Happy birthday! Muppet Central is now 27 years old. The site and our original forum debuted 27 years ago on January 28, 1998. Muppet Central Radio began two years later on January 28, 2000.
Back when the site first started the Jim Henson Company still owned all of their original properties including the Muppets and Sesame Street. Two new feature films were in development simultaneously, "Muppets from Space" and "Elmo in Grouchland". The Children's Television Workshop was gearing up for its upcoming 30th anniversary and the Jim Henson Company was developing an ambitious sci-fi series that would eventually become Farscape. Even though many changes have occurred throughout the EM.TV and Disney years, we’ve been honored to be a small part of it and to provide a place for fan discussion and interaction.
We want to thank all of the staff, past, and present who have given so much of their time and giftings to make Muppet Central a great place. Every member here is a vital part of what makes Muppet Central special. Thanks for doing your part in keeping Jim Henson’s vision of the Muppets alive. We believe great days are ahead.
While we’re celebrating 27 years, we are also looking toward the future. Read the below questions and let us know your predictions for 2025.
(1) What would you like to see from Disney and the Muppets in 2025? On February 17, it will have been 21 years since Disney bought the Muppet characters and Bear in the Big Blue House. Disney plans to continue celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Muppets throughout 2025. We'll see if Disney releases a 70th anniversary retrospective and more collectibles to celebrate. Hopefully "Muppets Tonight" will finally make its debut on Disney+ in 2025. We should also learn more about Disney's plans for Muppet Vision 3D's potential relocation and the new Muppet themed Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
(2) What would you like to see Sesame Workshop produce or release in 2025? The upcoming year is currently the most uncertain in Sesame Street's storied history. With Sesame Street Season 55 being the last season to debut on Max, there is uncertainty over the future home of the series. From AppleTV+ to Amazon Prime to PBS to YouTube, where would you like to see Sesame Street Season 56? One of the highlights for Sesame Street fans will likely be NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street action figures which will be released soon.
(3) What are your hopes for new productions from the Jim Henson Company in 2025? We're hopeful that "Back to the Rock" will remain in production for years and will lead to more classic projects like the upcoming Emmet Otter film and the new Storyteller series.
Happy birthday everyone!
