This trailer did highlight an ongoing issue for me - fozzie is not supposed to be sarcastic. He’s always well meaning, optimistic, and cheerful.
I realize characters evolve - Dave still performs gonzo and that character has evolved a lot - but Fozzie having and hint of sarcasm or negativity is wrong for me.
This was also demonstrated in the fozzie and Pepe short - the writing was good - Pepe was good - but fozzie’s delivery felt very off.

I’m so excited for this. 
That discussion board called Muppet Central forum are so negative about it! Geez! Look you guys, I know you’re all nervous, and believe it or not, I’m nervous too. But with Sabrina Carpenter as a guest star, I think there’s a chance that will be a success since The Muppets 2011 movie. I know some of you don’t believe in Disinsider, but I asked the question if The Muppet Show will be hit and becomes a reboot series, here’s what he or she says:
If The Muppet Show special is a hit, does this mean we’ll get a reboot of The Muppet Show?
I believe that is the idea with pilot, and I’m sure it will be a hit, the return of the Muppets where they were most famous, and host rising superstar Sabrina Carpenter is a match made for success.

If only Disney had an appropriately themed attraction at one of their themeparks located in Florida to take advantage of brand IP synergy.
Oh well.

How it felt hearing Vogel Kermit in the teaser trailer when everything else looked and sounded spot on
Vogel’s Kermit sounds awful. Is there no one else in the world who can do that voice?

It’s generally one of the most beloved pieces of muppet content so I would have to say it’s you

It’s not just about the voice, it’s also the puppeteering which is arguably “the hard part”

Matt Vogel makes a wonderful Uncle Deadly, but he's an awful Kermit and Big Bird. Aside from Gonzo and Miss Piggy, none of the characters sound right. Given Seth Rogan's involvement, I don't have high hopes for this.
