Getting better

Significantly better than episode 1. The Muppets actually seem to have found themselves with this one. The slight snarkiness, the knowing comments, the chaos and energy are all more on point here. The Swedish Chef in particular was much better than last episode. For all his flaws, he never cooked with random ingredients like in episode 1. I actually laughed out loud with Beaker and Bunsen, Loved Carol the Hamper, and want Bobo to be my gym buddy. A solid episode and bring on the next!!

A Huge Step Up From the First Episode

I feel like they should've made this the first episode and a lot less people would've written the show off. I'm assuming they didn't want to show this one first because there's a surprising lack of Kermit (he's in it for like 30 seconds).

Each of the skits land well and I was thoroughly entertained. Pepe's gameshow was definitely my favorite - a lot of energy and wackiness you'd expect from the Muppet Crew. I also thought Danny Trejo owned his guest spot in the Swedish Chef portion.

I'm delightfully surprised with the improvement and it makes me more excited to see the rest of the series.

FAR BETTER THAN THE PILOT

This episode was a step up from the first. Now I can't wait for the next episode to see if it gets better or worse

A good mix of nostalgia and current pop culture. Really enjoy the Okey Dokey cooking section.

Way too little.

I wanted a lot more. There were 3 segments. A game show with Pepe. I chuckled once, it's ok. The second is the Swedish chef and with Danny Trejo which I enjoyed enough. Then the third is miss piggy which was pretty bad in my opinion. There's also a bit with scooter putting it together and fozzie cutting in. One big thing is that there's no sign of Kermit here. I think if you don't have Kermit it just isn't really muppets.
