It's an interesting article and I would like to check out the show. What do you guys think about them calling it "Jim Henson's puppet improv"? Do you think there will be a controversy about that since it is much more adult? I know Jim Henson snuck in some adult humor into his shows, but this seems to be much more so.

I personally have no problem with them using Jim's name. After all it is coming out of the company he pretty much founded.

I don't Mind them using Jim's name it's a good show and it reminds me allot of him and what he was about...so even though they swear i don't mind Jim even did every once in awhile joking around.
I always find it so funny that muppet fans get up in arms about dirty jokes when Jim wasn't afraid to throw a dirty joke in his shows or movies.
They also use allot of very nice puppets in the shows some from city kids, some whatnots I haven't seen in years, as well as some jim henson hour looking stuff, also I think the one little guy is from animals jam but I could be wrong...never watched that show it annoyed me lol, Oh and they used the muppet mink that has been on a number of jims shows.

Great article, glad Henson Co. is getting some spotlight time. Would love to actually see the show in person sometime, improv is the best.

Oh, and I don't think Piggy would blush at all.

It all really depends on what level of adult humor a show uses. Adult humor can be witty and sophisticated, or it can be tasteless.

Sad..truly sad.

If you can't be good, be dirty, I guess.

I'm sure this will REALLY help them with Disney!

Well thought out Tim.

Why would they want help from Disney on this? This is a totally seperate deal. It has nothing to do with the Muppets. And have you even seen the show? Or are you just trying to take some imaginary high road?

I know! I'm gettin sick of it too.... People Disney has NOTHIN to do with the JHC, just the Muppets! remeber they BOUGHT the Muppets from JHC 2 years ago now! mannn.... you think 99% of other Muppet fans would know this by now!
