The first episode had a style segment with Miss Piggy, a cooking segment with the Swedish Chef, an offbeat how-to kind of thing with Kermit and Walter, and an interview with Ru Paul.
I laughed out loud quite a few times and was pleasantly surprised with how faithful I thought it was to the tone the Muppets are supposed to strike. Gets an A from me and I'll be excited to see the upcoming weekly episodes.
