ABC's new Muppets may never fully ascend/rebound into anything truly great, but "Got Silk?" was a good example of how letting sweetness guide the story rather than full-fledged strife is the best course for the series. Honestly, not all of this one landed, but the final five minutes involving Deadly trying to tell Piggy that he was her true friend - and then Piggy's delayed realization (during a duet with Ingrid Michaelson) that Deadly was her true friend - was great. As was the entire crew showing up for Deadly's small theater Clueless stage show! Very inspired.
So that whole payoff was satisfying. The ride, though? With Piggy insta-searching for a "normal" friend? It wasn't the best. Though, as I think I've mentioned in my past few reviews, I do love the show's midseason love affair with Deadly as one of the main characters. He was great tonight. Especially his fake emergency phone call from the show during the aerial aerobics class. From a "Jeremy Rosenstein." Demanding "fisticuffs." A true friend.

"Got Silk?" started to come around right at the end but the journey getting there felt off.
