2021 Year In Review: Old Gonzo, Muppet Murals and Mo Frackle

Published: December 29, 2021
Categories: Feature

Was it possible that 2021 was somehow more chaotic than 2020? Vaccinations, insurrections, other words than end with ‘tion’ presumably. It was a massive year for us here at ToughPigs too, as we not only merged with The Muppet Mindset but launched several podcasts and celebrated 20 years of the site!

It was a year for The Muppets too, with Muppets Haunted Mansion being released, The Muppet Show finally debuting on Disney+, Dinosaurs launching there too, the new Fraggle Rock getting a trailer, and Sesame Street introducing some new diverse Muppets.

So let’s go through month by month, article by article, word by word, letter by lett– sorry, I’m being advised that that’s too much, and to stick with month by month. Pfft, fine, but don’t blame me if you miss the letter Q in that article from September.
