Having that dated in January seemed a little off, since social distancing wasn't as prevalent then compared to March, but that's minor. Joe from Legal - I hope he's part of the show! Bring on new Muppisodes!

Another new little sneak peak:

I didn't remember that the show = shorts for some reason. Regardless, super excited for new Muppets content!

Interesting article.

It’s Time to Re-Re-Re-Meet the Muppets

^ Thank you for posting that!!!! So, that confirms that it's like The Muppet Show, with different sketches. Awesome! I was worried when the other video mentioned shorts. I'm sad it'll only be 6 episodes, but I'm glad the article mentioned more Muppets stuff is in the works!!

Clip:

^ The clip wasn't bad, but not the greatest thing, but reading (below) that the segment (Piggy's and Kermit's web series talk show) as a whole is pretty good makes me feel good.

Here's a very positive review!

And a couple mixed ones:

I know the 1st episode premieres today so hopefully I'll watch it this weekend!

So I watched the first episode to see if there were any guest celebrities, and indeed there were, including Taye Diggs, Linda Cardellini and RuPaul. So yes, this show follows tradition with guest celebrities. I can't wait to see who will be in the next episode. Oh, and Walter is back, too.

I loved the first episode!

I'm so glad they are doing this new show with the Muppets.

I'm halfway through Episode 3, and not every single sketch is LOL funny, but most of them are. The Muppet Labs segment is really clever; I like the chalk drawings in it. Okey Dokey Cookin has some funny moments, too. Pepe's Game Show might be the funniest, but Miss Piggy's Lifesty(le) has funny moments. The first episode's Muppet Masters with Kermit was funny. All in all, it's funny, and all of it is definitely entertaining. I want Season 2 for sure!

The hubs and I still need to finish the season, so I haven't seen this yet, but:

Disney+ Forgot to Remove VFX Watermark From Muppets Now Finale
https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/amp/news ... sney-plus/

That is so unprofessional! I hope they replace the footage. This is the 2nd instance this has happened. Disney also forgot to remove a watermark from Kingdom Hearts 3.

I noticed that immediately when I watched the episode and I almost wondered if it was meant to be a joke, knowing the Muppet style of comedy. But, no, that's the name of a real editing program. I understand everyone is at home right now (the Scooter segments were even filmed in lockdown, I believe), but it's still such a strange thing to go through in the released episode.

Although I didn't find it too distracting, because in-universe, Scooter is shown to have computer problems and he doesn't even check the videos before uploading them. So we can blame Scooter for this mishap.

I didn't notice the watermark, but I guess they removed? Or I just didn't notice it.

I just finished the series. I'm sad that it was so short, but I really enjoyed it. In Ep. 5, during Lifestyle with Miss Piggy, when she was feeding Fifi...that was funny. And Ep. 6, with Mup Close & Personal with Seth Rogan- that was HILARIOUS!!!
