‘The Muppet Show’ Is Back to Distract You From ‘Day-to-Day Terrors’

Jim Henson’s Muppets have been entertaining children and adults alike for 50 years. And to celebrate that half-century of affable humor, Disney is throwing them a birthday party with The Muppet Show, an ABC/Disney+ special (February 4) that follows to the format of the classic TV series.

Part tribute, part soft relaunch intended to gauge interest in a full season reboot, this charming return engagement melds the old with the new with great gonzo (or is that Great Gonzo?) flair.
