When I first saw the Muppets 10 minute presentation pilot on ABC’s YouTube channel, I thought it was decent. I liked it. Not sure why ABC eventually took it down. Quite frankly, it’s nowhere to be found on Disney Plus. But then when I watched the actual series, it got so boring. I literally turned the channel. It could’ve been much better. The fact that Muppets Tonight actually lasted two seasons says a lot. Even Muppets Now wasn’t entertaining for me. Don’t know what will come out of this new Muppet Show pilot but I won’t hold my breath any further.
This seems to be the the opinion of everyone here including me.

Definitely not. I was a big fan of the 2015 series. It was not perfect, but it had some incredible moments.

As far as this new series go, do we know if this is a one-off special or a full show?

it’s apparently a back door pilot so if it’s successful there will be more episodes made, also what I meant by my comment was all of us in this thread are wishy washy about the new project I was not talking about the 2015 series it was a miscommunication.

Geez! Such negativity! I hope I wasn’t the only one that’s excited! I mean, I’m not crazy with Sabrina Carpenter, but I don’t hate her.

To be fair, given how poorly Disney has treated the Muppets over the years, many of us aren’t enthusiastic or interested in this new special. Nothing about it seems promising to me, and I won’t be watching it.
I have nothing against Sabrina Carpenter, but her inclusion in this special feels like a desperate attempt to keep the Muppets relevant.

I understand what you mean, but I'm not giving up hope for Disney continuing with the Muppets. Besides, I'm trying to avoid saying it's the end of the Muppets nonsense!
True it was fire, will forever be mad at that cliffhanger.
I know what you mean. I hate it when it got cancelled and end it in the cliffhanger. Worst than to be continued!
