All five seasons of Jim Henson's classic variety show starring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and failed stand-up comedian Fozzie Bear are now available to stream. Disney noted that the the fourth and fifth seasons have "never previously been released on home entertainment." The show will join other Muppet media, including "The Muppet Movie" and "The Muppet Christmas Carol," which is already on Disney+. And a series from 1976 that features guest stars like Liza Minnelli and Gene Kelly is unlikely to fully grab Gen-Zers' frenetic attention spans. But the premiere of the series matters because it's another showcase of the seemingly endless depth to Disney+'s content library.
