"They were happy tears, though, pulled deep from the most nostalgic corner of my heart, because as so many ( including myself) have noted, the secret to recapturing the magic of Jim Henson's The Muppet Show is to just do The Muppet Show. And that's what we get here! Not every sketch is perfect, but the vibe definitely is, and the Muppets are treated like the loveable stars they are."
"I finally signed up for a PBS Passport account recently - really, shame on me for not doing so sooner, especially because it's easy and public media matters. I believe that with my whole being, but I also confess that my specific motivation was wanting to watch Mark Gatiss and Polly Walker investigate murders with a gleeful twinkle in their eyes. Set in the immediate aftermath of World War II, this Gatiss-created series has a bit of Sherlock DNA in it"
Disney+ hosts a revival of The Muppet Show featuring Sabrina Carpenter and executive production by Seth Rogen. The revival focuses on faithfully recreating Jim Henson’s original tone, often evoking strong nostalgia and treating the Muppets as beloved stars despite some uneven sketches. PBS Passport offers Bookish, a Mark Gatiss-created series set immediately after World War II that pairs Mark Gatiss and Polly Walker investigating murders with a playful, Sherlock-like energy. KPop Demon Hunters directors Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang provide additional streaming suggestions, and the Muppet revival invites requests for more episodes.
