Few franchises understand the value of joy as instinctively as The Muppet Show. With its new teaser, Disney+ signals a return to playful chaos, heartfelt absurdity, and a brand of humor that never talks down to its audience.
The teaser doesn’t reveal much — and it doesn’t need to. Familiar energy, musical flair, and gentle self-awareness are enough to re-establish the Muppets’ timeless appeal. In a media landscape often dominated by irony, their sincerity feels refreshingly bold.
What makes The Muppet Show endure is its inclusivity. The humor works for children and adults alike, not by flattening its tone, but by embracing layers. Silly on the surface, surprisingly insightful underneath.
As comfort viewing becomes increasingly valuable, this revival feels perfectly timed. Sometimes, the most radical thing television can do is simply make people smile.
