We visited the set of The Muppets in 2015, and wrote about it in 2016. 12 hours later some people at Disney made us take it down.
But now it’s 4.5 years later, the show was cancelled, and they’re all gone. So, we’re re-publishing it now!
This post was written by our pal Kieran Moore, usually responsible for our weekly Top 10 Lists. The cheesy Photoshop jobs were done by our own Jarrod Fairclough. Kieran Moore – Picture the scene – it’s a hot, sweaty Thursday afternoon and there are rumblings in the courthouse that something is about to happen. The jury…
Jarrod Fairclough – Yesterday our fears were realized, as ABC announced that they had cancelled The Muppets after one season. Obviously the entire Muppet fan community is saddened and disappointed at the lack of faith that ABC showed in the series, which, while not necessarily perfect in it’s original incantation, had improved significantly in its second half.…
Mitchell Stein- Last week I sat down with the wonderfully talented and hilarious Kristin Newman, who I’m certain Muppet fans are absolutely familiar with at this point. Kristin joined The Muppets team in December with writing elements of the Christmas episode, Single All the Way. Newman then took over as showrunner when the show returned from…
Jarrod Fairclough – Team Love. Team Friendship. Since Kermit and Miss Piggy split in August last year its a real battle that’s been fought between divided Muppet fans. And on Tuesday night the whole thing finally came to a head, as Kermit and Piggy debated the issues in their heads. When we left our review yesterday,…
Jarrod Fairclough – 20 minutes and 24 seconds in to last night’s ‘Generally Inhospitable’, three single words were uttered that had been coming from the very first second of Episode 1. It was three words that audiences had been dying to hear since the August announcement that Kermit and Miss Piggy had ended their relationship, and…
Jarrod Fairclough – If you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr, you’ll notice that we’ve teamed up with our best frenemies over at ToughPigs to get the hashtag #RenewTheMuppets trending. It’s our way of helping ensure that The Muppets is given a second season after it finishes with a double episode tonight at 8/7c on ABC.…
Jarrod Fairclough – Back in August last year, the internet went in to meltdown when it was announced that Kermit and Miss Piggy had ended their relationship. While there was a lot of table flipping and over used ‘grave turning’ comments, I also saw a lot of people remarking that both the frog and the pig…
Jarrod Fairclough – I’ve spoken a lot about this ‘retool’ that The Muppets has undergone in the second part of its first season, so it would be pointless for me to harp on about the specifics again. However, there is one particular change that I was excited to hear about, and that this episode tackled head…
Jarrod Fairclough – After close to 2 months on hiatus, The Muppets returned last night, with audiences getting their first look at the new ‘retooled’ series under show runner Kristen Newman. Since the announcement of the ‘reboot’, there was tonnes of speculation online about what exactly this would entail. Some assumed it would revert back to The Muppet Show,…
