The Muppets Lost Its Showrunner?
In ABC news, it seems that The Muppets might have been fighting a battle internally. The official showrunner behind the series, the Anger Management veteran Bill Prady has officially stepped down from his role. It seems like there might have been some creative differences, as the show currently had a strong focus on more adult-oriented humor that may have rubbed some people the wrong way.[1]
So, what does this mean for the
television show? Well it seems writer Kristin Newman, who has worke don The
Neighbors and How I Met Your Mother might step up as showrunner and it seems
that after the Winter break, it could see a soft reboot. Maybe they are trying
to fight against the common complaints that have surfaced with many still
confused by the more adult-oriented humor the show uses. I personally have no
problem with it and looking at The Big Bang Theory, another show Bill Prady
worked on, it seems to be a staple for the showrunner.
