That would be a bit extreme though wouldn't it? I mean sure, they haven't done as much as we the fans would have liked (still no Season's 4/5 of TMS), but maybe that's not the answer.I guess Disney will have to sell The Muppets to another company.
I kind of feel, no matter WHICH company the Muppets are a part of, they may still have this ratings turn out. I don't think it's necessarily ABC or Disney's fault. I feel a lot of it, again, it's a hard world out there in TV Land (the broad range of TV not the channel). It's got a lot of compitition now, Hulu, Netflix, DVD/Blu Ray, heck even Youtube, video games and smart phones. All things that drive business (and viewers) away.
It would be nice to give them a platform to just, be themselves. Maybe more viral content was the answer. I felt their Bohemian Rhapsody video from a few years ago was pretty popular. Kodochrome and Writing on the Wall seemed to do pretty well also.
Also, again, it wasn't just The Muppets that got Axed. (true this is MUPPET Central but lets look at the bigger picture). A good 75% of shows on their lineup didn't get renewed. Maybe the market for shows in that style is fading. Maybe in a few years the troupe will regroup and be back with something new and different for us.
I do hope they end up releasing a box set of episodes though. Would be nice to have tangible copies of this.
