Mitchell Stein- Now that the first half of The Muppets first season is over, what are we left to do with these few long weeks as we eagerly await Episode 11? Multiple rewatches, ranking, and nitpicking the best and worst episodes, of course! Some episodes hit it rough and some worked marvelously, but The Muppets…
Mitchell Stein- Have you ever wanted to get the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with a live Muppet? Well, chances are you are with the majority of Muppet fans who haven’t quite got that amazing opportunity in person just yet. Luckily enough though, Disney Interactive is here to fix that.

Mitchell Stein- Just when you thought this show couldn’t possibly have gotten any better: It gets better.

Mitchell Stein- Right off the top, can we all agree that this episode is by far the most entertaining, zany and most importantly- Muppety episode yet? I couldn’t be more super delighted by how this episode turned out. As we could generally find points or elements that would normally feel out of place, I’d say…
Mitchell Stein- If you’ve been following our social media accounts or reading up on our reviews of The Muppets in recent weeks, you’ll be aware that we’re pretty upset about that new Muppet show. Not of the quality or the format, but of the fact that a good friend of ours has been completely absent…
Just this Monday, I wrote a piece on the news of great news of the three episode pickup bringing The Muppets to sixteen episodes, however with the news of the departure of the lead co-creator, executive producer and showrunner, that speculation has slightly altered with this surprising news that broke the internet this morning. But…
Mitchell Stein-Being a Muppet fan is tough business. While The Muppets are a strong franchise with major brand recognition, it doesn’t quite match the security of Disney’s other multi-billion dollar franchises, namely Marvel and Star Wars.
