The Muppet Show is being brought back with our very special guest star, Sabrina Carpenter!
And rather than getting a full season of 24 episodes, it’s a one off special. Oh well, it took the original show two pilot episodes to get picked up for a proper run. Kinda crazy it took Disney so long to decide to go back to The Muppet Show format
My friend got to watch this early the other day and he really liked it :3
I didn’t know who Sabrina Carpenter was so I looked her up on Wikipedia…and I still don’t know who Sabrina Carpenter is beyond “singer/actor”. LOL!
But I do know the Muppets, having watched them my entire lifetime (from the very beginning, in fact!). I’m excited about that!
I mean to be fair not knowing the very special guest makes it pretty accurate to the original series! At least for me. The original Muppet Show was a few decades before my time so when I watched it I had no idea who someone like George Burns, Ethel Merman, or Liberace were.
That was a strength though of the original series. You really didn’t need to know who the heck the people were because they always managed to come up with some interesting musical performance or funny comedy bit involving them and the Muppet cast.
There are very few of the original Muppet Show guest stars I don’t know, although when they first ran I didn’t. The Muppet Show is slightly younger than I am so when I was watching it before the age of 5 or so, it was more for the Muppets than the guests.
People today complaining about pronouns on a desktop name tag in the He-Man trailer, while for 50 years we’ve been watching a prima donna pig try to fuck a frog. The world has changed.
People are complaining about that? I thought it was actually a clever way of implementing the “He-Man” name without resorting to extremely outdated modes of speech from the 40s or something… so yeah, of course they’re complaining about it.
Alistair Duncan is returning as Mimir! On TV! 
Hell yes, Brrr~other!!
I forgot how much I liked Chief Inspector Keto from Man in the High Castle.
Fallout Season 2 has concluded.
Kinda gotta get the big one out of the way.
Season 2 really played it safe on the canonizing of the events of Fallout New Vegas. What I mean by this is all Factions both major and minor exist in Season 2 with no definitive ending being drawn.
rather it’s handled in a way where any of them can be canon. Theres arguments in the usage of Robert House, but given the no stones unturned nature of the character it was a given he’d appear in Artificial Intelligence form.
Season 3 seems to be shaping up to Focus on Colorado, Super Mutants, and the Enclave. While Focusing on the Legion/New Vegas stuff aswell.
in general Season 2 was enjoyable, but it quickly gets disjointed due to the various plots going on.
Vault Dwellers, Cooper (pre war and post war), Lucy, Maximus, and Norm. Just a lot going on that the show lacks focus.
Worth a watch.
The Muppet Show revival special with Sabrina Carpenter released yesterday, and it was fantastic!
What I love about it is they didn’t change the format at all, the guest gets a few songs and comedy bits, but there’s still a wide variety of other Muppet acts, including classic ones like The Great Gonzo and Muppet Labs. They even made sure to include details like Kermit and Fozzie moving in the intro to not be covered by the sign and a Statler and Waldorf joke after the credits! I’m honestly surprised they decided to keep the laugh track too, but it’s more subtle and pretty well implemented.
What I like is that they didn’t just try to do a bunch of “remember this?” moments. Like there’s a bunch of fun cameos like Mahna Mahna and the Snowths, but I’m so glad they didn’t try to rehash their song again and instead did more original stuff while keeping the format faithful. Plus it’s cool seeing Muppets like Pepe the King Prawn and Bobo the Bear who were too new to appear on the original Muppet Show!
And my favorite part is that Seth Rogen didn’t try to insert himself into the show a ton!
The bottom line is I really enjoyed it, so hopefully Disney actually funds a proper full season of revival episodes (of course nowadays a “full season” is like 8 episodes that take two years to make)
I NEED MORE WONDER MAN ARRRGHHH 
What a fantastic grounded show. All about a guy trying to make it big as an actor, while also keeping his secret superpowers under wraps. A couple tiny issues I had with one or two events, but maaaan that ending… I want MOOOOREEE…
I’ve also started watching the show Interior Chinatown. A great meta-comedy series spoofing Law and Order police procedurals, and a great message so far about certain people being stuck in certain roles, needing to slowly work their way up to get any recognition, will have more to say later I think.
In other news, cool, but a little too late now Netflix! They’ll be filming the broadway play in mid february.
