Critics' reviews

"The dialogue is funny, but the longer-range question is whether it’s funny enough to keep viewers coming back week after week."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"A smart and often witty update to the Muppet brand."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"The result is pleasant enough, but something of a mixed bag."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"So far, there's some laughter in the early episodes of 'The Muppets' and a ton of built-in affection, but the wait for a great show continues."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"It might take some time to adapt to what the gang is trying to do here, but it’s definitely in sync with the Muppet mission of entertaining everyone at their own level, and for every misjudged moment there are several more that are sublime."

Matt Zoller Seitz: Vulture
"The first two episodes of 'The Muppets' (...) are sometimes funny and have flashes of the original’s charm. But they also reflect a definition of 'adult' that could stand to grow up."

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
