The headline made me squee, but the rest made me groan in disappointment. WHY must everything get branded to the n'th degree?!?
I hope somehow the power of the Muppets can rise above Disney's attempts to tank them with their merchandising machine. Sigh. I miss The Muppet Show, even though I've bought every DVD set they've thus far released. I'd love to see it return in the old format, but I don't think production companies are particularly interested in making television that appeals to adults as much as, if not more than, kids the way The Muppet Show did, and they're certainly not interested in old-format variety shows like TMS and Carol Burnett, more's the pity.
