I watched clips of the new show. It seems fun and all. I particularly like the characterization of new addition Summer Penguin (arty, spunky, very sweet, energetic) to balance out Miss Piggy's uber-femininity. Speaking of which, I really like how the new show softened Piggy's personality. Still can be haughty and envious of others, but have those traits belie a sensitive soul.

The only part I never really got was how they characterized Scooter and Skeeter's relationship. In the original show, they were twins of opposite personalities (Scooter a nerdy tech genius, Skeeter athletic and sporty), clashing with each other as often as not. Here, they're pretty much Pip and Pop from Bear in the Big Blue House; twins who do everything (playing video games, eating pizza, playing sports, etc.) together. Were twins of conflicting interests too much for the showrunners or something?
