"That's the plan as I understand it, Jim. We're going to use the Jessica Simpson special in May to tease the fact that the 'Muppet Wizard of Oz' is coming. Then -- in November -- we're supposedly going to use the "Wizard of Oz" as a platform to make people aware that the new Muppet TV show is coming in February 2005.
Then -- provided that the 'Muppet Wizard of Oz' and the new TV series do decent enough numbers -- we can then bring the Henson characters back into the theme parks in a big way. Maybe even get a new Muppet feature film -- you know, something for theatrical release -- in the works as well.
But -- in order for this tentative plan to succeed -- all of the Muppet-based projects over the next year or so have to regularly rack up huge ratings. Which is why -- if JimHillMedia.com readers really want to see a whole lot more of Kermit the Frog and friends -- I'd make sure to tell them to tune in for that Jessica Simpson special in May."
