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.

Pop singer comedienne Sabrina Carpenter is the guest star, a most appropriate choice.

“The Muppet Show,” it turns out, doesn’t need to be retooled for a new era, because the Muppets exist outside of time. These are, in fact, your grandparents’ Muppets, and your parents’. And yet they’re exactly the Muppets you need right now.

The special is unapologetically nostalgic and gloriously so.

It looks and feels so much like The Muppet Show that I worry parents won’t realize their kids are being fed a steady stream of sexualization.

Simply want to say, I would love to get more of this. Seth Rogen is great and I appreciate it if he got this back but please bring Jason Segel and Walter back in some how

This is a true revamp of the original show. It's entertaining, light and funny. It's something we can watch as a family. Look forward to more laughs.

This needs to be a regular series. It matches the tone and goofiness of the original but still was it own thing. Perfection.

I've been saying for years, the best way to bring back The Muppets, is to bring back The Muppet Show. It was great and emotional seeing the opening theme again. Everything about it worked, bring on new seasons! Theres so many things they can do now. "What better place could anyone be?" Im front of my TV watching the new Muppet Show!
