Reply to comment by DoctorThunder in First Look: "The Muppets Mayhem" - Disney Plus series by LyingPug

Rights issues, I believe. It took them a while to get all the stuff on the original Muppet Show cleared, I can only imagine what it costs to get the rights for something like Prince. Probably too much for a show that didn't do all that well to begin with.
