On February 4, The Muppet Show returns to the small screen after a hiatus of almost five decades. Produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg‘s Point Grey Pictures and featuring Coachella headliner Sabrina Carpenter, the special will coincide with the show’s 50th anniversary.
The original The Muppet Show ran for five seasons from 1976 to May 23, 1981, and is fondly remembered for its gleeful blend of vaudeville-style sketches, celebrity guest stars, and the signature anarchy. Week after week, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the rest of the troupe welcomed everyone from Elton John to Julie Andrews. The special aims to recapture the fun madhouse spirit that made the series a cultural touchstone that still resonates with audiences today.
But not everyone is fond of Jim Henson‘s felt creations.
