Disney Warns Viewers ‘The Muppet Show’ Has ‘Offensive Content!’

nmichalik February 22nd
Released November 23, 2011.

I personally think this is great.  I’m glad we are at a time where we are finally learning that words hurt and are harmful.  In fact, they always have, but no one did anything about it before.

  • Disney just released five seasons of “The Muppet Show” to Disney+ and it will air with a disclaimer about “offensive content” that could cause a “harmful impact.”
  • The disclaimer will be shown prior to each episode and warns of the episode containing “stereotypes” and “mistreatment of people or cultures.”
  • “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the disclaimer states.
  • Disney concluded the disclaimer with, “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.”
