While Disney+ has a couple of big brands in the form of Marvel and Star Wars, it also doesn’t do a great job of selling itself for more general content. Hulu’s got tons of that, and has been a consistent money-maker for Disney because of it. Smooshing makes sense.

I have fond memories of watching MTV2 decades ago. It was so funny to me that the music videos on music television weren’t even on MTV1 anymore, except the 10 most popular ones (and even then only a minute or two!). MTV2 meanwhile would not only show videos but they’d show ANY videos. Remember that garage rock revival…

wouldn’t youtube be much easier for that and have a much broader range and all kinds of curation for playlists?

My partner jokes that I am like, the only person who watches MTV Classic, which in fact plays nothing but videos in hour-long blocks. It’s good background noise and/or fun for the “oh yeah, I remember that video!” moments.

The AV Club: “Well... if you insist.”

Bring back the goddamn videos.

Is The AV Club writing the clickbait now too?

That IS an odd complaint. Especially given the history of the gang. Rowlf was the OG and there were coffee commercial and SNL Muppets before Kermit was the main guy.

The Muppets have a weird thing of rewriting their own history. The Muppet Movie has one story, The Muppets Take Manhattan another, Muppet Babies yet another. In fact, I think that was inspired by a scene in one of the movies where Miss Piggy imagines how it would have been to have known Kermit as a child (implying she…

It's just the inverse of the original. I had no idea who people like Zero Mostel were when I was a kid, but I still enjoyed the shows when they were the guests.

...and Floyd reared baby Animal.

Exactly. It’s “Master of Puppets.”

Um...that song is not called “Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters.”

My only fear with this is spending lots of time with the human characters. A Muppets show should really star THEM. That, plus I’ll feel old when I don’t recognize the modern music celebrity cameos.

I’m excited, and not just for myself; my developmentally-delayed son is REALLY into the Muppets, and I can’t wait to show him this.

“Jameela Jamil applauds Janice’s refusal to get naked for anyone, even if it is ‘artistic’”

Here is hoping they include Janice’s weird thing about constantly being the last person talking when they all speak at once and winding up wildly off tangent talking about nudism for some reason.

That ABC show was underrated. It wasn’t great at the beginning, sure, but it found its way eventually-- just in time for cancellation.

“I think of the words of Shakespeare where he once said, ‘The play is the thing.’ Well, I don’t wanna put words in his mouth or anything, but I think what he really meant was, ‘It’s everything.’”

I’m glad it is an issue. Doing this helps writers on other shows, too.
