How do you feel about the program being named "The Muppets"?

I thought it was too plain and likely to cause great confusion due to its range and the fact that a theatrical movie was given the same name.

It does accurately describe what the show is about (the muppets themselves and their "relationships"). It also distinguishes it from their previous TV series "The Muppett Show" which was about he muppets putting on a show.

"The New Muppet Show" would have been a better title for the program (if I were in charge of the program and had just learned of it being renewed for more episodes for next autumn, I would have began referring to the first group of episodes as "The New Muppet Show Part One" and began referring to the program as "The New Muppet Show Part Two" from that day forward).

Doesn't really bother me, not really too many choices to pick from.
