Seth Rogen was smart enough to realize that The Muppet Show was never broken; it didn't need fixing. It just needed to come back to television. He has executed a loving and faithful revival with The Muppet Show.

This isn't the first reincarnation of Jim Henson's crew, but it's one of the best in a very long time. Seth Rogen is an executive producer, and Maya Rudolph and Sabrina Carpenter guest star.
"The Muppet Show" is set to return to screens this week in a special event with Sabrina Carpenter celebrating its 50th anniversary.
In the new Disney+ The Muppet Show special, one of our favorite Muppets gets to return to the spotlight after some time away.
