There you go.
Basically in 1998, Henson and Hallmark Entertainment jointly launched The Kermit Channel and a lot of their programming aired on it. Odyssey, which both companies had also acquired stakes in, was touted as the sort of U.S. version of it.
It went off the air in 2000 or 2001. Other than that...
Nice, very nice. It's not the "Comcast Public Broadcasting System," but other than that, good :)
What a year, and hopefully this year will be a good follow-up.
Speaking of anniversaries, I would briefly like to mention that it was five years ago today that EM.TV bought The Jim Henson Company for $680 million.
How time flies when you're having a corporate meltdown. :attitude:
February 17, 2004, was a day I was (sorta) waiting for for years. Disney bought the Muppets, as I had eagerly wanted them to do for years. But more shockingly, Henson sold the Muppets TO Disney. After the EM.TV sale, long auction, and eventual family buyback, this was the last thing I expected...

Phone number, nice. :)
And it's "McClellan," by the way.
I don't know about a Labyrinth sequel, I like the first one, but Linkin Park doing music for a Henson fantasy film ain't a bad idea. They stand out among the rap-rock bands, let me put it that way. "Crawling" is my favorite song, so you know.
LP RULES! :crazy:
Edit: I just realized this...
It sure is. Though a correction (though it's irrelevant now), MCC came on Disney Channel Wed. at 8pm EST, and does come on ABC Family sometime tomorrow.
And VMX (the NBC movie) came on The Hallmark Channel earlier today. So Muppet Christmas movies galore.
Steve Whitmire is still performing Kermit. I'm not sure if he himself is on Disney's payroll (I think others around here know more about puppeteer relations), but he and the others are still performing.
Disney sends Muppets to promo land
By Marla Matzer Rose
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Kermit the Frog has been a film and TV star. He's been made larger than life as a popular Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. They even adore him in England.
But like so many stars pushing 50...
Look. I can't stand Michael Moore either, but I do not understand what he or teenage sex films have to do with Disney buying the Muppets or the new Henson.com.
Wait, they DON'T.
The last thing we need this to be is another pathetic Internet political thread. Especially when everything you...
