Muppets Now

The Muppets have had a hard time finding creative footing since Jim Henson died in the 1990s. Their output is generally hit and miss, and sometimes veers too far in trying to be trendy and "relevant." This new series is-- judging by the first episode-- harmless and pleasant, but not exactly mindblowing. The celebrity guests are rather uneven when it comes to improv skill, and the skits themselves are just okay. I'll watch more episodes before I write it off though.

Also suffers from the issue of attempting to be too grounded in modern day human life. One of the charms of the original show was crazy antics. Cartoonish absurdism. When you try to ground everything muppet into the human world, rather than grounding humans in the muppet world, it looses that.

I got a few nice laughs from the first episode, and it's better than the last effort (although that also had it's moments), it also suffers from some of the same issues. It feels toned down, sedate.

This show should not exist, it is but a disgrace to the original muppets tv series, The Muppets was meant to be filmed like a Talk/Sketch show and it shouldve stayed like that and it makes me think they think im stupid, its completely appaling that such a show could find itself on our beautiful disney plus

MUPPET babies 2018 is better it has charm, i hope this gets better in time LOL 😂

Bros this Muppets Now Is boring, dull, slow, and for the most part, a cliche and lifeless reboot. 1/10
