I have to say that since the news that Disney plans (and has already announced) the release of Season Set DVDs of The Muppet Show: Yes. I like them (for) now. Plus, they're doing more with The Muppets than JHC was doing in the same period of time. All you have to do is look at the forum topics to see all the appearances they are making as proof.

(Of course, I'm easy, too.)

I agree.Like I stated before,Disney just bought The Muppets.Don't espect all their Muppet project to be done overnight or finished by this year.It'll take time for future projects to occur in real time.I'm very happy on TMS season by season dvd release.Time will tell what is in store for the years to come.

At the time of the sale I had said that the long-term signs of what Disney will do with the Muppets will likely come to terms 3-4 years after the sale. So around 2007-2008, we'll get an idea of whether the Muppets are a long-term property or just a new novelty for Disney. The true test will be when Disney no longer is working with JHC after their multi-year partnership agreement expires.

I agree Phillip. Even though Disney still has the final say, the JHC still has some input. After the agreement expires it could get interesting.
