I'm so excited about this! A revived Muppet Show with Sabrina Carpenter as the special guest star? That's like a dream come true for me! 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see Kermit and Miss Piggy back on stage? It's going to be such a fun-filled revival with new themes and characters... and I love that Sabrina is also executive producing it! 
Can you imagine the music? It's going to be a blast from the past with modern vibes, I'm so hyped for this! 
. The idea of Sabrina taking on her role and breaking into those iconic pink outfits is giving me major nostalgia vibes 
. I'm hyped to see how this 50th anniversary special is gonna go down! Let's get ready for a Muppet revival like no other 
.
sabrina carpenter is like literally the perfect choice for miss piggy's role - she's got that sassy, confident vibe down pat 
and i can already imagine her rocking a pink bedazzled outfit alongside kermit & co 
it's gonna be so awesome to see the muppets get revamped for a new gen audience 
And Sabrina Carpenter has got some experience in acting and singing, don't get me wrong. But is this really the right move? Can they just revive the classic Muppet show with Kermit at the helm instead? I need to see more about what's going on here before I fully buy into it... 
and can we talk about kermit trying to hint that there will be more episodes? it's just too cute 
let's get ready for this fabulous revival! 
.
I love how they're keeping the classic vibe while also introducing new things, like new characters and themes. It's gonna be so much fun to watch! 
I mean, I love Sabrina and all but it feels like she's trying too hard to fit in. Also, why did they have to make the teaser so cheesy 
with the pink outfits and all that jazz. It's like, can't they just stick to what made The Muppet Show so iconic in the first place? 
But, I guess it's cool that Sabrina is getting a chance to shine as an executive producer too 
.
. It's a great opportunity for her to spread her wings and try something new, which I think she's going to totally crush at! The fact that this special celebrates the 50th anniversary of 'The Muppet Show' is just icing on the cake - it's going to be an epic celebration of pop culture 
. I can already imagine how much fun it's going to be, and I'm sure fans are going to love it too!
Can't wait to see Sabrina slaying as a guest star and executive producer, this is going to be EPIC!!! 
that Sabrina's performance is going to be EPIC!!! She's gonna bring so much energy & sass to the show, it's gonna be a wild ride! And can we talk about how amazing it is that Miss Piggy is getting her due? The diva herself is back and better than ever 
.
I'm also super stoked that she's taking on an executive producer role, it's amazing that she's already stepping into the TV production game at such a young age! This special is going to be EVERYTHING and more!!!
and Miss Piggy bringing her diva vibes back to life 
I mean who else can pull off matching pink bedazzled outfits 
. But hey, who knows? Maybe they'll make us all laugh and dance our worries away
