It's not the 'adult' or 'edgy' (or whatever other inane adjective) nature of it that bothers me. What ruins it is the fact that it doesn't ring true to what the Muppets are actually about. They may make jokes about many things, they may be many things, but mean-spirited is not one of them. What I saw on this new show was very much based in mean-spirited humor, encouraging the viewer to laugh at the characters rather than with them. (The use of the term 'humor' itself is overly generous in this case, since not only was it not funny, it was painfully embarrassing to sit through.)

Maybe this is too subtle a tonal discord for the writers of the new show to be able to pick up on, but they really should have known better—especially if the head guy has actually worked on the Muppets before. That only serves to further lower my estimation of his abilities and understanding.

Besides, let's face it: that whole 'The Office' schtick has quite worn out its welcome by now. It's a tiresome, irritating device which serves no purpose other than to disguise a lack of originality, and lampshading it only serves to further highlight the stupidity of using it in the first place.
