My vote is for flatbread!!
Kermit used to still make appearances back in the day. Of course that day is long gone.
As for the Muppets show, it's hard to say what exactly went wrong there. The ratings started high and fell off but I wonder if it would have happened no matter how they portrayed the Muppets? I watched hoping for the old show and didn't like the changes. Would the old style have worked?
I actually thought their mid-90's stuff, like The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, was quite good, and I believe it was pretty popular at the time. In fact, I think The Muppet Christmas Carol is neck-and-neck with The Muppet Movie for my favorite movie they've done.The muppets fit that weird John Denver, Gordon lightfoot dominated niche of the late 70's/early 80's of pre technology...then got some good legs for kids with fraggle and muppet babies in the 80's...
But I don't think it really translates. In 20 years only senior citizens will be fond of the muppets.
Like lawrence welk
Pizza is a very regional thing. A New Yorker isn't going to agree with someone from Chicago as to what constitutes good pizza, even if they both used the worlds best ingredients. I'm under no impression that pizza planet was gourmet pizza....the question is did the kids like it? Beyond that it's not a big deal to me. I can't remember being wowed by any quick service location.
I think sauce makes all the difference in the world....but some people it's crust.
Just out of curiosity how did you feel about the 2011 one? I personally thought it was fantastic and very true to spirt with the show and vision (honestly the only other two muppets properties I have seen, not counting Sesame Street of course). I have yet to see most wanted though, I need to set aside a day for itMuppets from Space is where it really started to go downhill for me. It's like they suddenly lost the classic Muppet charm, and they've never quite regained it. Coincidentally (or not), that film is where Frank Oz really started stepping back from the Muppets. At that point, you'd lost Jim Henson and you'd lost Frank Oz, and they were the guideposts for the franchise.

Same here. I was looking forward to the same old muppets. But the storyline was not "Muppets" to me.Kermit used to still make appearances back in the day. Of course that day is long gone.

Rumour/speculation I heard (believe it was on Tom Bricker's site) is that it will likely be flatbread pizza similar to the new AK Pizzafari menu.
I hope the pizza changesI hope they keep the same menu, the pizzas were generic, but the meatball subs and cappuccino cupcakes were awwwesome.
I don't care for the flatbreads at places like pinocchio, my father said "It tastes like Pinocchio's father made this." I tend to agree with him, it looks like a big cracker with ketchup on it.
