“We’re doing the show again, Frog.”

Nobody put too much thought into reinventing the gonzo variety classic for its revival. That’s what makes it a delight.

The iconic 70s puppet show, The Muppet Show, dropped a special episode featuring Sabrina Carpenter on Disney+ yesterday, for their first appearance since 1981.

The one-off episode celebrates the series’ 50th anniversary with special guest (and Miss Piggy superfan) Sabrina Carpenter.

Miss Piggy is eyeing Ariana Grande for a Muppet collaboration as the legendary troupe celebrates fifty years of stardom.

Jim Henson’s Muppets have been entertaining children and adults alike for 50 years. And to celebrate that half-century of affable humor, Disney is throwing them a birthday party with The Muppet Show, an ABC/Disney+ special (February 4) that follows to the format of the classic TV series.

A day after the special made its streaming debut (via Disney+ subscription ), Sabrina Carpenter took to Instagram to spread the word, and all seemed well just looking at her message next to the video of her sharing a duet with Kermit the Frog. Check it out below, and don’t forget to keep reading when you’re done singing along.

Long after The Muppet Show ‘s original 120-episode run ended in 1981, the legend and legacy of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and other creations concocted by puppeteer and TV producer Jim Henson have kept on growing. Thanks to the Muppets’ film franchise and the wonders of YouTube, the wacky gang is still delighting and expanding its fan base.

You may have heard the refrain that we live in dark times. It is true. Just as true is that nothing is as effective at combatting darkness as joy. It is an emotion essential to the art of envisioning better things.

After countless failed gimmicks, this time it’s just like you remembered it.

The Muppets 50th anniversary special hits all the hallmarks — from Statler and Waldorf to the frazzled backstage crew — but doesn’t find anything new in the process.
