The Muppet Show

The Muppet Show is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 110 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Bill Barretta sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason The Muppet Show keeps coming up in conversation. The Muppet Show does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos is bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter! Bill Barretta and Dave Goelz lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2026. The timing in The Muppet Show is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, The Muppet Show is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Bill Barretta is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
