Yeah, I really like this idea. In the thread about Jim Hill's article, he hinted at that, and I thought it sounded pretty good. Now that we've got The Muppet Newsflash reporting it, I am very excited! That means things are rolling, and that we will actually see them come to fruition this time.

One small problem: Canada doesn't get the Disney Channel. However, the Family Channel plays tons of Disney Channel shows, so maybe they will play these interstitials in between shows? I really hope so! Family Channel, take the hint :wink:

I gathered these are vignettes, or "bumpers" they put between shows. It sounds a good thing to do, as well as the comics and webisodes. I don't get the point of it not promoting a show thats about to start though, it needs something for them to follow on and watch.

Scooter was beautiful sounding in Muppets Wizard of Oz. I hope they use the same performer again.

Oh, definitely, Rickey Boyd did a FANTASTIC job as Scooter in MWoO, at fist I didn't like it too much, I preferred Brian Henson's, but watching it again and again, I really, really like Rickey's Scooter.
