New Muppet Show Update?

[The Count]

Sorry if this thread's title misleads many who see it. So what exactly happened to this exciting new Muppet Show that was suppossed to debut on Fox in March? Did it start up already? Or has it been delayed to a later date? Just like to know what's happenning on that front so as not to miss it when it does premiere on TV, and not to miss out on any new characters or sketches or discussion here on the forums. Please answer the questions before to the best of your collective knowledges if you guys can. Thanks and have a good day.

Probably not until next year now, but it does look like it'll happen !

He probably asked his Magic 8-Ball...

"Magic 8-Ball, will there be a new Muppet Show?"

Sarah

Yup, it was the 8 ball again!

Nah - their production schedule and also the network processes would be pretty tight for it to air this year now, but some of us here have heard (from very informed sources) that they got the green light for production a long time ago, although that could all be affected by the sale i guess.

I think it's the Muppet Theatre again - can't say that officially but it's what most people have heard since they announced the show. It would also fit in with the Weezer video, the Xmas Movie and also the UK McDonalds Ad's - the focus is very much on putting the Muppets back in the theater.

yeah I've noticed that too...although I think a Muppet sitcom would be hilarious......
