Episodes of The Muppet Show now carry a pre-warning for "negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures" on Disney Plus. On February 19, the streaming service made the classic Jim Henson variety series available on its platform, including iconic characters such as Kermit the Frog, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, and, of course, Miss Piggy.

Now, the episodes come with a pre-warning for "negative depictions" of certain peoples or cultures in the episodes, which first aired from 1976 and 1981.
