I've actually wondered about this as far as how a new line-up would look. I would of course prefer the original group but it wouldn't surprise me if they did change it. I figure Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Piggy, and Animal are all safe bets. As far as the other three spots, who knows? I would love for Rowlf to be on the show, but it wouldn't shock me if he, Scooter, and Skeeter were dropped in favor of some of the new batch. :frown: Pepe I figure would be a likely replacement.
That honestly SCARES me. I like Pepe okay, but oh...oh, gosh. To replace Scooter and Skeeter...with...PEPE!?!?!? That's almost as bad as if we took the level of Care Bear's CGI and made Muppet Babies exactly the same way. I watched that Care Bear's CGI hour-movie thing...

I had to stop watching after 20 mins. I couldn't stomach anymore of the outlandishly pre-schooler humor, and the horrible CGI animation.

--- Has anyone also noticed how pre-schooler's TV has changed, with the advent of Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer ?? WAY too much repetation. Not enough morals.

You can't just go around replacing muppet babies! I admit the Scooter and Skeeter were not my favourites, but it wouldn't be the same without those guys!

Well, unless they use the Waldo technology, and make this a puppet/CGI blend, I wouldn't mind too much... but since you seem concerned this is no more than a rumor that's all bark and no substance. Nothing came out of it either way, so this probably will not happen at least anytime soon...

BTW, these plans have been around even before the Disney deal, and other than the oz movie, no other pre-Disney deal has hit yet....
You can expect it to look something like that in The Book of Pooh. They used puppets, but also CG.

But then, of course... Muppet Babies was a wonderful, imaginative kid's cartoon, whereas Care Bears were just the creation of some greating card company to make a thrown together show so they could sell Care Bear Merchandise..... 80's animation, man... gotta love it.

Personally, IF this project were ever to take shape, I'd hope they could get back most of the writers. I mean, I know Jefferey Scott is still around... just hope Dragon Tales doesn't influence this that much.

The only real advantage I see to a new MB series is the oppertunity to make baby versions of Muppets they didn't use the first time around (wouldn't mind Skeeter being replaced by baby Janice). I mean, there was a good gag in their with a Baby Dr,Teeth having only one tooth where his gold tooth now is.
