It’s time to play the music, It’s time to light the lights, It’s time to meet the Muppets on ‘The Muppet Show’ tonight!.. Well, February actually, but great news still! Disney+ will be adding all 5 seasons of the original, beloved and iconic, series to the streaming service from Friday, 19th February 2021.
‘The Muppet Show’ stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, the Swedish Chef, and more in a groundbreaking twist on the classic variety show, blending original songs, sketch comedy, and guest stars into a prime-time hit for all ages. This will be the first time the 4th and 5th seasons have ever been released on any form of home entertainment viewing.
“It’s going to be great to welcome back longtime fans, and to give a new generation of fans a chance to see how we got our start, how Miss Piggy became a star and so much more,” commented host and star Kermit the Frog. “Today, I’m proud to say: ‘It’s time to play the music, light the lights and meet the Muppets on Disney Plus tonight!’ And as for Statler and Waldorf, the two old guys in the balcony, I can only add: ‘Sorry, guys, but….here we go again.”
