Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

I'm really surprised Frank is so active on Twitter.

He's got a fair amount of time on his hands I assume.

Honestly they should try to focus on more clothing and small things to slowly bring back the Muppets

That, and have some type of presence on social media. I mean Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy, Gonzo, and Animal all have Facebook and Twitter accounts, and they share mostly old stock photos from previous productions but that's about it. Even though they were not very good they had the Muppet thought of the week. Now they dont really have much of anything.

The Muppets appeared on Carpool Karaoke recently. Does that count as anything new?

Short answer yes. It counts. It is a popular feature of a popular show, although one on a hard to find platform.

I find it odd that with politics being hotter than ever, Sam Eagle is no where to be seen.

I'd love to see that. But then you'd have the annoying fans who would be like "ugh, quit shoving politiks on da Muppets!!!!111!!!!"

I think some viral videos are needed to keep the Muppets in the public like have the Swedish Chef in a Bob Ross parody.

Oh god, the Swedish Chef trying to do an ASMR voice...

They could do onion style news. Stuff that is totally made up with no real world connections. Heck, Sam is a bird... right wing and left wing puns write them selves.
