You have got to be kidding me, it's the freaking Muppets for crying out loud! I get a kick out of how Segal wasn't happy with the Muppets adventure storylines. The Muppets had a great run in the late 70's early 80's, let's leave it at that. How much can you do with the Muppets anyway? Return to the Muppet roots? You have got to be kidding me, it’s the freaking Muppets for crying out loud!
