I’ll be honest, I can’t wait to see the new Muppets special. Based on the glowing NYT review, it’s just what I need at the moment:
There’s no newfangled hook, no contrived rationalization to bring the characters up to date, no pretensions toward heft or hipness. There are songs and slapstick and jokes, and nobody, blessedly, stayed up too late thinking about the reasons why. (Because Muppets, that’s why.)
