Disney+, hold on to this creative team and write them a blank check! This was the best we've seen the Muppets since Jason Segel reminded the world that muppet fans come from all age groups. And it's the best muppet TV show since...well, The Muppet Show.
In one of the later episodes, the band members are handed phones. This is the downfall of the band. They tried to "fit in" with a modern media style. The Animal TicTok poses, Janice yoga cult, and Lips TED talks were funny, but I felt like I was watching Disney's Muppets Now: Chaotic fun with no heart. The Muppets Mayhem metaddresses this by having the band eventually put down the phones and turn off their ring lights to come back together out of love and friendship.
I can't say enough good about this show. I laughed a lot, got caught up in the love triangle, was generally interested in the Muppet character backstories, and 'felt' satisfied with the story. The human actors paired perfectly with the band members. The cameos were amazing. The music fit the story and rocked.
The decision to not include more frogs and dogs and bears and chickens and whatever must have been a tough call to make, but it worked. I want to see more Mayhem!
