the muppets

The Electric Mayhem will finally get their own show.

It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights.

Throughout its five-season run, 'The Muppet Show' brought in some of the world's best-loved entertainers as guest stars, including musicians from rock, pop and country.

Attendees at this year's Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park got to witness Muppet history in the making.

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.

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.

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!

New movies usually open on Fridays, but since the Thanksgiving holiday means many people will have had enough of socializing with their relatives long before then, you’ll be able to sneak out as early as Wednesday to check out this week’s new offerings.
