Video: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter Teaser Trailer

[C to the J]

I’m wondering whether they’ll do a cold open with Scooter (S2-S4) or Pops (S5). Since this will be a ‘special,’ I’m sure there will be something far more different to acknowledge the show’s comeback. As for the opening sequence, what do you suppose they’ll do about Thog’s abnormally large size? I think they ought to either raise the height of the arches or revert him back to how he was in the ‘70s.

If there’s something I know about Sabrina Carpenter, it’s that she starred in Girl Meets World and is the voice of Melodie in Wander Over Yonder and Melissa Chase in Milo Murphy’s Law. So in some ways, she’s no stranger to family-friendly content.

I'm guessing that Scooter will do the cold open for the first time out, but if this goes to series, hopefully we'll see Pops (and Bobo!). "Muppets Tonight" had the right idea that not every episode had to have the same opening.

Great question about Thog. I have no clue! I guess we'll see.

I knew nothing about Sabrina Carpenter, but that's all very encouraging to know!

I have no idea what to expect of this. I would very much like this to succeed. At the same time, however, being that this will be Disney's The Muppet Show, I worry it won't have the same edge the original show did. I want to see chaos ensue like in the original series, but I'm worried Disney might tone that down. I also worry about Kermit. Bad voice aside, I feel like Disney wants to make Kermit more like Mickey Mouse. Not that Mickey Mouse is entirely a bad character, but the problem is that he's bland compared to Kermit. Kermit has more layers to him than Mickey, but it seems like Disney doesn't want to tap into that aspect of the character anymore. I hope I am wrong about all this, but we'll see what happens.
