I'm on the same boat. Setting the Muppets in the modern day world isn't a bad idea. They did it with the Looney Tunes. It was called the Looney Tunes Show and it aired on Cartoon Network. Bugs and Daff were roommates. Believe it or not the show worked. I have watch several episodes and it has made me laugh. Tunes are just doing average day things.
Back to the Muppets. Them running a night show for Miss Piggy works, but I'm not sure why they did it like The Office. The Muppets work better in sketches, but I guess people today don't like variety shows anymore. It's the first episode so I hope it gets better.
