To be fair, the Muppets Kitchen has been advertised on CBS, and has been advertised quite a bit on the home page of Disney.com. And I've even spotted some web ads for it while browsing other Disney web pages.Given how tiny the Muppet fan community is, we have a rich illustrious tradition of nit picking and OCD inspecting/ripping apart and analyzing the smallest detail(Man, Im surprised some people on here didnt give poor Ken Lilly a stroke!)
I obviously don't have access to numbers, but let's not kid ourselves: were probably the only ones who even are keeping tabs on Muppets Kitchen, let alone watching it.
So, it is possible that others know about it.
But yes, I understand what you are saying, and I agree with everything you said in your post.
The important thing is that the Muppets are doing things again.
