ABC's new take on the Jim Henson classic, "The Muppets," is getting called a "hip, adult" Muppet Show in some reviews. In others, well...they aren't as nice.

If you haven't seen the show, and are a fervent fan of the variety show and movies of the 70's and 80's, you might want to watch an episode with a grain of salt.

Ok...several grains.

Even though these Muppets are more hip and adult (and have real-world 2015 problems), they are still The Muppets, and still have that Muppet charm. They also still can use an individual Muppet's strengths (or idiosyncrasies) to make some fine comedy.

How'd you like to see a bunch of drunk Muppets sing karaoke with Ed Helms?  You know you do.

The Swedish Chef has got some skills!
