Prepare for another varied night of horror, adventure, and comedy. And we are just getting started. Here is what you can expect to see tonight:
- Limitless, CBS: This is the the second movie remake in two nights, the last being Minority Report. Is this really necessary? It is another show for teens, though this time the secret to great grades is a pill rather than studying and getting some rest. Been there, done that. Can it really sustain a series? See for yourself via this trailer.
- The Muppets, CBS: If you grew up with The Muppets, you may be very happy to see the whole gang back (check out this trailer). Or maybe not. One Million Moms is already encouraging a boycott of the show because of the language used by these little guys, stating
It is not the show it once was. ABC has ruined "The Muppets." How many parents want to explain the punchline of sexually charged jokes to young children?
And the moms are not alone. Here is what The Guardian had to say about the rebooted puppets:
This version of Kermit is absolutely unrecognisable from anything that’s ever come before. This Kermit badmouths fellow celebrities, openly discusses his sex life and, at one point, describes his life as “a living hell”. That’s not who Kermit is. Kermit is the perennial wide-eyed optimist, the figure who grounds the chaos around him in sincerity. Kermit is the dreamer who believes in the power of people. He’s the one who sings The Rainbow Connection. He is most definitely not the stress-eating, coffee-drinking executive that The Muppets paints him as. It physically hurts to see what ABC have done to him.
Update: I enjoyed the pilot episode of the Muppets and thought the humor was appropriate for all age levels. It appears the Million Moms are more like the two old men in the audience always complaining yet always coming back for more. Give it a rest, Moms.
