the muppets

Despite an attempt to turn things around with a new showrunner in the middle of the first season, The Muppets hasn’t really caught on with audiences the way ABC had hoped. What once seemed like a surefire hit (it’s the Muppets!) turned into a bizarre experiment (it’s a meta-fake-documentary series!) before ultimately becoming an interesting failure (shrug emoji), at best. The short version: ABC has cancelled The Muppets after just one season.

Dave Grohl guest-starred on the latest episode of 'The Muppets,' and he was accompanied by Miss Piggy’s house band on a rendition of “Learn to Fly.”

Critics, though, are divided—some think newly adult tones make for fresh ideas, while others find it could use more finesse.

Did these "million" moms even watch the original 'Muppet Show'? Because it had its share of adult humor, too.

Welp, that was fast! Just a short while after ABC released its full fall 2015 lineup, here come the trailers. The Muppets go “adult” in the first mockumentary preview for their new series, while Uncle Buck lives, FBI agents join Quantico, and even Community star Ken Jeong gets in the three-camera sitcom game by the latest trailers.

I grew up watching The Muppet Shop, although I'll admit, I didn't catch a lot of the hidden jokes until my late teen years (yes, I was still watching it then). You can imagine my delight when I came across this awesome edit of Digital Underground's hit single: 'The Humpty Dance'.

The latest of weird, but funny, Super Bowl 2014 commercials features one of 'The Expendables' sharing a ride with Jim Henson's anthropomorphic, puppetized band.

Had he not sadly passed away in 1990, Jim Henson would be 77 today. But his work lives on, and with a new movie due out next year, The Muppets are continuing to entertain new generations. Today we're celebrating Jim Henson by sharing some amazing facts about his most famous creation: Kermit the Frog.

Do you enjoy dancing your cares away? Do you find yourself singing at the slightest provocation? Do the sounds of construction get your mouth watering? All of these and the ten qualities below are signs that you may have grown up in the fun-filled land of Fraggle Rock...

Just when we were beginning to worry we would never see Steve Martin doing anything funny again, here he is playing 'Dueling Banjos' with Kermit the Frog!

At a press conference for the U.K. premiere of ‘The Muppets,’ Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy poked fun at Fox Business host Eric Bolling for his assertion that the movie is pushing a dangerous Communist agenda.

When Eddie Murphy quit as the Oscars host, Facebook and Twitter users tried to get the Muppets to replace him. That didn’t happen, but they did show up on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night. They joined their movie co-star Jason Segel, seeming to think they were hosting the show along with him.
