New Muppet tv special this Sunday!
 

Well now I know what that whole Piggy and the Jonas Brothers thing was that I saw on her myspace page...

You can see the promo ads at the bottom of the link provided. As I generally avoid Disney channel I hadn't seen any of these before. But sweet that Disney's finally doing something with the Muppets!

As I said on Muppet Central, I'm not happy about this but whatever this special isn't for me it's for tweenagers who will just ignore the Muppets and watch because of Hannah Montana, the hotel show with ham acting, and whatever other disney kid star you can think of.
If any of you don't like those types I'd avoid this if I was you.:dead:

If they're going to use the Muppets to hock Disney shows, why not have them host an ABC preview special? I'd LOVE to see them interact with the stars of Pushing Daisies.

But I really wouldn't care to see this. Dr. Teeth or no Dr. Teeth.

I'll watch for Ashley Tisdale.

Muppets? What are those? Seriously, when was the last time the damn muppets were relevant? 1992?

What does it matter if they are or aren't?
Things can come and go at any time especially cartoons and properties like this.
The Ninja Turtles have done it a few times now and we may be in the midst of it happening to the comics again soon, hell even the cartoon if they don't get their act together.

Disney is right now trying differnt things to try and bring the old Muppets many of us grew up with back and while this special isn't my cup of tea I have to admit it will get allot of attention but I wonder if kids will care.

The Muppets own website and youtube videos have been the best things I've seen anyone do with the Muppets since the Jim Henson Hour.

Yeah. Sesame Street isn't the longest running kid's show, and it doesn't currently air world wide.

I have lost all respect for you my friend. Ashley Tisdale is an agent of the anti-christ.

Anyone ever have the unpleasantry of actually looking at Ashley Tinsdale's Barbie type dolls? They are the scariest thing I ever seen. I really wish I didn't even look at them... But Newburry Comics had them right next to the TMNT figure box set (or something from Japan that I would have liked, I forget) and I almost passed out.

I guess I should be glad that I have no clue who Ashley Tisdale is....altho I'll probably have a clue on Sunday. I cannae pass up the Muppets in any form. I just know I'll be cringing at the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus stuff....that show about the motel is somewhat tolerable.

I wanna say Ashlee is from HSM.... Is that correct?

I don't know who she is either but she was on that zach and codey show on disney the other night so I'm guessing she's on that or something.
To me she looks like some sort of genetic reject of Paris Hilton as if Peris isn't wonky enough looking.

Sorry, I'll just lust after a cartoon character like the rest of ya'll to fit in I guess.

lol not me I go after realist people in my life not movie stars I could never have or cartoons that don't exist, being grounded in reality is a nice thing.

I'm with Stryker, Tisdale is pretty hot.

Ok yeah... just looked her up. She started on Suit Life of Zach and Cody but got real famous playing Poodle er I mean Sharpay (who the frak names their kid after a wrinkled dog???) in the High School Musical junk. Never seen HSM and I don't ever plan on even THINK about seeing it. :/

I found a music vid on youtube of her cover of "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid. Jodie Benson should punch her lights out.

But hey! If it wasn't for her grandfather we wouldn't have those super awsome Ginsu Knives....so yeah.... :P

I still don't know what people have against High School Musical. It's no worse than other musicals.

Samuel Wright, actually. He was the voice of the Crab... and the Crab sang that one.

She's another in a long line of pre-fabricated Disney TV stars that appeal to both 12 year old girls, 10 year old boys that are starting to feel... that way..., and 50 year old perverts.

I'm sorry. Call me old school, but for a prefabricated band with a campy TV series, I'm going with The Monkees. At least they could act. Mickey Dolenz especially. Really loved him as the voice of Arthur, first season of the Tick.

(Slowly backs out of this thread due to the focus being lost on the important things - Muppets - and the random throwing around of unfamiliar names).

The Monkees rock!!! Oh man... I just LOVE Mickey Dolenz' cover of Somewhere Out There and Ease On Down The Road. I could just listen to his stuff all day long...his voice is so soothing...*sighs*

They're all also nice guys... met em once after one of their concerts. Well I haven't met Nesmith....dunno if I ever will.

But back to the subject at hand....If this Muppet special gets overly annoying I'll probably just end up changing the channel. Or I'll just mute it when the Jonas brothers and Miley come on....

Too much of Disney's homebrewed superstars and not enough Muppets from the sounds of it.

I don't watch any of those shows (although, if I gave it a chance, I think I would like Suite Life...I think it looks funny.) so none of the celebs starring with the Muppets will be familiar to me (aside from Hannah Montana).

I'll check it out, but I'm afraid my lack of awareness regarding the celebs will bore me.
