Posted on Thursday, March 11th, 2021 by Josh Spiegel A few weeks ago, Disney+ took a big step forward in terms of what shows it presents to audiences worldwide. Although most audiences were spending each Friday talking about the latest installment of WandaVision, that nine-episode limited series pales in comparison to the long-awaited arrival of The Muppet Show. All five seasons of the late-1970s variety show (save for two episodes from the fifth season) are available to stream on Disney+, with only a handful of episodes being slightly shortened due to music clearance rights. With The Muppet Show back in the news – for good reasons and for obnoxious ones, such as some commentators performatively getting mad about content warnings – it’s easy to wish that Disney would revive the series to a 21st-century audience.
