Sgt Z Needs an upgrade, but It's a decent watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review AngrySonic B Muppets Now may not be the most memorable piece of Muppet media but there are enough laughs, fun segments and Muppets antics that make it a decent show. 7/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest Muppets TV series ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted, LOL. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Surely the writers aren't as empty headed as the puppets in the movie. The movie proves otherwise. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why Muppets Now has this many positive ratings. Everything about this show is wrong and honestly disgraceful to Jim Henson. Disney literally made this show just to cash in for their streaming service, not to mention it only lasted for 6 episodes which is obviously because it was a failure. First of all, this show has the Muppets way too modernized. The show takes place during the pandemic with the muppets usually quarantined in their own apartments and studios. Scooter is the one uploading the segments to a computer who's continuously getting interrupted in-between episodes. Kermit is the one directing Scooter to do the work. While this happening we see the muppets interacting with celebrities, and sometimes just each other. The way this is all setup is really cheap and will eventually feel dated. The Muppets are supposed to be timeless regardless of what era they're in. Second of all, the storyline of the episodes are really boring, unfunny, and the muppets are very out-of-character. As soon I saw Kermit photobombing I lost nearly all my hope in this series. And like everyone else is saying, his voice is completely off, Matt Vogel doesn't belong as the voice of Kermit the Frog, he voiced Constantine in Muppets Most Wanted which I feel like Disney forgot about. I totally respect Matt Vogel but constantly hearing him as Kermit is very distracting. Miss Piggy is also very annoying and overly aggressive, Fozzy never tells any jokes and instead interrupts everyone intentionally, the Swedish Chef segments are just disgusting, Pepe is annoying, and everyone else like Gonzo, Sam the Eagle, Walter, and the Electric Mayhem barely get any roles in the series. And when they do, it's not interesting. Lastly, the celebrities in this show makes this even more boring to watch. They feel very uninterested and awkward, the skits are once again not funny, and they get way too much screen time. This show focuses on the celebrities way too often with no actual story or working joke that calls it so. I couldn't even finish all 6 episodes for how poorly made this is. This is by far the worst Muppet production of all time, I would probably rather watch Elmo's World over this. This is just a disgraceful mess. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Riley F Muppets Now had great potential, but failed to show the Muppets chaotic charms with some formula like bits and unfunny moments. Athough, if you are a Muppets fan, it is something that can keep you busy for a bit. Also, if this reboot was to include some more live music performances like the original, it would probably be a lot better as those were some highlights of the show.
