Well it has been said before that people sometimes just dont know what to do with the Muppets people will one day learn that they are not only for kids but for everyone.

Yup, it would be good for people to understand the Muppets are something everyone can enjoy. Hopefully that means the humor would be both childlike and adult. Not childish or immature (There is a difference :wink: )

I ment stand btw for whatever reason I can't edit my post. I'm tired of going back and forth about this though only time will tell what great or horrible things befall the muppet clan.

The sad thing is.. I realised something. Between this and James Blunt on Sesame Street... what celebrities do we have that would actually work with the muppets... what celebrities do we have period? Bad ones...

Anyway, I will say this, as moronic, pointless, one dimentional, shallow, humorless, juvenile, mundane, poorly written, pedestrian, and just over all crappy these Dizzy tweencoms are, they are successful. So successful (as I've stated in the "Shows that overstayed their welcome" thread) Cartoon Network is considering shizzy like this. So they're doing something right. Siggghhhhh...

I dunno, I think there are a lot of talented, well-known people out there who would be willing to work with the Muppets. Maybe not necessarily "celebrities", but people whose names' gather attention. Will Ferrell, who, like him or not, is an exceptionally funny and talented guy, has stated repeatedly that he loves the Muppets and would work with them in half a heartbeat.

And furthermore, I think that these Mini Movies could be a good place to start off, get kids interested in the Muppets again. It could be a good way to, I dunno, "trick" them into falling in love with the Muppets. Throw stars like Zac Efron together with them, have kids tune in for the stars, and then they'll slowly and inadvertently gain an obsession with the Muppets. Then, a new show could be done, and no matter who the guest star was, they'd watch it because we tricked them into wanting to see the Muppets, not the stars.

I'm talking out of my posterior, but I dunno, this makes sense to me.
