Muppets Now

Muppets Now is an unscripted short-form series developed for Disney+. It was released on July 31, 2020.
==Overview==
Muppets Now takes place on Scooter's Computer where Scooter rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he’ll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him. Overflowing with spontaneous lunacy, surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed, the Muppets cut loose in “Muppets Now” with the kind of startling silliness and chaotic fun that made them famous. From zany experiments with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to lifestyle tips from the fabulous Miss Piggy, each episode is packed with hilarious segments, hosted by the Muppets showcasing what the Muppets do best.

==Reception==
This series had received mixed-to-negative reviews by critics and audiences. Most of the reviews were upset that Disney fired Steve Whitmire who provided the voice of Kermit the Frog until 2017 and replaced him with Matt Vogel who voiced Constantine from Muppets Most Wanted. Some were also unhappy with the modernization themes that the series provided with the Muppets storing video footage of the segments on a computer while being quarantined at their apartments.
