This Muppets Now review contains spoilers.
Muppets Now Episode 5
Muppets Now ends its first and possibly only season with its sixth episode “Socialized.” I couldn’t imagine a more fitting season finale for this show. Half of it relies on the same tired gags as every episode before it. The other half is fresh and shows that although the show can be incredibly tedious, there’s still absolute gold to be mined in there.
The framing plot this time around is that Kermit’s nephew Robin is the show’s social media intern and is constantly bugging Scooter by showing him how much support he has from the other Muppets. The “support” is really just everyone bitching and moaning about how slow Scooter is. Luckily, there are some funny moments – brief as they are – to be found. I admit, the simple idea of Pepe memeing Scooter and misnaming to him as “Scooper” makes me chuckle.
