#12: The Muppets (2015)
In 2015, ABC introduced “The Muppets,” a mockumentary-style series offering a behind-the-scenes look at the characters’ lives as they produced a fictional late-night talk show, “Up Late with Miss Piggy.” This departure from the classic variety-show format aimed to present a more adult-oriented perspective, incorporating mature themes and humor.
Despite a strong premiere, the series experienced a significant decline in viewership, with ratings dropping from 9 million to approximately 2.7 million by the season finale. Critics and audiences were divided; some appreciated the modern take, while others felt it strayed too far from the Muppets’ traditional charm.
