Haha sorry. The poster said "sorry" and immediately put it as a spoiler. That's why I was so confused. Nothing to see here, carry on...

I agree, let’s listen to ones that aren’t around anymore, we hear enough of our living presidents and incumbent presidents as it is.

Great Moments in Elvis History
Great Moments in Elvis History was a recurring sketch on Muppets Tonight which spoofed the legend of rock star Elvis Presley. Its premise was to feature momentous occasions from world history, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, reenacted by three Muppet Elvises. Each sketch...

Not really. I’m sure they would if they started doing more substantial things with the characters.

I dont work with that particular age group. I work More with 7 and up. But I’m sure it’s just about as popular as the other similar CGI shows on Disney Junior (which I think Disney does a fantastic job of doing. I myself will admit I’ve watched an entire episode of Vampirina)

HoP has changed many times over the years, and not just with the addition of each new POTUS.
But the tone and style of the presentation hasn't. It's always been respectful and inspirational. Qualities that help make MK a richer park.
Making HoP funny is what satirical cartoons like The Simpsons have done for years. I don't want that. Sincerity is what makes it "Disney".

To be fair, many of us were skeptical when Great Moments was announced. What they delivered was charming, witty, and informative. I didn’t find it out of place at MK.

A Muppet show in the empty Diamond Horseshoe would be better. It even has a balcony for Statler and Waldorf.

There are so many places the Muppets could be (and should have been) imported. A whole bunch of Great Moments shows would be fantastic streetmosphere shows for all of the parks. And also extremely fun easter eggs. That one poster's idea of them parodying Star Wars outside the entrance... A western-Muppets themed show in Diamong Horseshoe (perhaps a reservation-only food & show package). Muppet Mobile Lab at Epcot. And perhaps another great moments style edutainment show in Dinoland USA about, well, Dinosaurs.
They work best as streetmosphere. And it should be incorporated all over the place that way.

I agree. Disney has been trying to seek out their audience, for sure. It obviously isn't purely for adults anymore. I think the general audience would have to be families as a whole... Which is what Disney is best at anyways.
Manhattan, Christmas Carol, Muppets 2011, and Most Wanted... The audience designated for those movies is the audience Disney should keep. The general family with a few small gags that adults. Heck, it's the direction they want with Muppet Vision. That's where they need to go.
As much as I actually loved the ABC muppets show, the adult-feeling of it did feel odd, because I grew up with Disney's Muppets, not the original muppets. And I think the general public thinks of Muppets as a family friendly thing nowadays.
Muppet Babies is an American computer-animated television series featuring toddler versions of the Muppets characters that began airing on Disney Junior and Disney Channel on March 23, 2018 and is aimed at a target audience of children from ages 3 to 8. It is a reboot of the original 1984–1991 animated series of the same name.
The show retains several of the younger incarnations of the classic Muppet characters seen in the previous series, including Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, Baby Fozzie, Baby Gonzo, and Baby Animal. The series also sees the second appearance of Nanny (now known as "Miss Nanny", short for "Nancette"), and the first appearance of a new Muppet Babies member named Summer Penguin.
On July 25, 2019, it was renewed for a third season, which premiered on January 4, 2021

Just my opinion, but I thought the ABC show crossed lines the original muppets did not. Jim Henson and the original gang knew exactly where the line was and walked it like a high wire act.

Surely someone else has already done this, but here's my Liberty Square version of the meme:

Anecdotal but I can’t get my daughter into Muppet Babies.. it’s all Mickey, Fancy Nancy, and Vampirina. We tried the newer Muppet movie the other night which she paid attention to for the first 20 minutes, but the catchiest song and dance number is at the beginning, it definitely slows down after. She’s 2.5, I’m thinking we’ll have better luck around 4. But the Muppet show is actually the least interesting for kids in my opinion. At 1.5 Muppetvision was her favorite thing at Hollywood Studios, but that park doesn’t have much for the littles..
