It made it really hard to suspend your disbelief. They referred to themselves as being made of felt in some skits, and the guy in the intro traded noses by pulling his off and velcroing another on. It was cheesy and stupid. On the original series, and in the classic Muppet movies, Kermit was a FROG. Miss Piggy was a glamourous actress who happened to be a PIG. They weren't PUPPETS. A one-off joke like Ernie pulling Bert's nose off for the Bert sculpture on Sesame Street is one thing, but going around freely admitting you're a puppet is another.

I was even a fan of Muppets Tonight. The problem is that the Muppets got too Disneyfied. Too bad Jim Henson can't come back from the dead and revive his legacy.
