The Muppets Mayhem

THIS IS AWESOME. Lots of jokes referring to older Muppet movies; suitable for kids but with enough adult-ish jokes that kids won't catch. So many times when I literally laughed out loud, plus a few times when I teared up. Great cameos, much like old-school Muppet movies. I subtracted one star because this would only be more perfect if Jim Henson were alive to involved in it... I love that this still gives vibes of his work, unlike that disaster adult Muppets show a few years back. Also, if you know anything about the music industry, that makes it even better. I sat down to watch 1-2 eps and wound up binging 4. If you remember 70s-80s Muppets, you should at least like this, if not love it.

This is a near perfect tribute to the Electric Mayhem and the Muppets. After a lot of lackluster attempts to bring the Muppets to the tv and theater, this one knocked it out of the park. There are a lot of throwbacks that any Muppet fan from the better days (aka the originals to the 90s) will love the references, some great jokes and sentimental moments that will have you laughing and/or crying, or both even, and a storyline that just works so well. The actors all did a great job portraying their characters and, even though "Can You Picture That" didn't sound like it did back in the original Muppets movie, it still rocked like usual. I would highly recommend this show to any Muppet fan and any potential Muppet fan. Adam Goldberg and Jeff Yorkes did a fantastic job with this show and I hope we get more of this and/or more shows/movies like this.

Muppets now was great but was way too choppy and forcing an old horse to do new tricks. We wanted the old horse. The muppets are timeless. As seen in this show we're reminded as to why we should just let the people involved in the muppets do their thing and not force outside perspectives on it. I hope the muppets continue down this path as having some of the puppeteers invloved in writing has greatly improved things. I liked muppets now but it seemed more like a youtube video. This feels more like a show and i look forward to all the muppet shows and movies that can be made. Jim hensons vision lives on through his friends.

==-SPOILER FREE REVIEW-==

Ever since it first got announced, and especially when the full trailer got released in April, I have been absolutely ecstatic with anticipation for The Muppets Mayhem.

The last few hours I've dedicated my time to binging the series, and it does not disappoint.

Whether this is the first Muppets show you've ever watched or if you've been watching since The Muppet Show in 1976, you're bound to get a kick out of this series.

It's light-hearted, funny, and with all the issues in the world right now The Muppets Mayhem provides a great break from everything.

And if you're an older fan, you'll definitely get a kick out of all the references to previous movies and series! From visual references to the classic Muppet Movie during the first performance of 'Can You Picture That?' to more subtle references, there's definitely something familiar to spot in each episode.

TLDR; it's a fun series that you can start watching and stop at any time without worrying about losing the plot (not all shows and movies need to have a heavy, complex plot you know!) which makes it a very easy watch. Whether you're a new or old Muppets fan, I 10/10 would recommend.

Ever since Disney acquired the Muppets (franchise), it seems they haven't really known what to do with them. The 2011 movie The Muppets was excellent, while the sequel was just okay. The 2015 ABC show "the muppets." was terrible, but the one-off Muppets Haunted Mansion was good.

In The Muppets Mayhem, the Muppets (at least some of them) finally return to the small screen in a season reminiscent of the look and feel of the Muppets from the original Jim Henson movies. This show is the best use of the Muppets at least since 2011's The Muppets.

The Muppets Mayhem is surprisingly good- in addition to nearly every episode having a significant cameo, there is great music, lots of humor, and a lot of backstory on the members of the Electric Mayhem. Through the season we see a lot of character growth not just for the Electric Mayhem, but for their human partners helping them record an album.

Unexpectedly, I saw that Adam F. Goldberg co-produced the show- the same Goldberg that gave us the ABC sitcom The Goldbergs. This show seems like a natural next step for Goldberg- the humor in The Muppets Mayhem and the seamless introduction of cameos is reminiscent of the early seasons of the Goldbergs.

This season diving into the backstory of the Electric Mayhem was a lot of fun. I hope that the success of this show means that more Muppet shows are on the way!
