Muppets Now (2020)
8/10
(Some of) The Muppets Are Back
25 August 2020
I've been a big fan of the Muppets since I was a kid and was so happy to see them return.

This is a fun, up to date way to introduce muppets to a new generation. The segments are funny (mostly) and the guests seem to have a great time working with the gang.

The new series is far from perfect. There are a lot of reviews slamming it for the voice of Kermit being wrong. They're right but while most people could do a better Kermit voice, it is far from being as bad as they say. There could be more variety as well. We see Swedish chef and miss piggy get segments every episode so far but have yet to see favourites such as fozzie, gonzo, electric mayhem and many others get more than 30 second cameos.

My only other criticism is that it could be a bit longer. With only enough time for 4 sketches, the episode is over too quickly for me. I want more! Add another sketch per episode, making them 30 mins instead of a standard TV 23.

I seem to have mentioned more faults than positives but if you're not too picky about your muppets, this is brilliant
