The makeup has been applied. The lights have been lit. It’s finally time to raise the curtain, get things started, and welcome The Muppet Show to Disney+.
Yes, The Muppet Show is on Disney+. 118 out of 120 classic episodes are now available for you to watch any time you want. They’re just… there. Waiting for you to hit play on Kermit and Fozzie and Marvin Suggs and Dr. Strangepork. But also, Mark Hamill and Lola Falana and Harry Belafonte and Rita Moreno.
Honestly, I’m just so excited for all of us. Whether we’re seeing some of these episodes for the first time, introducing them to our friends and family, or revisiting our favorite Muppet moments, it’s a guarantee that we’re bound to create some new and lovely memories.
I won’t bore you too much with my thoughts and feelings about The Muppet Show. Frankly, there is a better way you can be spending your time rather than reading this article. But before you close this window and bring up Disney+, we wanted to remind you of some recent articles that may help you in your journey through The Muppet Show:
Over the past five years, we’ve been reviewing The Muppet Show episodes (almost) exactly 40 years after they originally aired. While we’re almost done with the series, you can follow along with your rewatch of the show while using our reviews as an informal episode guide.
If you choose to start watching with episode #1, we have a quick reminder for you. Season 1 is… different. Best to know about these things before you start canceling your Disney+ subscription over Piggy’s “wrong” voice and the lack of Beaker.
As you scroll through the episode thumbnails, you may not recognize or care about some of the guest stars. We wrote this article to remind you that even the least recognizable episodes are worth revisiting.
Finally, if you simply don’t know where to start, the ToughPigs crew got together to create the ultimate Top 10 episodes list. They may not line up with your personal Top 10, but that’s the great thing about The Muppet Show: Every episode is great.
Okay, stop reading ToughPigs and go watch The Muppet Show on Disney+!
