I've never liked Pepe. Especially when he'd show up on the bonus features for old Muppet things he wasn't even in. He actually grew on me during this show... but towards the end of the season I started disliking him again. It just annoys me that Rizzo and Pepe have gotten so much screentime, when Gonzo has gotten basically nothing to do and he's an original Muppet who's even still played by his original puppeteer.
Pepe's schtick works fine in small doses h'okay.
I also dislike Sam the Eagle but only on this show. The writers seemed like they didn't have a good idea of what to do with his character and he just became kind of sad and creepy. They could've done SO MUCH with his character in this day and age (third time I've used that phrase today, what is wrong with me??), being all about standards and practices and America. They kind of turned him just into some guy who had a hopeless crush on Janice and nothing else.
And this has more to do with the other thread, but I was really not expecting Big Mean Carl to turn into my favorite character.
