The show features recurring comedy sketches and musical numbers and hosted iconic special guests like Julie Andrews and Mark Hamill.

From musical hits like “Mahna Mahna” to Fozzie Bear’s jokes, The Muppet Show is sure to entertain the entire family.

Other offerings available on Disney+ as part of its Muppets Collection include Muppets Now, a Disney+ original series that features Kermit and the gang as well as special guests like Aubrey Plaza, Ru Paul, Seth Rogen, and more.
