A show that “started the season as the biggest can’t-miss of the freshman class after earning a rare standing ovation at San Diego Comic-Con” has been canceled, reports Lesley Goldberg in The Hollywood Reporter’s Live Feed.
ABC’s “The Muppets” has not been renewed for a second season.
Reports THR: “The series premiere surprised ratings watchers when it topped Fox’s heavily promoted Ryan Murphy anthology ‘Scream Queens’ in head-to-head competition despite a wave of lackluster reviews.
“Subsequent episodes stumbled creatively as critics continued to take issue with the show’s depressing stories.”
The Muppets was an excellent show. Well written and a nice change of pace from the other “shows” that ABC insisted were better. Maybe The Muppets should move to Netflix where they would be better appreciated.
