    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    No, ABC broke their backs advertising The Muppets return, there were promos every second of the day on ABC, advertisng was not the problem. Episodes 11-16 were too sweet and oh Kermie and Piggy together, pandering to the muppet babies and muppet christmas carol audiences, if anyone has actually...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Thank you so much, this was the point I was trying to push, the reboot episodes were desperately trying to kiss up to the people who left, and it sucked, it did. They added pointless lame human characters, made stupid sketches to try to make it somewhat like TMS, and forced out Fozzie. The first...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Ugh, that's basically what we'll be getting for muppet material. Kermit, how are things with Miss Piggy? Wer're not married!, Insert dumb frog pun. Everything was in their cards this time, the critics loved it, it was fresh and apealed to the modern day audience, but no it was too "adult", but I...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I honestly wish they had never greenlighted the show, it was such an awful experience seeing the ratings decline and decline, people constantly bashing the show online and everywhere calling it "the awful muppet reboot", it was just sad to watch it all unfold and for what, a cancellation so ABC...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I guess, but it just doesn't seem to work, The Muppets played the nostalgia card and got 9 million viewers, only 2 million stayed by the end. I don't think the muppets will ever get a chance at TV sadly, and it sucks because everything was in their cards this time unlike JHH and MT. Maybe we'll...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    ABC SHOWS Canceled: The Muppets, Agent Carter, Galavant, The Family, Nashville, Castle Renewed: The Real O Neals, American Crime, The Catch Also Grandfathered got cancelled, which should make DrTooth happy, as well as some other FOX comedies, The Grinder, Cooper Barrett, and Bordertown. Still...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Not to be a wet blanket, but what good will that do, it didn't work with #RenewTheMuppets and social media and sharing videos will not help for any TV show's or franchise's fate. The film and TV industry is a business, that's the bottom line, they will never listen to the fans if it's not making...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    It's just sad you know, not just for me, but Steve and Dave and Bill and all the writers and directors who worked so hard. Everything was perfect, this was going to be the thing that put the muppets well into the limelight, there was hype, there was great advertising, and at first great ratings...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Sigh, I fully expected a cancellation, but it's just sad to see the writting, well I guess that's that, there's nothing we can do, all I'm saying is The Real O' Neals, American Crime, and The Catch all literally had the same ratings as The Muppets, so ya, RIP to another short-live muppet show.

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    At least we're getting some news about the film, I thought it would never get off the ground, and still don't know if it'll ever actually make it to theaters considering the Henson's company track record.

    So, we're well into upfront week, so we could hear about the fate of The Muppets in the next minute or in the next week, for anyone else nervously awaiting the fate of the show, here's an interesting article about corporate syngergy and The Muppets...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It sucks that Keanu wasn't much of a hit, it was a hilarious movie, but only opened at $9.4 million, but at least it has a budget of just $15 million, and has already reached $10 million, so it should at least make some profit.

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    We shall know the fate of The Muppets by May 17. At this point I'm catiously optimistic for a renewal, but also half accepting a cancellation. I just want to hear the news, and whatever happens at least we got something.

    Owners of NBC Buy Dreamworks Animation for $3.55 billion

    Wow that was quick, it was just 3 years ago that FOX bought them, and before Paramount distributed their films. Dreamworks has really been in a creative and financial rut since 2012 post Madagascar 3, which was a huge success and was the highest grossing of the franchise. Turbo, Rise of the...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    I actually haven't gotten to watching the show since the first season ended, it was a pretty on and off 13 episodes, either it was really good or just not funny for me, can anyone fill me in if the show has changed for the better, I'm thinking of giving some season 2 episodes a watch.

    I've never actually changed my avatar, so... Maybe I'll change it soon.

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    I'm being catiously optimistic about this, I really hope they actually have insider sources, it would be incredible if we got another season, maybe to replace Galavant on Sundays in January.

    The Real O'Neals impressions

    Grandfathered has like 3 episodes left to air, for whatever reason they kept airing repeats of it, but ratings are awful, so don't expect it to return, they should have aired more Brooklyn Nine Nine repeats so it wouldn't have to end so early this season.

    Video: Electric Mayhem at Outside Lands 2016

    The Mayhem have a solid gig again, they're probably looking for pay as Up Late With Miss Piggy is done right now.
