The following plug is in this week's Entertainment Weekly, issue number 665.
Apparently, it's getting easier to be green: Kermit the Frog and his Muppet buddies are looking to make a comeback in primetime television. The Jim Henson company has already begun production on NBC's A Very Muppet Christmas (featuring appearances by David Arquette, Joan Cusack, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Caine) to air this December -- its first original film in three years. Meanwhile, Fox is in the early stages of developing an up-to-date Muppet series with the Henson Co. and Team Todd, the masterminds behind the Austin Powers flicks (The Muppet Show first aired in syndication from 1976 to '81). Says Henson domestic TV president Juliet Blake, "There's a lot of interest in good family entertainment these days, post-Sept. 11. The Muppets are an evergreen brand that comes back every few years." Let's just hope nobody gets any bright ideas about reviving ALF.
