| The Muppet Show |
Play the music! Light the lights! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 4!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Muppet Show (Disney+, 3 a.m. & ABC, 9 p.m.). This is a special that could lead to a revival of the beloved '70s variety show. The special finds the Muppet gang getting back together and guesting are Sabrina Carpenter, Maya Rudolph, and Seth Rogan -- the first and last are also producing. The special airs on ABC in the evening and almost fits in a half-hour timeslot, so this isn't an over-bloated runtime special.
Elsewhere, Valentine has Cake, a love life is Shifting Gears, Ms. Pat goes to the movies, Kelly Rowland and Method Man have Goals, Beauty is for billionaires, parenthood is tough in Nature too, Riot Women might fall apart, Sistas face trauma, and Michael Vick gets docuseries treatment.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
