LONDON --- Preschool specialist HIT Entertainment has signed a five-year distribution pact with Jim Henson, increasing the prospects of its plan to launch a dedicated digital children's channel in the U.S.

>>Did they actually say the physical "Muppets" would be moved to the Burbank lot or did they just mean it in a business sense?<<
I meant that figuratively. I don't even understand how the Disney/Muppet Workshop thing will work.

His question didn't really sound that specific, but that's a good one anyway.
I did call JHC a few weeks ago though and they'll keep the Kermit/Chaplin statue and other Muppets memoribillia laid out throughout the property. So while the Muppets will move to Disney's Burbank lot, remnants of...
From yesterday's HIT announcement:
>>The deal does not include titles involving the Muppets or Bear in the Big Blue House, the rights to which were recently acquired by The Walt Disney Company.

Exactly what I was thinking, which is why I can understand (to a certain extent) why they might not want to use it. But since "Jim Henson" is technically not owned by a corporate foe, why not use it?

And I bet you, if "The Muppet Musicians of Bremen" didn't have the word "Muppet" in the title, Henson would have kept it too, for Kermit is the only major character in there.
I went through (on this computer) muppets.scarecroe.com. If you're asking about the actual address for the TP Forum, I don't know...nice avatar, by the way.
This is off-topic, but Muppetsdownunder, for a minute I thought you were Phil and you were talking favorably about the TP Forum! But I was just looking at your Kermit avatar and not your screen name and got confused.
OK, carry on...
I was just lucky that I have a radio show to listen to on-line, or I would have missed the tip as well. Because most of the time, we find out that a Muppet will come on "Today" just minutes before they come on.
