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.

Who would have thought that one of the best things they could have done is just do The Muppet Show again.

“The Muppet Show” is zany and wholesome, and above all, brings genuine heart along with the humor, rather than succumbing to cynicism like so much of comedy today.

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.

A very fun return to form in the mode of the classic series. Host Sabrina Carpenter is a perfect host and all of her interactions with Miss Piggy are divine

You don’t really need to know anything about Sabrina Carpenter to laugh at her singing while kicking small rampaging muppets out of her way.

While Statler and Waldorf rip The Muppet Show in this new special, there is little to dislike in this trip down memory lane.

Wow! I was excited for this special and it did not disappoint. Felt just like season 6 of the original show. Had the same feel of original. Can't wait for an announcement of a new season.
