We’ll give the team over at “The Muppets” a little bit of credit here: They have figured out a way to spoof Adele’s “Hello” in a way that is still funny. You see, we’ve probably seen about two hundred parodies of the song in the past two weeks, but there’s still something about the new […]
Who knew that a show featuring puppets could be so complicated? We will start this article by admitting that we are a little bit behind on “The Muppets.” However, we did love the presentation that was filmed earlier this year, and found the first episode to be for the most part enjoyable and very funny.

Let’s start today’s episode-count story with news on “The Muppets.” The ABC comedy, which has been an adult take on the classic Jim Henson characters set in the fake documentary style of “Parks and Recreation” or “Modern Family,” now has a full season.

Limitless, Scream Queens, The Muppets
