Los Muppets: los Mayhem dan la nota

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!

Personally, I don't think the Muppets have ever ever ever EVER been wrong about anything. This show just proves my point. I think they're going to elevate Lily Singh to new heights that she hasn't attained yet & bring in fans from all corners of the globe. Lily, to me, was an internet celebrity, and now, she's much much more; she manages the Mayhem.

I was skeptical about this show when I heard that the Mayhem were going to star, but then I realized they haven't been the center of any show or movie yet.

Imagine. You're floating on a river in the summery, relaxation mode you get yourself into this time of the year, when you come to an eddy that stops you in your tracks & allows you to explore what's around you for a moment in time, if your choosing. That's what this show is, does & will continue to do. A bright, refreshing view of something we've never seen before.

The Mayhem is as brilliant as they always were but with the spotlight on, for the first time, fans of the muppets & fans of entertainment in general can view their magnificence in all its glory.

All hail the Electric Mayhem!

Loved The Muppets Mayhem, it was so cool for Dr. Teeth and the electric Mayhem to helm their own show and it works, we get to see character growth and backstories that haven't happened before for the Muppets (or this band in general ) and I love it and I love how the whole season focuses on just them working on their album this is great and I think it's a great start to the Muppetverse, honestly The Muppets Mayhem is one the best shows since The Muppet Show highly recommend it and hopes it leads to more of The Muppetverse cause honestly there's is so much potential for others Muppet characters to Star in their show let's go!!

==-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.

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.
