Per Deadline.com, ABC dropped the axe on this one today. Although I don't like seeing people lose their jobs, I'm not surprised, I didn't think the show was all that good.
Sorry I can't create a link, but any entertainment site will have it.
I think the cancellation was the right decision. Personally I did not like the way the plot was going at all. Hopefully they can regroup and make a new film or a better series down the line
sharea revival of the classic Muppet Variety Show would be ready for Disney Channel or Disney XD.
shareI LOVED this incarnation of the Muppets and am sad it's already gone after one season. I'll definitely buy season one on Blu Ray or dvd when it comes out.
Bye, Muppets :(
The cancellation is not a total surprise.
shareA new Muppets variety show like the old show wouldn't last long these days either. Variety shows don't last long these days whenever someone tries it.
You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.
And that right there is why the Muppets are done. You goddam Muppets fans don't care about the Muppets; you only care about nostalgia.

It's kind of a bummer as a fan, but I knew it wouldn't last long due to its radical swerve from the regular Muppet style humour. It needed some work in its climaxes and new characters (Denise was a total blank, Chip was... a creep), but it did make me laugh.
There's bound to be some new Muppet content soon, because Disney wants to hold on to every franchise it has, but I can't see anything major for the characters outside of the occasional TV special in the near-future.

thank god it needs to die when will they learn about how to make a good tv show like the real muppets tv show
Look like Tarzan talk like Jane! HAHA

To cash in on the "mockumentary" sitcom craze that's been happening ever since The Office. For the record I liked this show a lot, but I can see why it failed.
Maybe the popularity that the 2011 Muppets movie generated has just fizzled out by now, specially after the somewhat disappointing Muppets Most Wanted movie (cause it didn't do that well in the box office).

shareNo one thought a Vaudeville inspired show would last long in the 70s. The Muppet Show ended up lasting for 5 seasons and could have gone on longer if Jim Henson had wanted to move on to other projects.
We should see the reboot, tonight, you know to try it out!

The Muppet Show wasn't just a variety show. As I say, it was also a throwback to Vaudeville style humor.

I disagree. With the popularity of shows like "Dancing With the Stars" and "America's Got Talent" I think a Variety show can still work.

I wasn't a huge fan of this show, but it did start to get better later on in the season.
Shame we'll never see if the show could truly live up to it's potential.

Moderators are terrorists.
I wasn't a huge fan of the series either. I didn't think the show was all that bad. It was pretty decent for the most part. It did felt a little bit boring and dry at times.

Yep, the show is over. While it could get picked up by another network, that seems a long shot. If the owners of the Muppets (Disney) can't get it to fly on their network (ABC)...

I am surprised how little commitment ABC (Disney) gave the Muppets. Hate to say it but the Muppets will now be seem less. Don't expect any more movies either. A real shame.
...............ZING!
This is why network TV is dying because they don't give shows a real chance anymore. I'm not saying The Muppets was ever going to be a great show but I would liked a least one more season to see if it could improve. The Simpsons, Married With Children and Seinfeld all considered classics today but started out slow and the networks actually gave them time to improve.
shareSo the Muppets gets cancelled and the Kardashians are still on. What kind of a world do we live in?
I can't blame the network though; they are simply adhering to what the viewers want. The dumb masses just didn't support it. No wonder Trump is doing so well in the polls.
"So the Muppets gets cancelled and the Kardashians are still on. What kind of a world do we live in?"
that is the best question here. it absolutely makes no sense
I am sad to hear the news. I enjoyed the show.

I was surprised when I first heard the Muppets were back, and on primetime!
A Muppet show that would last these days, wouldn't be the Muppet's we like and appreciated unless maybe it was a kids show. It would have to at feature some reality TV aspects and "the Office" style, doesn't come close enough. It would have to have the kind of shock value that hooks people in to catch the next episode from the last.
