YESSSSSS

Thank you god, Disney has great celebrities to work with as guests and they just need someone funny leading the writing team like who ever made the 2010 Muppets film and we are good to go

I really hope they don’t try to complicate this. Just give us a Muppet version of SNL.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I hope it happens. The ABC reboot was underrated.

Another Muppet site was posting about it a few days ago, could be nothing so who knows.

I wonder if this might be for Disney+. Hopefully they do their best to capture the feel of the OG Muppets show.

Feels like it would be but we’ll see.

What I would want

Season 1 All about Skits, some interactions here and there between shows but make funny skits
Season 2 you can try and do more stuff like the Muppet tonight with things happening behind the scenes but start with basic funny ideas then go for the more meta jokes later

 

[bdubsCEO]

Can’t wait to see Muppets who don’t sound anything like the Muppets spam surface level jokes and references to Disney, Star Wars, Fox and everything else they’re trying to push in their conglomerate in a 5-6 episode season because this is streaming TV and nothing is allowed to be longer than like, a movie and a half

 

[TheUniC6]

Disney has long kept dropping the ball on the Muppets. I just hope they will stick the landing this time and it will last more than 1 season.

I love that they keep trying with The Muppets. I'm actually a huge Muppet stan. I loved the recent Electric Mayhem show.. Loved the ABC show from a few years back. And then Muppets Tonight was the variety from the 90s too which I liked it.

The only one I wasn't too keen on was the recent Muppets Now. The format didn't really work.

 

[Jake S]

I actually think the Muppets stuff released during the Disney era has been mostly good to very good. Now, has it been promoted properly? That's another issue and is something (IMO) Disney has been poor at for many, many years.

 

[GA-MBIT]

I'm ... interested, but I just wonder if the audience VS budget balance will ever be right for this brand again. It's a relatively niche interest that requires a lot of resources.

There are SEVERAL people I would love to see guest star on a modern Muppet Show.

In no particular order:

Lin Manuel Miranda
Weird Al
Billie Eilish
Channing Tatum
Seth Rogan
Seth McFarland
Aubrey Plaza
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (they have to be together in this episode)
Patrick Stewart
Beyonce
Lady Gaga
Tom Holland
Tom Hiddleson
Michael B. Jordan
Peter Dinklage
Emma Stone
Anna Camp (where they keep mistaking her for Anna Kendrick)
Anna Kendrick (where they keep mistaking her for Anna Camp
Billy Joel
Billy Joe Armstrong
Adam Driver
Rachel Zegler
Daniel Radcliffe
Ryan Reynolds
Charlie Day
Lupita Nyong’o
Cynthia Erivo
Ariana Maddox
Liam Neeson

The list goes on…

And the thing is, I feel like skits, vignettes and musical numbers in the classic Muppet Show style are pretty approachable with a list like this. And, more importantly, I feel like this entire list would be ALL IN ON WORKING WITH THE MUPPETS!

Give me a Veternarian's Hospital with Billy Joel. I don't know why but I need it.

 

[Legacy]

I just need Taylor and Miss Piggy fighting over Travis while Sweetums, Bobo, Scooter, Pepe, and Fozzie try to get with Taylor by all acting like goofy football players.

EDIT - I need Uncle Deadly doing Bad Guy!
