All Five Seasons of THE MUPPET SHOW are Coming To Disney+ in February!
I’ve got some exciting news for all of you Muppet fans out there! Jim Henson’s original 1970s variety series The Muppet Show is coming to Disney+ next month in February! I loved watching this show when I was growing up and it’s been years since I’ve watched any episodes from it. In fact, I haven’t watched this series since I was a kid.
All five seasons of the series will be made available to watch. Season four and season five have never been released on home entertainment before, so this is going to be a first for that, which is really cool!
The Muppet Show stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, the Swedish Chef, and more in a “groundbreaking twist on the classic variety show, blending original songs, sketch comedy, and guest stars into a prime-time hit for all ages.”
The Muppet Show originally premiered in 1976 and it included special guests that included Steve Martin, Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Alice Cooper, Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Gene Kelly, and Mark Hamill.
Kermit the Frog said in a statement:
"It's going to be great to welcome back longtime fans, and to give a new generation of fans a chance to see how we got our start, how Miss Piggy became a star and so much more. Today, I’m proud to say: ‘It’s time to play the music, light the lights and meet the Muppets on Disney Plus tonight!’ And as for Statler and Waldorf, the two old guys in the balcony, I can only add: ‘Sorry, guys, but….here we go again.”
The Muppet Show will be released on Disney+ Friday, February 19th, and I can’t wait to revisit the series after all these years.
