The Muppets Mayhem

==-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.

Some recent Muppets shows felt like they had no heart and were just churned out with not much thought. Muppets Mayhem however is the total opposite. It feels like the spirit and heart of the Muppets is finally back. Loved following Electric Mayhem and loved how each of the characters had their own personality and story going on in the background. It's so funny and well written, with a great cast. Really loved Lily Singh and Anders Holm. Such a great storyline, and I feel like whoever wrote it was staying true to the Muppets and not trying to change them in order to pander to the Tik Tok generation, like Muppets Now did. Please make a season 2 of Muppets Mayhem!!!

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.

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!

This is the Muppet series we've been waiting for. It's funny, loaded with cameos, has great storytelling and it's the first muppet production since the muppets, that finally has heart again. Each episode builds on itself. For the true muppet fan, there are plenty of Easter eggs. For the first time Muppet fan, the characters grow with each episode and you'll grow to fall in love with each quirky personality. The relationships between the "real life" actors and the muppets are genuine, just like in the muppet show and the muppet movies. I love the fact that this season focuses on just the electric mayhem and not all the muppet "regulars". It gives them a real chance to shine.
