Well im going to put this out here for what it is worth. Jim Lewis is not involved in this movie.

Really! That's very surprising to me! Did you get a chance to talk to him Dwayne?

Darn. Any ideas as to who is involved?

I did i got a nice little E mail from him, and I forgot to ask him if he had gotten the last batch of questions.

Nope, but Jim told me that he thinks the movie should still be good.


I really hope so knowing that Jim's not involved does now make me wonder. I don't really like the idea of having outside writers come in and almost take over. If you know anything about Jim Lewis's Career with the Muppet it took him time to prove himself as a writer, and he has done a great job.

Well, if it's Segal's co-writers, it could be good. XD

(and Santa's personal flight attendant)

I guess the big round guy decided to give the reindeer a break this year? XD

That sounds AWESOME! This is my favorite part though:

while Martin is said to be playing a postal worker who stars in the special's opening scene, performing a gigantic song and dance number with the Muppets.

AWWWWWWWWESOME! ! ! ! !

The words "giant song and dance number" are so...Muppety! I can't wait for this special!

Could not have said it better myself, Pooh! This is gonna be so much fun!

If the writing is top notch, this could be the hit special The Muppets have awaited since their last great hit.
