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.

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.

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

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

The long-awaited return of this nostalgic favorite perhaps doesn't live up to the incredible hype, but it's fun nonetheless.
