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.

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.

The world is just a better place with the muppets in it. It's not often a TV show brings me joy, but this special was that pure joy. Please Disney Don't Stop Them Now! Hoping for more of this show for years to come.

Fantastic - a true authentic reboot! Nostalgia was real for me, music, dad jokes, mom jokes, witty humor running gags, and feel good moments. Yayay!!
