moments of mischaracterization, the show is still really funny and enjoyable. The bit in the first episode with Fozzie talking about his dating profile took me so off guard and it is perfect.
    Something a lot of people miss is just how excellent Steve Whitmire’s performance is as Kermit. The show’s format required a very expressive Kermit and Steve pulled it off masterfully. It’s one of my favorite Muppet performances and it’s severely under appreciated.
    All in all, really fun show, but by no means a perfect one. I’d love to see a full lore deep dive for the show. (aHem)
    P.S. An interesting thing to note is that even though we know Kermit would never cheat, Jim Henson, for whom Kermit was of course a frog stand in, actually did cheat on his wife Jane on multiple occasions. Even so, Jim and Jane remained good friends until his death.
    P.P.S. I have a strong suspicion that the part of Pizza (the branding guru) was written specifically for Aziz Ansari. I mean Pizza is literally just a successful Tom Haverford.

    If you want a new deep Lore idea, did you ever read the magic Tree House series as a kid? It's one of my favourites, but looking back on it now, some of the stuff Jack and Annie were doing was not something two under 10s should have been doing. They were on the Titanic in one book and had to deal with a tidal wave in another. So good, but also so crazy.

    Seeing people talk about this show again makes me so happy, I definitely wish this series got another season but it super clear why it never did, as a Muppet fan it’s really hard when you don’t really get much these days when compared to other Disney Properties, and when we do it’s not really marketed, ending with less Muppets stuff being made dude to a declining viewership (it’s kinda in a loop), in turn no one really talks about them, so thank you for reigniting my Muppet Hyperfixation for today (PS. Give Muppet Mayhem a watch if you want genuinely crazy Muppet Lore)

  • @thequackateers
    @thequackateers Před 4 měsíci +39

    The 2015 series did have its moments, both good and bad. While it did give the Muppets a fresh new start to be back on TV again, the way it was executed was kinda….well…it could’ve been handled a little better.
    But I still feel like while the Kermit/Piggy Breakup could’ve been expanded upon and would’ve fleshed out the characters more than they’ve ever been, it was initially created for publicity and press. It just made these characters unlikeable to see them in this way.
    Nothing against the show, or the characterizations that the show runners had in mind, but I feel like some of the charm that Jim Henson and his original crew made recognizable was missing. The Muppets did exist in the real world, but they also were part of their own world too.
    And no, that doesn’t mean they always treat each other with respect. In fact, sometimes they can’t stand each other. But it is during some tough times, where they are even at their lowest, that they always find a way to unite and make things work again. It’s through the wrong that they make things right. It’s taking what they got, and flying with it.
    This is something that even Disney needs to understand. We love these characters for being real with us, but finding enough wittiness and nuttiness to make us laugh. And there absolutely should be a balance. And no, I’m not saying how Jim would want it, but I’m more saying on how we need it.
    If there’s one thing that is true, it’s that these characters will still be around, ready to pop up anywhere at anytime, and that’s what I love about the Muppets. They still find ways.

    I personally think miss piggy and kermit work best when kermit is too humble and piggy is too egotistical. Like Kermit is nice, he’s down to earth, he’s your friend, but dude is way too soft and introverted to survive hollywood. Miss Piggy KNOWS how to be a star, she is a force of nature that won’t let ANYONE mess with her Kermie,much less herself, but Kermit helps pull her down to Earth so she’s actually friends with the people she works with, not just using them as props in her career. Like the dynamic isn’t SUPER healthy but you get why they benefit each other as performers and people.
