‘The Muppet Show’ was always a radical hotbed of hippie subversion – the original TV show was basically a bunch of brightly coloured longhairs singing psychedelic ballads about saving the earth, loving your fellow man and hugging rainbows.
So it was no great surprise when this modern-day reboot slavishly toed the Party line by depicting powerful oil baron Chris Cooper – a self-made man, a job creator and a world-class expert in maniacal laughter – as some kind of evil, money-grubbing mastermind. These pinko puppets even had the cheek to take a pop at that shining beacon of fairness and diplomacy, Fox News!
