LADY GAGA & THE MUPPETS’ HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR
November 28, 2013  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 9:30 p.m. ET

 

Two years ago, Lady Gaga presented an ABC Thanksgiving special that had her hanging out with her mother, sharing cooking tips with a chef, and, yes, singing. For this second special, she teams with the Muppets, with a plot line that is lifted straight from the classic syndicated The Muppet Show: It’s a TV variety show that shows the attempt to mount a variety show, with backstage as well as onstage antics throughout. And in addition to the Muppets – all of them, according to ABC – this Holiday Spectacular also makes room for Elton John (who appeared on the original Muppet Show), Kristen Bell and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
