Kermit is,of course,squirming at Piggy’s questions. And the blonde diva makes sure every question is,in some way,about herself. Piggy comes out of the gate swinging, asking her beloved Kermy if she qualifies as the greatest performer he’s ever worked with. Kermit sheepishly answers “yes,” even though Elton John, Diana Ross, and Gene Kelly were guests on The Muppet Show.(Kermit isn’t dumb; Kermit wants to live.) Eventually, it’s Kermit’s time to turn the tables. Let’s just say Miss Piggy (whose full name she reveals as “Miss Pigaythia Lee”) gives responses that might qualify as “untruthful.”

For the past thirty years, Disney has tried to reinvent the Muppets for “modern audiences” to varying degrees of success. We loved the 2011 the Muppets movie, but for every one of those, Disney produced another undercooked attempt with the characters. As the new Muppet Show special proved, all people wanted was the classic series, but with modern celebrity guests. Hopefully, we get a whole lot more of this classic Muppets energy soon. Jim Henson’s beloved creations are easily the most undervalued assets in Disney’s library.
