I've seen that Muppets 3D film. It is a little intense. I'd have to look up the timing, but that may have been the first produced thing after Jim, though he might have been involved in setting it up. This was just as Disney made a huge offer to buy the Muppets, but Jim hadn't given the full ok at that point.
I don't want to say that The Muppet Show was perfect. There were some clunky episodes for sure. But the reason it worked was because the characters were well defined and there were actual storylines. And the fact that it was basically an old Vaudeville style variety show was the perfect touch.
It's great that Saki likes the Muppets, and interesting that he doesn't like the post Jim material. Your son is a visionary!
