Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end and a lukewarm 7.0 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved The Muppet Show or Lizzie McGuire, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

The Muppets return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show. For the first time ever, a series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires. This is a more adult Muppet show, for “kids” of all ages.
