...I was stationed in Japan with the Air Force nurse corps. Initially, there were no American TV shows available, with the sole exception of The Muppet Show on Sunday mornings.

Every Sunday morning, the bar at the Officers' Club would be full of people watching The Muppet Show because it was the only show in English.

Sabrina Carpenter turned out to be a great guest star. The original series was so great. I hope they greenlight it for a full series now. I'm sure it will only get better as they get more and more comfortable with the new (old) format.

but the show was so good, fairly true to the original. I really hope this earns a weekly spot.
