The Muppet Show turns 50 this year. To mark the occasion, Disney is bringing the series back next month, revived for a new generation under the direction of executive producer Seth Rogen.
Kermit the Frog moved over from Sesame Street, though he'd still show up there during the series' run (1976-81), and gained a new set of friends, from would-be standup comic Fozzie Bear and Scooter to vain Ms. Piggy (who'd eventually be Kermit's on-again, off-again girlfriend), Gonzo, and Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem.
The preview will air on ABC & Disney+ on Wednesday, February 4. Rogen pops up in the trailer.....
The original Muppet Show ran in syndication, and was a Monday night staple here in the 518. After ABC misfired with The Muppets (2015-6), they can't afford to duplicate that debacle.....
