Sure, it’s not exactly an attraction announcement...but that is a pretty cool announcement.

Rumor Muppets to Take Over The Hall of Presidents
- Thread starter The Visionary Soul
- Start date
What a relief.
I'm out of the loop!
As an adult, while I LOVED the show as a child, it's not something that I can watch again, save for maybe one episode.
Now if someone had all the seasons of Dance Fever with Deney Terrio...that would be exciting.
Saturday night as a child:
The Muppet Show - 6 pm
Dance Fever - 6:30 pm
Solid Gold - 7 pm
The Love Boat - 8 pm
Fantasy Island - 9 pm

Why does this not surprise me... Gotta create Disney+ buzz, because that’s the future of the company, right? Pretty soon we’re going to see the DVC booths replaced by Disney+ booths, plus adding D+ advertisements in every ride and attraction, food/beverage location, and merchandise shop/kiosk.

It's almost as if Disney is a business not run by Walt Disney anymore...

It’s actually pretty funny in retrospect how obvious that ended up being.
Finally!
The non-Sesame-Street muppets became a cultural touchstone with this series. I always thought it odd that it stopped being available on regular TV repeats (on off-channels and late night). And I thought it was a missed opportunity by Disney to not have The Muppet Show playing in the wee hours of the morning every day on ABC for the next generation to see.
The availability of The Muppet Show will allow a few generations that missed out on it to catch up. It'll help some people understand why muppets are a thing to begin with.
I also thought it odd that rich and powerful Disney couldn't sort out licensing rights to the songs from the show. Obviously, they now finally did.

At this point, Muppets being added to the HoP would be outside the scope of this thread and rumor timeline, no?

It doesn’t mean it won’t, but it means it wasn’t the “big announcement” that was somewhat tempting...

It actually may make them even more relevant to join Hall of Presidents.
