Muppets Now
Fridays, Disney+
PUTTING ON A modern-day Muppet show now requires uploading sketches digitally to a streaming audience. But even as the Muppets once again adapt to the technological times, with Zoom-esque chat rooms and texts keeping everyone connected, some things never change. Look closely at the list of 100 ideas that the proudly corny Fozzie Bear pitches to Scooter in hopes something will make it to air, and one stands out: Agents of S.C.H.T.I.C.K.
Sounds about right. is as close as these puppet masters have come in a while to recapturing the joyfully anarchic spirit of the classic of the 1970s. Behind-the-scenes antics are kept to a minimum as Scooter keeps the gags flowing.
