It's "The Muppet Show!" Kermit, Miss Piggy and the beloved Muppet gang are back with a brand-new special event. Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos are bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter!

Critics Consensus

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights -- this spirited return to The Muppet Show's roots is clever, earnest, and feels exactly right.

It’s definitely a return to basics, and all the more joyous for it.

Hardly reinventing the wheel, but Seth Rogen clearly understands that the Muppet wheel doesn’t need reinventing. This is a smart, silly revival of our favourite fuzzy heroes, executed with craft and care. More, please!

The heart of “The Muppet Show” was always the Muppets themselves and the writers understand that, keeping the focus where it belongs.

It took 45 years, but seeing The Muppet Show back as if it never left is not only comforting and nostalgic, but it’s still really entertaining.

If this really is just a stand-alone special, it’ll go down as an entertaining entry on the Muppets’ long timeline of TV and movie projects—far more successful than that Office parody that was attempted a decade ago.

Funny and nostalgic, what more is there to say? I hope this does get the greenlight for a full rebooted series

So great! Amazing seeing Rizzo and Bean Bunny back in the mix! They did an incredible job of balancing so many characters in such a short amount of time. I’d love to see more episodes with maybe Anna Kendrick or Chris Pratt or Jeff Goldblum hosting.

It's like going home again. The best thing the Muppets have done since their Christmas Carol. Hearing that theme, just as I remember it...priceless!
