If you responded to ABC’s recent, occasionally hard-hearted revival of The Muppets with a sort of disappointed shrug last year, you’re not alone: network chief Paul Lee doesn’t seem to know what to make of the felt-based showbiz satire, either. Talking at the network’s panel today at the TCA press tour, Lee praised the marketing surrounding the series, but said, “The show itself didn’t quite feel it had the joy and the laughter and the heart that it should have.” Lee was optimistic, though, that new showrunner Kristin Newman (Galavant, That ’70s Show) would be able to take the series in a more optimistic direction, as she replaces outgoing executive producer and co-creator Bob Kushell, saying that the five scripts he’s seen for upcoming episodes were encouraging.

"We have very high hopes for them and hope [the episodes are] going to be as good as the scripts were,” says ABC president Paul Lee.

Lets' hope it works.
