Damn to the depths of hell the idiots who are responsible for this ludicrous display of poor taste.
That would be Bill Prady, late 80s Muppet writer turned Big Bang Theory creator. I honestly was going to lay into him, but I didn't know he actually worked with Henson and wrote the memorial special after he died. I didn't find the new show to be as awful as I feared. I'll give it another couple episodes, see if it can actually move from "not awful" to "actually made me laugh". Maybe if it wasn't focused on Kermit and Fozzie's dating drama (not to each other) and was just about the writer's room, because I'd watch Gonzo, Rizzo, and Pepe all day.
