Created by the legendary Jim Henson, the original “Muppet Show” was a variety half-hour featuring Kermit the Frog as the showrunner and host. The series originally aired from 1976 to 1981 on ITV in the U.K. and on CBS in the U.S. In addition to the show’s first three seasons, seasons 4 and 5 will also be available to stream for the first time.
The show was notable for mixing the family-friendly Muppet characters with starry guest hosts that included Steve Martin, Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Alice Cooper, Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Gene Kelly and Mark Hamill. Disney sought to ballyhoo the return of “Muppet Show” with a “statement” from host and producer Kermit.

Man I wish Disney Plus would pick up Dark Crystal Age of Resistance, now that Netflix cancelled it. It's part of the Jim Henson universe and his daughter works on it😢
Yay!!!
I'm 61 years old and this is such delightful news, lol.
I’ve been watching the Muppet Show for the past 4 years
Nooowwww if Disney would just release them on Bluray or, at least, Season 4 and 5 on DVD but I gather the move to disneyplus will quash those hopes.
The only good Muppet TV show.

I know where I'm headed first.
