'The Muppet Show' Features Content Warning and Missing Episodes on Disney+

The Muppet Show‘ Features Content Warning and Missing Episodes on Disney+. The Muppets fans have been very excited to hear The Muppet Show was coming to Disney+, but it seems several episodes have either had a content warning added to them before the episode plays or have been removed all together from the streaming service. The content warning states:

This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people of cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. 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.

Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.

The content warning was specifically added to an episode featuring Johnny Cash who performed for the show in front of a Confederate Flag as a backdrop and is the same content warning found in front of several Disney films including The Aristocats, Peter Pan, Dumbo, and The Swiss Family Robinson.

  1. This post is wrong, its not “100 or so of the 120”, there is no where near 20 episodes missing. Theres only 2 episodes missing: one due to a song rights, and the other for the guest being arrested.
