But there are lot of positive reviews too. I'm also unsure about it. I think it'll grow on me, but for now I like it. All shows develop with time, so we should keep giving this one a chance. I need at least a few episodes to make a proper judgement.

Really? NONE of the jokes? There were a lot of really great ones. Anyway I think things will really pick up after just a few episodes.

The next episode has got a really awesome subplot with Fozzie and Jay Leno. It's hilarious, and so classically Muppety.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that nothing elicited even a smile. The bit at the end with Tom Bergeron alone was priceless.

Haha, maybe I was tired. Don't get me wrong- I enjoyed just SEEING the Muppets on tv again. That was worth the price of admission. I just thought the jokes were a little lacking. I have no fears that the next episode will WOW.

I'm not exactly sure that the next episode is WOW... But it's fun. And the show is still finding it's footing.
Like I said, after a handful of episodes is where things will really pick up.
Netflix just released some data on how many episodes it seems to take before views start to binge watch shows. For even the most popular shows it's between 2 - 8 episodes before people (in general) get hooked. - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/netflix-binge-watching-habits_5602e458e4b0fde8b0d0dee1

Agreed. While I didn't laugh from start to finish, it had more funny parts than I had expected it to. I did laugh out loud when Scooter jumped back on the cart with Elizabeth and said "I'm back!" Very Muppets. Like others have said, it's hard to judge after just 1 show.

Uneven first episode, hysterical second episode. If the second episode is indicative of the quality of the rest of the season, the Muppets are back!

After the first episode.. I was very worried. But I just got around to watching episode 2... and thankfully it was much much better than the first somewhat weird episode. Hopefully the show stays like this.

AGREED. My girlfriend and I will constantly quote Miss Piggy's "I don't know what you see in your new girlfriend, and you're getting a bit of a tummy" to each other, as well as Sam's tirade on making babies.
I really enjoyed this week's episode. Beaker and Honeydew at Karaoke and then the next day, Sam's crush and Kermit showing his very manipulative side.

I think the bits with Fozzy have been hit or miss. The first episode was great, and I loved him quitting to become a screen writer, but the bits with Leno and this week's bits were weak. And this week's bits had Statler! They should have been much funnier (they were funny, but ill-paced).
I personally think Bunsen and Beaker stole the show on this week's episode. "Hey, if it happens outside of the office, we DON'T owe him an explanation."

That might be a good thing. While I and others like it, many other Muppets fans have voiced displeasure.
Hopefully they don't ruin it -
"All of these changes would not be surprising if The Muppets was failing to bring in an audience. But The Muppets is actually doing quite well, and it has been Tuesday night’s highest-rated new TV show. However, Disney and ABC have much higher expectations of The Muppets, and they want the show to be a bigger hit than it currently is."
