The Patriot Resource Comments on Season 2:
After the writers spent the first season feeling out the characters (and dropping a few), this season features the long-running cast of Muppets settled into the mode that they are known for. The writing admittedly is not always sharp with some skits working much better than others. Our personal favorites are the cranky old balcony dwellers Statler and Waldorf, who voice a less-than satisfied audience that nonetheless is faithful in attendence. Unlike the well-known Saturday Night Live sketch series, there are behind-the-scenes storylines sprinkled throughout each episode usually featuring Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Having had to settle for Best of retrospectives, watching entire episodes does take some of the luster off as some skits fall flat or left us scratching our heads. At the same time, we finally can once again watch all the bits from our favorite Muppets.
