Disney+ Orders Puppet Talk Show From Jim Henson Co.

The exclusive Disney streaming service, Disney+, is set to launch in just a couple of weeks, with a packed library of fan-favorite titles and an exciting slate of original programs on the way. The Jim Henson Company was supposed to be producing a new Muppets revival as a part of that original...

Just now, I heard that Disney+ has ordered a talk show called "Earth to Ned", and that The Jim Henson Company will be involved. What does everyone think of that?

Yeah. Way to go JHC for once again reaching only a small (and far more exclusive) audience, and then wondering why the masses aren't catching onto any new Henson projects.

To be fair...what has JHC actually gotten off the ground lately aside from that Dark Crystal show? And that seems to be reasonably popular.

i mean, a lot of people are going to be using Disney+, its not as exclusive as you'd think. Just look at the success of Netflix - plus its DISNEY so people are going get the service just because of that fact

as usual the puppets for this show look amazing but I'm not too sure about the blue face in the window

We got a trailer for it! it looks uhhhhhh..... intresting? idk not totally sold on it, but the puppets are really cool at least

quick follow up, does a talk show like this even make sense? like aren't most late night shows like time sensitive, talking about current events and celebrities upcoming projects? so a show with special effects and elaborate setups that will take time to edit probably wont really work too well, but we'll have to see!

Nah, it'll probably be like the Elmo one, where he just asks random/inane questions that don't really pertain to any current projects.
