TVLine: Earth to Ned (One of) Falls Best New Shows!

 TVLine has named Earth to Ned one of falls "Best New Shows."




Two of their reviewers championed the series thusly:

Andy Swift said "At a time when most late-night TV hosts feel like puppets anyway, this take on the genre from the Jim Henson Company (starring a four-armed alien and his know-nothing crew of intergalactic sass-bots) feels like the next logical step. A worthy successor to Muppets Now, Earth to Ned‘s strongest asset is its cast of characters you can’t help but root for — which is good, because these goofballs really have no idea what they’re doing. 

While NIck Caruso opined "Disappointed by Muppets Now? Earth to Ned can fill that puppet-sized hole in your childlike heart. Helmed by the Jim Henson Company, this mock late-night show is hosted by alien commander Ned, an E.T. who’s obsessed with Earth’s celebrity culture. Assisted by his lieutenant Cornelius, they beam famous faces (including comedians Andy Richter and Kristen Schaal) up to their ship for interviews, games and more, all while trying to figure out the secret sauce behind successful talk shows. The series’ sharp writing and top-notch puppetry make for a super-fun binge for fans of all ages. 

You can read what other non-Henson produced-Alien talk shows they thought were worth your time at TVline.

Earth to Ned is streaming now on Disney+
