Disney+ has opted to include a warning ahead of certain episodes of The Muppet Show, which is now airing on the streaming network.

“These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the disclaimer reads just before a select few episodes of the 118 included episodes. “Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

The warning message continues: “Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe. To learn more about how stories have impacted society, visit: Disney.com/StoriesMatter.”

The 12-second disclaimer was added before 18 episodes.

Fans have also noticed that while The Muppet Show, which ran for a total of five seasons, has 120 episodes, there are only 118 available to watch.

According to The Wrap, the two episodes guest starred Brooke Shields and British comedian Chris Langham.

A Disney+ spokesperson revealed why they weren’t on the streaming service and it reportedly has to do with music rights issues.

Kermit the Frog has a new girlfriend less than a month after splitting from Miss Piggy following a four decade relationship!

The new romance with a “head of marketing at ABC” named Denise will be documented on ABC’s new series The Muppets.

“She’s always stopping by the set of Up Late with Miss Piggy,” a source told People about Denise. “He calls her his girlfriend.”

Just yesterday, Miss Piggy seemed to show no sign of stress over her ex’s new girlfriend (who she is pictured with below) as she has a new man in her life – Liam Hemsworth!

Nostalgia alert — a revival for The Muppets is being worked on for ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Kermit the Frog, Animal, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rizzo the Rat, and more could be coming back as a series if all goes well.

The script is being written with help from The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady and 3rd Rock From the Sun writer Bob Kushell.

Bob will also act as the showrunner while Wilfred director Randall Einhorn will be the executive producer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this is the second time Bill has attempted to bring The Muppets back.
