Here's the press release for Disney XD.

Excerpt:

Available only on Disney.com, Disney XD is a customizable, personalized entertainment and social networking experience that now allows fans to rock out online.

Well, at least the Muppets are getting exposure, even if it is online.

 

[Ruahnna]

Oh, geez. So you mean I'm actually going to have to figure out how to do all that "interfacing" stuff if I want to see these? Yeesh!

 

[wwfpooh]

I meant that, maybe this online exposure would eventually give the Muppets some future TV exposure.

Bear in mind that Disney XD will probably eventually launch as an on demand cable channel as well as on the web.

YEah, things look really good for people outside of the 9-16 year old girl demographic.

Well, remember...children were what even Jim Henson's work was usually aimed at, although his work--like many others'--did reach other demographics as well.
