Kermit's new voice sounds off. It should get ironed out eventually, but it is VERY noticeable even to casual Muppet fans.
Scooter on his computer as the segue between skits is boring. There's little interaction between characters outside of the skits.
There should be two guest stars max per episode. It felt crowded and the guests didn't really get too much time to shine. RuPaul was amazing though.
I miss the performance pieces and songs of the older shows. They did a good job of letting you catch your breath in between skits and many verged on being art performances. I honestly think this is the biggest thing that has been missing the past few series.
My favorite skit was the one about Kermit photobombing. I prefer fast paced slapstick humor when it comes to my Muppets and this skit does it well. I hope there are more in this vein coming up.
It is fairly middle of the road. It doesn't really do anything different or better than what has come before. The rest of the season may get better, but as of right now it's just "okay".
