With a new generation of writers and puppeteers, this new iteration of The Muppet Show is just as delightful as the one that premiered 50 years ago. Go to Full Review

If The Muppet Show doesn’t get picked up for a full season, then at the very least Pigs In Wigs deserves a shot. Go to Full Review

Barak F @Barak 10h Just a delight, laughter and nostalgic sighs start to finish. The show feels both loyal to the original and current. I do admit that young kids may be a bit bored, but I am guessing they are not the intended audience, Please make this into a full time series. See more Anmar Q. @NyDoctor 12h Just AMAZING, they did the job so perfect that it just felt that the show never stopped before!! See more J J @Yeshovohe 1d Snore fest, my kid hated it, I was not entertained. The music artist was not for young children. Child much more enjoyed earlier Muppet presentations and we turned it off and watched the movie The Muppets which they found much more interesting. See more Samantha C @Sammie007 1d This is a FANTASTIC show! I LOVED every minute of it. It made me so HAPPY! 😁. It was nostalgic for me. I use to watch the Muppet show growing up. I am a HUGE Jim Henson fan. I hope this show continues. I LOVE ❤️Kermit the frog 🐸 and all the other Muppet characters. The world is in need of all the happiness and laughs it can get. This show provides a wonderful distraction for everything that is bad in the world right now. I highly recommend everyone watches it. You won't be disappointed. I promise. You will ENJOY the funny skits. 🐷 See more Jonathan 1d The Muppets are back and better than ever. My family watched the show, and we loved it. The humor, the happiness, the essence of the Muppets are back!! As a Muppet Head,d I have seen the Muppets evolve when I was about 7 years-old I saw the 2011 The Muppets, and I fell in love with the franchise. I knew about Kermit's voice being changed to Matt Vogel's. I thought it sounded off, but then I saw the Gem of the Muppet Special, and I think the voice is growing on me. I have very little Cretics on the show, the only ones I really had were here, here should be real laughter in the show because that's the whole thing about the Muppets, they make people laugh. I don't really like the special guest Sabrina Carpenter, but she was alright, and I think Steve Whitmire & Frank Oz should train the next generation of Muppet Puppets. This show was a gem and carried the essence of the Muppets while adding new things, and my young brother thinks it should be renewed for 5 seasons. God Bless You all. See more W @Tezzasaurus 2d The Muppet Show is the TV return that maybe we all need right now. A total hoot from start to finish, with Sabrina Carpenter and Seth Rogan gamely playing along with all the chaos. Forget Bridgerton - Pigs in Wigs is without doubt the finest Regency-era drama that you will every see, whilst the sight of Beaker's eyes popping out had the whole family chuckling away. In a time with so much 'dark' morbid TV out there, the simple silliness of the Muppet Show is its biggest selling point. A show which the whole family can enjoy. Sure, for those of us who can remember the original series and films, Kermit's new voice takes some getting used to, and I wish they would address this issue .... but if that's my only gripe, then it's no biggy. Thank you Disney for giving us this little bundle of joy again. We're looking forward to more 👍 See more Read all reviews
