With the promise of two Muppet films in theaters (Muppets From Space and Elmo in Grouchland) and the re-launch of Henson and Hallmark's Odyssey Channel, fans were anticipating a great year for the Muppets. Little did we know the highlights for Henson would be the television premiere of the smash hit Farscape and the third season of Bear in the Big Blue House.
