Unto most every TV-watching generation, a new Muppets show is born. The original “Muppet Show,” which ran from 1976 to 1981, had Jim Henson’s felt puppets take over a vaudeville theater to perform songs, slapstick sketches and more unabashedly cheesy puns than its bewildered guests could count.
Each of the series’ recurring segments is anchored by both the most familiar Muppets and some furry faces that only diehards would know. Miss Piggy’s show focuses on beauty and wellness — more specifically, her own. Beaker and Professor Honeydew have a science- experiment show featuring alarmingly sentient A.I. sidekicks, while Kermit attempts a “Mup Close and Personal” interview series that inevitably falls apart as more and more Muppets keep interrupting to ask their own.
The most versatile segment is the one that, fittingly, slots the neatest into the YouTube genre from whence it came: cooking demos. “Okey Dokey” has Beverly Plume, a new turkey Muppet, learning how to cook a dish from a guest while the Swedish Chef throws together his own pot of chaos. With guests like actor Danny Trejo and chefs Carlina Will and Roy Choi, “Okey Dokey” introduces its audience to a wide range of cuisines while having a perfectly ridiculous time along the way.
“Muppets Now” is a smart enough update of the franchise that it should have no trouble satisfying longtime fans while converting new ones — which makes the fact of Disney Plus having precious little Muppets content even more disappointing. If someone watches “Muppets Now” and wants to check out more, the only other shows they can access on Disney Plus are “The Muppets.” and the recent uncanny- valley update of 1985’s “Muppet Babies” cartoon.
