Today's news, new Muppet Show Might Return to ABC

[KLinder7]

If the show gets picked up, will more Muppets come to WDW? I personally always see Muppets 3D when I'm there. I know with Star Wars land coming, the Muppet area may or may not be at risk. I sure hope not! Thoughts?

BTW, it better be like the old variety show. The movies are good, but nothing beats the classic show!

Quick! We must alert the masses...

 

[wdwstateofmind]

Sure he's great...but can he make...BALLOON ANIMALS?!

A new show would be great if done well. I'm still hoping we'll get Seasons 4 & 5 of the original show on DVD/digital some day.

"A new Muppet Show? That would be a breakthrough development!"
"Really?"
"Yes. I'd throw my remote through the TV, breaking it!"
"D'oh-ho-hoooo!"

If the show is picked up it certainly would bring more attention to the attraction! If Star Wars land needs the area to expand and the shows popularity garnered larger numbers for Muppets 3D I wouldn't be surprised if the Mouse considered moving it all together.

I'm surprised You Know Who hasn't shown up yet to say how awful this will be if true, and how the Muppets are over the hill, and why don't they just rip Muppet Vision 3D out of DHS already, along with Star Wars while they're at it?

Walter is the Poochy of the Muppets.

The MP is in a safe undisclosed location, grinding teeth, steaming, plotting for just the right time....

In total, 100000% agreement. I loved the Muppet show. Pigs in Space!

Ooooh, I hope there are still freaky, long-haired, dirty, cynical muppets!

OMG, is that Henson's voice?! I get sad every Christmas eve when we watch Muppet's Christmas Carol and see the dedication to him. The announcement of his death hit me like Walt's and the shooting of John Lennon. Just plain tragic and the loss of a great talent.

Yes, this is part of the original Muppet Show pitch =)
I was about 6 when he died, and I remember my mom crying when she found out. I come from a family of Muppet fans.
