The Muppets’ most famous pairing is hurting the franchise.
Recently, it seemed the minders of the Muppets might realize that the central romance of the franchise no longer had currency. On the short-lived ABC series, Kermit got a new girlfriend, also a pig, named Denise—the subject of the memorable Jezebel headline But by series’ end, the characters once again fell into familiar patterns, as the finale focused entirely on the will-they-or-won’t-they question—including other Muppets writing PRO and CON lists on a whiteboard as Kermit tried to decide.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger of sorts, with Kermit professing his love for Piggy in a last-ditch romantic gesture. The first episode ofThe Muppeteers’ obsession with Piggy and Kermit has come at the expense of nearly every other character. Sure, Fozzie. But we know so little about, say, the long-term love of Gonzo and Camilla the chicken, or Janice’s romances with various members of Electric Mayhem, or what is actually the deal with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker.
